Since the reopening of Walt Disney World through COVID, the Morocco Pavilion has been having problems. In September, Walt Disney World filed a UCC Financing Statement, or a type of lien with the state, claiming collateral against “All goods, inventory, the Furnishings, and all other items of personal property belonging to Debtor which are or may be put into the Facilities and all proceeds of the foregoing.”
Now, it looks like Disney will be taking control of the operations of the Morocco Pavilion at EPCOT at the end of the year.
Disney Food Blog reports that a joint statement released by Jacquee Wahler, VP Communications Walt Disney World Resort, and Rashid Choufani and Rachid Lyazidi, Operating Participants Morocco Pavilion states the following:
“After many years of working together, we have a mutually agreed arrangement to begin the process of transitioning operations of the Morocco pavilion to Disney. By the end of the year, Disney will assume operations of this important part of EPCOT and under Disney’s operation, the pavilion will continue to honor the rich traditions and legacy it has since it opened.”
This is not a result of the current global pandemic, rather it was a mutual agreement made between both sides to transition ownership.
The Morocco Pavilion was one of the few pavilions that operated independently from Disney within World Showcase at EPCOT. Disney will assume all operational control over the Pavilion, including four food and beverage locations and all merchandise locations. The Moroccan Embassy and Morocco Tourism Board will continue their involvement with the pavilion as cultural consultants.
