This would be a great way to organize the park but sadly they are getting rid of any overarching concept in lieu of IP-based lands

Universal Studios (in name) has brand recognition recognized the world over. The inception of the Uni parks was, in fact, the studios that existed beforehand. They have absolutely no reason to change the name.

If this deal had gone down 10 years ago I’m sure we would be visiting Disney-Fox Studios Theme Park.
20 years ago, and chances are we’d also have that Hotel Mel rather than ToT (since Fox made all of Mel Brooks films).
I doubt Shirley Temple’s “The Blue Bird” would be a better finale for the Great Movie Ride than Oz though.

I get that, but my point is there's no reason for DHS to need to change it's name. The name really is pretty perfect in terms of where the park is heading.

Wall-E was right from the start. I cant wait until Disney, Apple, Exxon, Amazon and Samsung merge to become "Buy & Large".

It won't have Adventure in the name, I would be willing to bet an annual pass on it. They are not going to change the name of their "Studios" park, which has been confused with the "Studios" park up the road for the last quarter century, by renaming it with something containing the word "Adventures" only to continue being confused with the other park up the road.
And because I know it generally comes up around this time, it also won't have "Cinemagic" in it, either, as that is a registered trademark of a U.S. regional theater chain.

A lot of the newer marketing materials tend to use the phrase “adventure” in them so I wouldn’t at all be surprised to see it called Disney’s Hollywood Adventure.
Just look at the post about the new music updates from Disney. It mentions adventure in there a couple times.

For a park that's slowly losing it's identity; something generic might be for the best.
Careful with those words. Someone might take you up on that offer.

And they seem to be pushing both the 'immerse in your favorite worlds' and 'old school Hollywood' themes, so Disney Hollywood Adventure seems to make a lot of sense.
If the favorite worlds are from the various Disney movie studios and the public space is Hollywood, then the best description would be "Disney Hollywood Studios."

“Studios” refers to the theme of movie-making and the idea of going behind the scenes, not to the fact that the rides are based on Disney studio films.
By your definition, Magic Kingdom should have studios in its name. And pretty much every other Disney park too.
And the use of word's meaning can shift.

It can, and Disney Hollywood Studios would be a fine name for the park in it's new theme, but TDO seems intent on changing it, so I'm rooting for DHA or DHL. I just don't want it to be Disney Cinemagic or XL Park or any of the awful names that were in that survey....

I'm still waiting for Epcot to be renamed. Or maybe a name is a name and should be allowed to grow on.
You must be young. They used the word "Studios" intentionally to associate with Universal's style of park, and to directly beat them out.

Yes, technically the name still fits, but if Disney is trying to change the direction of the park, they will also want to change the name for marketing purposes.
