Stupid Question...

The old Dixie Landings resort....that's Port Orleans Riverside now, correct?

 

[bradandsarabr]

Yes, it's the New PORS

 

[MillerPoppins]

Thought so. Wonder why they changed the name?

Political correctness, as far as I'm aware. :shrug:

I think it was PC as well. Anything to do with the word "Dixie" seems to stem feelings of the old South,Rebels, Conderate flags, slavery, etc.

I think Disney felt pressure to change the name by some groups...

 

[MillerPoppins]

Wow..cause I remember it didn't last long as Dixie Landings.

Dixie Landings opened in 1992 and was re-named in 2001, so, about 9 years give or take a few months. At that time, a few other areas were re-named. The Colonel's Cotton Mill became the Riverside Mill, and the Cotton Co-Op became the River Roost. It's also when Bonfamille's at French Quarter closed.
