I will always call it Dixie Landing too.

As for the rest of this: I never think of it being North and South, just one country as that is how it has been my entire life.

Well, I guess it depends on where and how you were brought up. I'm as hardcore USA as anyone, but the South is where my heart is and always will be. My family has been in Louisiana since they came from France when Louisiana was just a fledgling French Colony, and my ancestors fought for the Confederate States of America in the American Civil War. There's nothing wrong with being proud of your roots!

Being a native Houstonian whose family moved here from Kaplan and Abbeville Louisiana, I can say you are not from the 'South' - you are from your own country. I mean that in nicest way possible. You can proudly say you are from two countries: the good old US of A and LOUISIANA...

I never said there was, please don't think that is what I meant. I just was saying for me, that is how I felt about it. Most of my family came after the civil war. My mother was born in Ireland after my Grandmother who was from Ireland met my Grandfather who was a US GI in England during the WWII. My mother and Grandmother came to the USA when my mother was 6 months old. My father's side is a little tougher to figure out (I have no clue and I don't ask :lol: ).

I acually live abou 30 minutes from Washington's Headquarters which is in Morristown, NJ as well as where his troops slept in Jockey Hollow (I think). I have never been there, I guess I should some day...

Not to go off topic some more about Dixie Landings, but I call it that 99% of the time becase that's what it was when I went to WDW the first two times. I never have, and still don't, thought about it as something political and strictly a "southern" thing. I know the resort is modeled after the south, so why not keep the name of it? I wish some things would stay the way they are and not have people go on and on about needing to change it. Long live the days of DIXIE LANDINGS! (By the way, I'm from IL and I'm all about one USA and nothing separating the north and south.)

Yeah, I hate name changes. I still call the WEDway People Mover, well the WEDway People Mover.
