The lounge is nestled within the now-closed Restaurant Marrakesh in the Morocco pavilion, offering a cool and comfortable escape from the hustle and bustle of the park. While we did encounter a busy day with a virtual queue implemented (our return time was about an hour), the wait was definitely worth it for some air-conditioned relaxation.

Here’s what makes this lounge extra special for Annual Passholders:


  • Complimentary Snacks & Drinks: Quench your thirst with refreshing water and nosh on delicious complimentary snacks. Perfect for a pick-me-up during a long park day.
  • Charging Stations: Keep your phone juiced up and ready for capturing all those magical EPCOT moments.
  • Exclusive Passholder Button: Snag a limited-edition Passholder button to commemorate your visit.
  • Surprise Character Appearances: Keep your eyes peeled! Special Disney friends might just drop by to say hello and spread some pixie dust.
    • During our visit, Genie was greeting guests in the lounge!
