Is the clock ticking on the Sorcerer Mickey Hat icon at the Studios? YES!

[George Lucas on a Bench]

It would seem to cost a few dollars, therefore it won't happen.

That's why they shouldn't even spend the money on these massive steel structures to begin with. The hat and the wand were oddly constructed in front of or next to already perfect, impressive and iconic centerpieces of those parks. It's just baffling to me that they ever thought to dump money into such projects. This is actually a perfect opportunity for the company to get cheaper and people would support it. Stop putting structures next to park icons and leave them alone. People don't want that crap. Everything's fine the way it is.

I just heard from someone who works for TWDC that the BAH is going to be removed. They also mentioned a potential name change for DHS. I'm not sure if any of this is true but I decided to post it to see if @marni1971 or @Lee or @WDW1974 can confirm or deny these potential plans.

It is fair to note all new merch for 2013 have the Earful Tower as DHS new icon.

Debate away... I hope it's true... I much prefer the Chinese Theater as the focal point when walking into the park.

If they change the name I can pretty much assure you that it simply involves removing the 's in Disney's Hollywood Studios.

That is what I first thought when I heard it. Damn branding! Lol

Ooooh, I hope this is true. And I hope there is more to the name change of the park than just making it, "Disney Hollywood Studios".

But I can't think of anything else that combines the process of movie-making and the golden age of Hollywood...

If you watch some of the WDI videos on the parks blog, Many in WDI are already saying "Disney Hollywood Studios" I just hope we don't end up seeing "Disney Animal Kingdom" one of these days.

Grauman's Chinese Theatre is now the TCL Chinese Theatre. The BAH can stay.

No, it can still go. Far, far away.

I hear it lot from many different people and have since the renaming. I think it is more a holdover from Disney-MGM Studios than indication of what is to come.

Disney (or Disney's) Hollywood Adventure would make a lot more sense.

Sounds a little like Disney's California Adventure though. I still like it!

How many times do we have to re-iterate that the hat is not there because of who owns the actual Chinese Theater.

 

[DisneyparkFreak]

False internet rumor that has just been repeated so often that many believe it is true.

Gotcha Thanks...

If I thought that was the case then I would have said the hat can now go.

The hats days are thankfully numbered that is all but certain.

As is the planet earth but I don't think any of us will live long enough to see much of a change in either.

Since the Mayan prophecy did not come true I am pretty sure we will see the end of the hat in the very near future.

They'll most likely replace it with a bigger wizard hat and a giant magic wand.

Don't be silly! They're going to use a giant Stitch statue wearing a wizards hat and holding a magic wand!

Yeah, Right.

Disney-Pixar Studios?

I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all
