At leat when EPCOT Center/Epcot theme park had their anniversaries they still used EPCOT Center branding. However, for the Studios, they can't mention MGM at all! No real retro merch for this half day park!
I wonder if there are contractual issues, since they would need to use the MGM name/logo and the original contract expired 5 years ago. That's the only thing I can think of, since nearly nothing has mentioned the original name, let alone had graphics with it

OK, you guys asked for it- Here's the link to my look at the Studios after 25 years. I was there on the 15th of May 1989. There's tons of now vintage photos, concept art, a trip report that spans multiple visits from 1989 yo 2007 and more. Enjoy!

Great post, it definitely takes me back! While I never went opening year, my first visit was 1990 so it was still new and fresh. I remember we just went on the tram tour and that was it.

What a sad re-dedication. Someone decided to re-write history and ignore even mentioning the previous name of the park, and especially ignored any mention of Michael Eisner. Sad.
I bet it's a lawsuit if those three letters are used. By the way, was the dedication plaque remade for DHS when they renamed it, just like EPCOT Center's was?

This is awesome! I just posted the link on twitter, if that is OK with you. Your photos are amazing! Brought back tons of memories...

I have so so so many photos of Super Soap Weekend that I need to find. My best memories at the Studios were during those weekends. :)

I was waiting at the end. There was a hesitation where Eisner's name should have been. Every time I have heard the Epcot plaque read in a video Card Walker's name is always mentioned. Somebody doesn't want to give any credit to the last guy? Hmmmmmm........
