One of Our Favorite SECRET Lounges Is BACK at EPCOT!

We’re extensively covering the 2024 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and reporting everything we see and taste — which includes a festival secret!

2024 Food and Wine Festival

This year’s Food & Wine Festival is PACKED with tasty goodies, cute souvenirs, and tons of fun. It also has some hidden gems and we’re ready to spill the beans!

By now, you’re probably very aware of all the booths you can visit at the Festival, but do you know about a super-secret lounge in EPCOT’s World Showcase? The Florida Blue Medicare Lounge is BACK this year’s Festival at the Morocco Pavilion in what used to be Restaurant Marrakesh!

Restaurant Marrakesh building

Air-conditioned and away from all the action, the Florida Blue Medicare Lounge is open to all guests via a registration process.

To register, visit the Florida Blue website and fill out this form on the lounge page. Registration requires you to provide your name, email address (giving consent to Florida Blue to send you marketing), and zip code. You must also be 18 or older to register.

Inside the lounge, you’ll find ample seating, art activities, and complimentary beverages such as Moroccan mint tea, cold brew, water, sparkling water, and a variety of juices.

Lounge offerings

The lounge is open daily from 12PM to 6PM through November 23rd, 2024, the same day the Food & Wine Festival ends.

Now through November 23, join us at our Florida Blue Lounge in the Marrakesh Restaurant in the Morocco pavilion during the 2024 EPCOT® International Food & Wine Festival to partake in arts creation, hydration, & relaxation. To learn more, visit: https://t.co/vLnHp4pQkf. pic.twitter.com/QxoBZe1wY9
