But it will be a park that represents the various studios, although I agree that they will want to get rid of the "studios" word in the name.
While true, 'studios' also refers to a movie production company as well as the production site, as in "Which studio produced the best musical ever made, Xanadu?"
So, "Disney Studios" certainly works, dropping the "Hollywood." Except... they certainly seem to be doubling down on place-setting DHS in L.A., which would mean it's a Hollywood location. Right now, DHS is more California than California Adventure.
Disney MovieLand!

Please, why don't you drop those "high-brows" of yours and watch some real musicals... like The Apple!

Based on what? The biggest name in the studio park concept is Universal Studios and they haven’t bothered to include production facilities since Universal Studios Florida opened. Japan and Singapore aren’t production facilities. Beijing won’t be a production facility. Dubai, Korea and Moscow were not supposed to be productions facilities. Granada Studios and Fox Studios Australia are hardly well remembered names.

Um, because there are no studio productions anymore?

And again, most studio parks don’t have production. Only one has major production.

I state the obvious and people want to argue. The name will change and it won't have "studios" in it. Sigh....
I don't know if that will the be the case, however, we're telling you that there is another meaning for studio, i.e., a movie production company. Disney has at least six studios under its corporate umbrella, and I'm not referring to theme parks. A theme park can be called Knottsbury Farms and not actually be a farm. And Animal Kingdom is not actually a kingdom. A theme park based on movies produced by studios can be called a studio theme park. Yeah, it's confusing because there are also theme parks built around actual and active studio lots, which was the origin of studio theme parks, but they don't have to be. Just like Disney World isn't an actual world.

Double-like. First, I figured that @Sir_Cliff would "Suddenly" like the movie reference. Second, how about Disney's Movie Kingdom?

Actually it seems that just the proper punctuation might solve that problem. Disney Studio imply singular reference of the studio that produced a number of movies, etc. By making it Disney's Studios makes it a possessive. In other words, studios owned by Disney. That would cover anything that was originated by Disney or IP's acquired by Disney over time. It will be interesting to see what they actually do come up with.

Good point. But didn't one park recently lose its apostrophe? DCL? It was about a month ago.
Edit: DCA?

I do vaguely remember that happening, but, that maybe because it didn't fit... this one would. I don't expect it to happen, I'm just saying that it would be correct to do it that way, in my mind.
Apostrophes missing. "The"s removed. Pretty soon, it will all just be one unique glyph, just like with Prince.

Ah yes, I remember when Mickey stepped in and picked this symbol instead of a name. Which of course, not being pronounceable, we simple call it "The park formerly known as Disney Studios".
I'm on board. Though it will have to be red as opposed to purple. Just seems right.

I've been hoping "Hollywoodland" for awhile. Such a clever play on both it being a theme park and a place full of old california...

It may have been said already, but Disney's Half Day Adventure.

To be honest, I don't see anything wrong with just keeping the current name. It will continue to be a park about entertainment and movies and have some parts with an idealized Hollywood theme, so why not Disney's Hollywood Studios?

Dang. I told my buddy that I go to for photoshop and graphics to come up with something for this last week.
Edit: Check that, my suggestion was for EPCOT, but still, great minds think alike.

It won't be a half day park soon, You will have to spend an entire day waiting in line to do half the park.
