Is the Restaurant Marrakesh Lounge open for Food and Garden Festival?
For AP?
Florida Blue ?
 
I visited last October. It was open for a limited time. It would be nice if it opened again or something similar. Have not heard anything.
 
It was open during pass holder appreciation days during May of 2024. I can't remember for how long, but I don't believe it is routinely open.

Went in last September. Was required to sign up for the Florida Blue Guest Pass (we do have AP but it didn't help). I just looked at my pass and it was good for August 29 - November 23, 2024. It stated below for the Food & Wine Festival. Nice break from heat, get some water and DS took a short nap.

Haven't seen if open for Flower & Garden.
 
It is being reported by other sites that the new VIP Annual Passholder Days will include Marrakesh as an AP benefit.

A Passholder-exclusive lounge at EPCOT inside Restaurant Marrakesh at the Morocco Pavilion, with air conditioning, snacks, water, and mobile charging.

NOT VERIFIED BY DISNEY! other than they said ...
  • The return of the Passholder lounge
IF it is Marrakesh then it will be closed to anyone other than AP from May 14 - July 31.
 
As long as they are still going to call that part of World Showcase 'Morocco'...
We miss Restaurant Marrakesh and wish it was still there. Set the tone for the whole, great and at least somewhat authentic style pavilion, and think having it a Moroccan restaurant of any type again would be much better than a (part time?) lounge with snacks and phone charging. Especially since what once was delicious Tangerine Cafe seemingly has become a very limited-menu festival food booth.
Sorry for the little side-track and hope you all are having a magical day!

Bummed it will be closed for my trip in July, but I will hit it opening weekend (it will probably be crowded though). I hope they have the Planters mixed bags again, I grabbed a couple and used them as my flight snacks for a couple trips.

Hopefully the snacks are decent. We stopped in when they had it at The Land, and all the snacks were out of date and stale. Very disappointing. I'll be able to check it out a couple times this year. We did do Marrakesh when Blue Lounge, no snacks but water or ice tea. It was great for the A/C and DS took a mini nap.
