When it comes to packing and unpacking, nobody beats Judy in efficiency. She had us pretty much packed up last night, so all we had to do was to load the car and we left OKW. Our method is to let the kids bring everything out, while I pack the car. While I was waiting outside, I noticed that there was a lot of construction going on in building 42. I asked one of the workers what they were doing and he told me it was regular maintenance. They were updating the plumbing, fixtures and other maintenance. It’s good to see our common charges being applied.

We drove to EPCOT to finish up stuff we hadn’t seen yet. I decided to forgo the ECV today and try walking with one crutch to keep the weight off of the foot. We first went to Universe of Energy. Then over to the Wonder of Life for Cranium Command and Body Wars. It’s funny, I remembered Body Wars being rougher than Star Tours, but now it didn’t seem as rough. Elana wanted to try Test Track, so we decided to see how the line looked. I told her we would only do it if she would do the singles line with us. I explained exactly what that meant and she agreed. The wait was 75 minutes, so we happily volunteered for the singles line and found ourselves right at the door with only a German family in front of us. As we got to the boarding area, the CM firs pointed to Seth for one spot, then Elana for the next. She announced she didn’t want to go alone and pushed Sara ahead of her. I reminded her of what we agreed, but just at that moment, the CM pushed Elana and me to adjoining spots for the same car, so all worked out well. Elana like it so much, she wanted to go again, but I told her next time.

We left EPCOT to check into Dixie Landings. Our check in CM was Tonya, a college intern from Eastern Michigan. She was so helpful in trying to find us a corner room. She pulled out a site plan and as each room popped up on her screen, she would check the plan to see if it was a corner. We got room 5709 in Magnolia Terrace. It was convenient, because it faced the parking lot.

Before going to the room, we had a late lunch at the Colonel’s Cotton Mill. We then went to the room and unloaded. I have to say that while I like to try different resorts (this was our first time in Dixie Landings), it’s hard to do after staying in OKW. Everything pales in comparison. The rooms are about the same size as Coronado Springs, but where there was room on the floor in the corner between the TV and the sinks for Seth in Coronado Springs, there wasn’t in Dixie Landings. But, the corner room, with windows on two sides, while no bigger than a inside room, does look bigger and is a great suggestion.
