OK, spill.
My assumption is the only reason they are re-branding the park is so they can do a whole promotional campaign and re-dedication since it was so successful with DCA. Its obvious the only reason they took the "apostrophe s" off DCA was for promotional reasons, there really was no other reason to rename the park. It's kind of a shame that they are renaming since they took the hat down and the entrance of the park actually looks like hollywood again lol (taking that into consideration they will probably just rename the studios part- though IMO that's kind of a waste. 3 names is too much for one park - just keep it the same).
Whatever happens at least its become more clear that big bucks are going into this park, and at least enough to the point that they feel they can rededicate the park.

and then Epcot can be 1980s Kingdom?

Whatever the name change, it surely will have something to do with the Chinese Theatre, which is undergoing a "tweak" and being brought out of the shadows once again.
Disney's Hollywood Kingdom?
I really did not see "Adventure" as a possibility, as like others have stated, it resonates too closely with the immense popularity of IOA.

Just a side note Sea World Parks dropped The Adventure Parks name/line altogether and it is removed from any and all marketing as of two years ago.
But your point still very much stands.

Are they hoping a new name is supposed to draw tourists who would be ignorant to the park's history? Like "oh hey they have a new Walt Disney World park... Disney's Cinema Kingdom"
I would think most visitors would know it is an existing park and not a new one, so why even make the name change?

I'm ok with Disney's Hollywoodland too. I like the nod to the old sign as well.

Disney's Florida Adventure makes 0 sense. I would be surprised if it doesn't end up being Disney's Hollywood Adventure.

I guess i worded it wrong. Tried to correct the post. I guess I just don't understand the reasoning for changing the park's name

I'm think Disney's Hollywood Adventure sounds halfway decent. Better than putting studios in the name, just my opinion though.

Because it's not a studio anymore, and they're removing everything about it being a studio. When it opened, a big part of the draw was seeing actual working soundstages, animators working, etc. All of that's gone now. So they're looking to re-theme the park to get away from the studio atmosphere.

Hmm, I never thought about it like this before, but what if they did a Hollywood theme (as everyone is saying) and there was a Studio Land in it or something like that? Which would justify keeping the tower and such. I dunno, I'm just thinking out loud. Haha.

Universal Studios doesn't seem to have the problem of people expecting to see production facilities and the newer parks have also ditched the studio aesthetic.
