"It will always be MGM Studios to me"

[WDWVolFan]

I had watched a video on Rob Play's site about why Disney-MGM Studios was renamed to Disney's Hollywood Studios, and more importantly, why it was called Disney-MGM Studios to begin with:


What really gets me is why everyone still refers to it as "MGM Studios" or even just "MGM", when the MGM name, as we speak, has been pretty much purged from the park's existence, for financial reasons, mainly, as the video explains. The park has come a long way since its beginnings as an actual studio. I personally refer to the park, either way, as just "The Studios". That way, regardless of MGM's existence in the park, I don't have to come up with a new nickname for it (although when/if they do change the name, removing the "Studios" part from it, I probably will have to find a new nickname). My nickname does not refer to either Disney or MGM in particular; it is deliberately vague and can go any way.

I still call MGM as well but wasn't it going to go through a name change?

You mean the original Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer? I don't think so.

I can hear Peterman from Seinfeld saying this now.

Peterman: I’m at MGM.

Elaine: MGM?

Peterman: (chuckles) You most likely know it as ”Disney’s Hollywood Studios,“ but it will always be MGM to me.
