Following our sneak peek at the work, all construction walls have been removed from the Morocco Pavilion courtyard and fountain at EPCOT. The fountain, which used to feature hand-laid tile from artists flown in from Morocco, now features a more pedestrian look after being re-tiled. The planters around the courtyard were also redesigned, and much-needed trees were removed. The entire plaza is now incredibly unshaded – not great for the hot summer ahead.
First, here’s a look back at the fountain featuring the hand-laid tiles from Moroccan artists.

The rest of the pavilion has damaged tiles and other details that were hand-laid by Moroccan artists. Those will likely need to be replaced soon too, and the refurbishment of the fountain doesn’t instill much confidence.
