Changes

Morocco was one of the countries planned for World Showcase dating back to 1978 <ref> http://progresscityusa.com/2011/06/19/epcot-origins-a-model-future-1978/ </ref>. Although the pavilion was not an opening day pavilion, Moroccan themed bathrooms were operational on EPCOT Center’s opening day <ref name= "potties"> http://progresscityusa.com/2010/02/16/the-mystical-potties-of-morocco/ </ref>. Construction on the rest of the pavilion then began in late 1982, with the official groundbreaking taking place in 1983 <ref name= "potties"/>. Finally, on September 7, 1984 the Morocco pavilion officially opened <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/guide/430/Walt-Disney-World/Epcot/World-Showcase--Morocco/ </ref>. Since the pavilion opened it has seen a relatively few number of changes. Besides the changing of many of the shops located in the marketplace, the only major changes in Morocco have been the addition of the Tangierine Café on October 12September 30, 1999 <ref> http://www.intercot.com/discussion/archive/index.php?t-195363.html </ref> (which replaced the tourism bureau) and the addition of Spice Road Table in January 2014 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/spice-road-table/news/11jan2014-review---spice-road-table-at-epcot's-morocco-pavilion.htm </ref>.
