We stayed @ POR in the AB section, bldg 14. 1st off they upgraded our son & daughter-in-law to a water view & gave us ajoining rooms. We were maybe a minute from the food court. When we got in our rooms they were immaculate & yes there were towel animals. Every day we were there we came back to a clean room with turndown and of course a new towel animal. How do I know the room was really cleaned well? Well it's because I left little surprised here & there daily to see if they would be there on our return. To my delight they were not. The bathroom & sinks were spotless as well. It made for a much nicer trip. It may have been because it wasn't extremely busy but I've been @ very slow times & have never had better(if as good)service. The overall trip was very good. There were a few things but I'm too tired to share right now. Hope this finds all my LP friends healthy & hope the Holidays were kind to you & yours & have a happy & safe New Years!

Thought about going to fireworks downtown or to South Beach and decided against both. If I wanted crazy crowds and parking nightmares ... I would have gone up to WDW. And back to the OP, I'm glad to hear that Jackie had a clean room at Dixie Landings. It is far better to have clean resort rooms and dirty minds, I say! Also, happy to hear that she 'tested' the Mousekeepers too ... I always do that now and sadly they usually fail. MPierce ... how did you and the Mrs. and Winky celebrate NYE?
