Why did PO & DL merge?

Jajaun, sorry to be tardy in responding but it is county fair week here and my grands are entered in most everything. I am plumb tuckered out. LOL

It does not have the sit down restaurant anymore and the bus service is combined with Dixie Landings so it does not run like it did before. I am glad to hear that the piano player is still in the lobby, I hope. Maybe you are thinking about the Old Dixie Landings section which still has it all but now shares bus service with the old Port Orleans/French Quarter section?

Just want to make a point. PC was started by the Clinton/Gore White house. And we have been paying for it ever since. That's ALL I have to say about that.

Mitros, way back when I was a mere child, eons ago, my best pal and I used to sit under a tree and discuss this very subject ad nauseum. She had one opinion and I had another. We were both white BTW (not that it really matters). We still have basically the same opinions but have managed to stay friends in spite of not agreeing on everything. Awesome!!

My problem with PC on any old thing is that everyone is supposed to agree on everything and that just ain't possible. In every case I can think of things have kept to an even balance (sometimes over a period of years) by people who have different points of view.

It doesn't matter to me what color a person is as long as they love the Mouse. LOL

I remember this PC nonsense coming from much further back too. Not that I would blame any adminstration for it.

I agree with the assessment of the theming except that I always saw it as Louisiana style theming and not so much based on the whole south. I saw the city of New Orleans and the nearby plantation houses and of course the cajun influence in the cabins. Which is exactly the way I see southern Louisiana nowadays. I never thought of the cabins as slave cabins!

I personally was disappointed when the name was changed, I thought the original Dixie Landings name fit the resort perfectly.

I agree!! I LOVE the name Dixie Landings, thats why I keep it in my signature!! My girls love that resort and ask when we are going back!! It will always be Dixie Landings to us!! Maybe they'll change it back!!!???!!!

Yeah a CM told us this. They changed it because of the nameand being PC....but is dixie a bad word? I don't get it.

"Dixie" is only a bad word if you are an uninformed elitist liberal who tries to find the bad in everything they see.
Amazing how similar the resort looks to New Orleans, does that mean that everyone in New Orleans is also a racist ?
None of my African American friends were ever slaves, nor have any of my Caucasian friends of european descent ever owned a slave. Lets move on please ! I think we can all agree that it WAS wrong and America has repented.
