How long will it be Disney’s Hollywood Studios?

August 13, 2007 at 1:58 pm · Filed under Disney World Rumors

Jim Hill is reporting this morning that the new name for the Disney-MGM Studios may only be temporary. In the years to come, the name Disney’s Hollywood Studios may be shortened slightly.

The folks that I’ve just spoken with believe that “Disney’s Hollywood Studios” is just an interim name. That this new moniker will only remain in place until the Imagineers have effectively replaced all of the studio theme park’s soundstages & production facilities with new rides, shows and attraction. At that point — when “Disney’s Hollywood Studios” can no longer be called a working studio — the name of WDW’s 3rd theme park will change one last time to “Disney’s Hollywood.”

Now we are making progress towards a name Disney can move forward with. For better or for worse, the original plan of a working studio is over, and quite frankly that doesn’t upset me in the least. But continuing to call it a “studio” is confusing and opens every new attraction for criticism of not fitting into that theme. The rumored Disney-Pixar Studios name was only more confusing and the new name is marginally better. But Disney’s Hollywood solves the issue entirely.

Besides, Disney’s Hollywood was the name I proposed back in February. (Hit this link and check out the comments.) Just for the want to pat myself on the back every time I attend the park I am rooting for this change to happen.
