As a direct member does this bother you or the more the merrier?

I'm surprised that in 3 pages, no one's brought up the fact that while DVC's lounge doesn't have restrooms, I'll bet that the AP lounge at Restaurant Marakesh does. I suppose I could be a little jealous about not having restrooms, but since the ones outside the DVC lounge are nice, quiet, and clean, it's not a big deal.

The best part of the lounge at DL is the bathrooms. Was very sad to learn no bathrooms at WDW lounges

I'm both DVC and AP, so I approve! LOL. Any news on what the merch discount is, especially since dining is 40%?

I’ve only seen they added the discount if 20% to be used online at shop Disney.

One DVC lounge at WDW has them. The one at Disney Springs. One out of three ain’t bad.

Why did they close it?? Sad I will never get to experience it, didn't even know it was closed

My understanding (?) is that the nation of Morocco & WDW couldn't hammer out a deal to main the restaurant or the entire pavillion. It was originally designed by Morocco to be a respectful artful representation of their culture. Maybe others know more.
The orig WS countries were involved in design of their Pavillions & CMs were only from those nations.
I really miss all of the orig intent of EPCOT.
