DHS Disney's Hollywood Studios Name Change

[neoian]

At the Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Bob Iger confirmed that DHS will be getting renamed due to the significant changes coming to the park. This thread is for discussion on the topic and any rumors / ideas for the reasoning or new name itself.

Since it hasn't been a studio for years I'd say a name change is overdue.

Disney's Hollywoodland?

This will be interesting. I know many that still call it "MGM Studios." Now, just when they start to maybe call it Disney Hollywood Studios, it gets a new name.

I guess it's not the worst idea - hopefully this is indicative of sweeping changes and the park forming a stronger identity for itself. Since there are no actual working studios anymore there, I'm sure "Studios" will be dropped from the name altogether.

Disney's Hollywood Kingdom?

I see several mentions on twitter about the 6-year-old who asked the magic question but no details. What exactly was the question and response?

Disney bring your money and leave it here park? DBYMALIH?

It'll probably be Disney Hollywood Adventure.

 

[Frankie The Beer]

Disney Studios.

 

[NMBC1993]

"Magic Kingdom's Third Gate"?

Or perhaps

"Walt Disney World's other park...not Epcot or the one with animals...the other one...the one with Tower of Terror".

It'll probably be Disney Hollywood Adventure.

This seems the most likely of anything.

Disney Studios.

I'm guessing there will be mention of the word "studio" anywhere to be found.

The name matters a whole lot less then the (lack of) attractions.

Let's just hope whatever they have planned includes ADDITIONS and not just replacements for all of the closed attractions at MGM.

guilty! admittedly it is a terrible habit!

I tend to agree with most and think it will be Disney's Hollywood Adventure

I've heard "Disney Florida Adventure" mentioned, a la DCA.

since it's not anymore (and never really was...) a working studio, i can see them going more the way of california adventure, with elements of hollywood thrown in. not be NAMED california adventure, that's not what i mean. just as an overall feel to the park.

long overdue, in my opinion.

It was definitely a working studio at one point. Why do you say that?

not in the sense that walt disney studios in california was. i always got the feeling it was designed for more production than it ever really saw.

Disney Frozen Adventure. Might as well keep the gravy train rolling along....

Disney's We-Give-Up-Trying-To-Figure-Out-A-Theme-And-Direction Park

Well yeah, it was definitely underutilized, I agree there. But there were several TV shows filmed there, not to mention Lilo & Stitch was done there.

That wouldn't make any sense. The park is 100% California based IPs.
