Epcot is an especially popular choice among adult guests visiting the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. From thrilling rides to cultural experiences, Epcot is the perfect place to spend the day or just relax and enjoy a delicious meal! Disney has just added a brand new experience at Epcot created just for adults, the Epcot After Hours Wind Down. The Epcot After Hours Wind Down includes appetizers and beverages at one of four locations every evening.

Instead of fighting the crowds to leave Epcot after IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, you now have the option to relax with savory appetizers and tasty beverages at one of four locations around the World Showcase. The Epcot After Hours Wind Down is available through September 15 from 9:20 – 11:00 p.m. You can choose to spend your time at either La Cava del Tequila inside the Mexico Pavilion; Spice Road Table at the Morocco Pavilion; Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar in the Italy Pavilion; or Rose and Crown Pub inside the United Kingdom Pavilion. Each of these locations will offer small dishes paired with one beverage, with additional beverages available for purchase.

Spice Road Table will be coming soon to the Morocco pavilion in Epcot. Spice Road Table will offer a variety of Moroccan small plates as well as specialty drinks. Plus, Spice Road Table will offer a spectacular view of the World Showcase lagoon, right in front of the Morocco pavilion.

As a perfect spot to watch IllumiNations or relax with a selection of Moroccan flavors and cocktails along World Showcase Lagoon, the lounge is “a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds,” according to the designers.

There will be an array of small plates available including:

  • zesty harissa chicken drumettes
  • a Mediterranean omelet with sausage, potatoes and caramelized onion
  • mussels with preserved lemons and tomato sauce baked in an earthenware tagine pot
  • Moroccan merguez sausage with a fresh tomato salad
  • garlicky jumbo shrimp in a spicy chile pepper sauce

Inspired by the outdoor cafes along the Mediterranean, the whitewashed facade of Spice Road Table will be accented in icy shades of blue from the famous “Blue City” of Chefchaouen in Morocco’s Rif Mountains. A collection of shops in the colorful style of a Moroccan “souk,” or marketplace, will also stretch along the front of the building. There will even be a henna tattoo artist to create temporary body art from traditional and modern designs.

Spice Road Table will offer 120 outdoor terrace seats and seating for 60 inside with cozy booths, Moroccan light fixtures, tilework, tapestries and art representing Morocco’s indigenous Berber tribes.
