food IS a theme park
Ahoy there, mateys! Exciting news is coming your way from Disney World!
It’s finally here!!!
Disney just announced the opening date for the new Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge coming to Magic Kingdom.
This hidden gem of World Showcase has plenty to offer.
Morocco Pavilion
The Morocco Pavilion is one of EPCOT’s most unique World Showcase countries. Originally opened in 1984, the country was the first (and to date, only one of two) nations added to the park following its 1982 opening. Morocco was also unique in that, at the time of its opening, it was the only World Showcase Pavilion that was sponsored by the government of the country represented, as opposed to a corporation native to the country. As part of this unique arrangement, Morocco’s ruler at the time, King Hassan II, sent Moroccan artisans to design and create the many mosaics and architectural flourishes that make up the pavilion, giving the land an authenticity rarely seen in a theme park. Disney took over control of the pavilion from the Moroccan government in 2020.

Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is the busiest theme park in the world, offering a library of technologically advanced mega-attractions and timeless classics that have become traditions for millions.
Aladdin and Jasmine on the Magic Carpets
However, over my years of visiting the Magic Kingdom, I’ve realized there are some rides in the park that have definitely outstayed their welcome, especially in their current state. Now, I’ll state that I’m sure there are those who love these rides, and in a vacuum, they do have some redeeming qualities, but not enough to tip the scales.
