Will kids like Restaurant Marakesh?

[cschulte]

We were thinking of trying this restaurant on this trip. I have a 7-5-2 year old girls, all who are into dancing and I thought they might like to see the belly dancers, but not sure if they'd like the food.

Is there any way to see the dancers without having an ADR?
Thanks.

The band Mo'Rockin performs outside in the pavilion, and they are usually accompanied by a belly dancer.

We had lunch at Marrakesh in Oct. The belly dancer invited children at one point to come up and try belly dancing with her. There were not many people there but there was a boy and his sister about 8 to 10 yrs old who did it. As mentioned, the MoRockin band at night has a belly dancer but I don't remember audience interaction, the belly dancer stayed near the stage. The food was VERY good. They have pasta for kids that is very good and other kids menu stuff. My DS4 had the pasta, fries, and strawberries. I'd come back here definitely, even just for the food. The music and dancing was a great plus.

The same belly dancers that perform in Restaurant Marrakech performs for Mo'Rockin. We're big Mo'Rockin fans... It's a fusion of Morrocan and rock music. The belly dancer does bring kids, usually girls, who are eager to dance up on stage for at least one number in every set. I would warn the child ahead of time, so they don't get stage fright should the opportunity arise... We don't have kids yet, but we see shy kids that miss that photo opp every time we see the show.

An affordable option to dining at the sit-down restaurant is to eat at the Tangerine Cafe in Morrocco... Find the Dessert Bar behind the very back pillars of the cafe... their Baklava dessert is the BEST we have ever had, and it is consistently good. We always buy a few squares. Mmmmm... That Morocco baklava and the "schoolbread" in Norway are on my list of Epcot must-eats.

They have an outdoor seating option, so if it's nice out, you can enjoy Mo'Rockin's music while you dine.
