I had read that they were going to start on a new restaurant in Morocco sometime in January, has anyone seen or heard anything. Hoping it will be open for our May trip.
That would be an awfully fast build..
Well if we do not get to see it in May we will have to wait until our F & W trip. We are big foodies so we just love all the additions coming We are DVC at BCV and have Aps ( Got to love all the initials stuff going on )so to have the extra dining options all in walking distance is a huge plus, I would however love to see some new rides. They did just update Test Track and the new Fantasy Land is open so I can not complain on that.While I have no doubt (since they say they will break ground this month) that this place will be open some time this year, I could not find anything that said it would open in the spring. My guess would be that it would open before F&W begins, though.
They really seem to be putting a lot of emphasis on changing/adding to the dining options at Epcot lately. Just finished the major renos to the restaurants in France (with the continuing work on the soon to open ice cream place). Then there's the conversion of the Fountain View to a Starbucks. Now the addition of the new Moroccan place (which seems like it will be very similar to Tutto Gusto in its approach?)
I wish they'd put some of the money into refurbing/replacing some of the aging attractions instead.
the comments at the end of that blog segment are actually more interesting than the article itself. Some really thought provoking comments about the dwindling viewing areas for Illuminations, as well as how this place could very well have a negative impact on the TS restaurant at the back of the pavilion. Interesting reading.
