Welcome to
planDisney, Lexy!
I'm so glad you found our magical corner of the internet, where this group of extraordinary Disney fans works hard to help make vacation dreams come true. Let's discuss what's happening in one of my favorite World Showcase pavilions.
Currently, the space previously occupied by
Restaurant Marrakesh is the Florida Blue Lounge. Florida Blue is a health insurance company and is, at the moment, providing members and their guests a place to relax and recharge in the back of the Morocco pavilion during the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
If you're not eligible to enter the Florida Blue Lounge but are looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle of World Showcase during festival season, here are a few of my favorite spots.
Spice Road Table. This lakeside table service restaurant in the Morocco pavilion offers fantastic small plates and cocktails in a serene setting. I've had good luck walking up to the podium and scoring a table just a few minutes after getting my name on the waitlist. The Moroccan Mule and Pomegranate-Chili Crispy Cauliflower are a winning combination here.
Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar. Often overlooked, it's the perfect place to unwind and chill out (literally chill - you sit in a cavern - which is a wonderful escape from the Florida sun)
CommuniCore Hall & Plaza. Indoor and outdoor spaces provide a place to recharge your (and your phone's) battery.
The Odyssey. It can be busy during EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, but you can usually find a seat at a table and get off your feet for a bit.
I hope this has been helpful, Lexy. Stay tuned to the
Disney Parks Blog to keep up with new experiences arriving at
Walt Disney World this year and beyond. Thanks again for visiting us at planDisney, and have a magical day!
