This statement is just sad. I have to echo the feeling of lame attractions. The only true one they have is the new Toy Story ride! And even that is just a variation on a ride they already have! A new parade? Meh. Didn't they already have a Play House Disney show? Another meet and greet? That seems to be Disney's band-aide when they don't have anything good planned-throw in a meet and greet.

Wouldn't this have been a good time to announce, say, a new Indiana Jones ride?

I do like the name though.

Disney's Hollywood Studios all I can say is

Although I do have to admit it is better then Disney Pixar Studios that would have deserved a

. Something that will be true though I Will always call MGM MGM I really can't see myself chaning that. All the times I have ever gone to WDW its always been MGM. I think for alot of people it will always be MGM I think that might be confusing for some with people calling it MGM and other calling it DHS or whatever it is refered to.

I HATE THE NEW NAME!
BOO!

**Jakk** · 08-09-2007, 11:30 PM

A new parade? Meh

But BPB is soooo much better than the current parade!

Didn't they already have a Play House Disney show?

Yeah but it's updated with the current favorites...

That seems to be Disney's band-aide when they don't have anything good planned-throw in a meet and greet.

That's for the time being right now there are many plans for Disney Hollywood Studios! Right now there are two E-ticket attractions planned. One will be a coaster/dark ride that'll kinda be like the Crush Coaster in Disneyland Paris, but it won't be a clone but rather themed to Ratatouille. Then will be the huge reburb for Startours but that's a whole another story. The next E-ticket is supposed to be a lucas property attraction. So yeah there's gonna be alot of changes soon...

I do like the name though

AGREED! ^_^

First off..I like the new name. It makes sense to me. Second..I have also heard the rumours of the "e ticket rides" being added. We'll just have to wait and see. In the past the "Hollywood" studios has been a 1/2 day park. In the future hopefully it will be a whole day park.

I couldn't agree with you more!!!! In BOTH sections!

**Mickey07** · 08-09-2007, 11:54 PM

I like the new name better then the pixar one and I can't wait to see the new parade they have coming, sounds cool.

**AtoZgirl** · 08-10-2007, 12:35 AM

I really hope they don't take away THE Great Movie Ride... or I'd probably never forgive them. The name is {bad} too, btw.... and it will always be MGM to me!

**Sunshine1010** · 08-10-2007, 12:38 AM

In my very humble opinion...

I'm up for anything. It's Disney.

**angedeaile** · 08-10-2007, 01:52 AM

I don't know what to think about the name change. I will always call refer to it as MGM and actually prefer that over Hollywood Studios.

As for the attraction changes, I don't think they are big enough changes to really improve crowds. I guess one of those things we will have to wait and see.

**DonaldDuck1117** · 08-10-2007, 02:41 AM

I mean honestly the only things I do regularly there are ToT, RRC, Muppets, and TGMR. Toy Story will add another ride that I'll do every time, but other than that theres not a whole bunch to do there. I know, or at least i would hope that, Disney is planning some E-Tickets for the Studios because the park needs them. I just think it is comical for Disney to say that this is the most ambitious attraction roll out when really I only see one true attraction to spend more time in the park for. I think this would have been the perfect time to announce one or two of the bigger attractions coming in the years to come.

I dont think its the first park to change its name Disneyland Park in Paris was orignally EuroDisney.

**WeLuvBuzz** · 08-10-2007, 07:02 AM

As or right now I am not trilled with the name, but I can't say that I hate it. I probably would have preferred just Disney Studios or even Disney's Movie Kingdom to go with all the other kingdoms. Of course I agree with other posters that I will have a hard time not call it MGM. After all isn't the people mover still the people mover? As for new rides, I wish they would have announced another E-ticket ride now, but I still love MGM and am looking forward to Toy Story Mania. What I really wish though is they would some how put a path from Rock and Roller Coaster over to Animation Courtyard. That dead end street with two of the most popular attractions causes such traffic jams with people coming and going.

**big blue and hairy** · 08-10-2007, 07:33 AM

For all of the negative posters, keep in mind, Disney isn't going to announce a new ride/attraction until it is 100%. Just because the list that was turned out today isn't awe-inspiring, doesn't mean nothing else is coming. Disney isn't about to put out a new release that says, we're changing the name of one of our parks, see ya. There's always embelishment, no matter how small.

I would have like to see The Studios called The Walt Disney Studios, but I'm fine with Disney's Hollywood Studios. One, the comment about "Hollywood is our middle name", I like that. Two, Disney may choose to revive the Hollywood Pictures name, that's pure conjecture, but...

Everybody take a breath, things seem to be moving the right direction lately at Walt Disney World.

Well, the name's ok. I still would've preferred Walt Disney Studios.

I'm happy the Block Party Bash is moving along, not happy that there's another HSM show in the works. (I just really think it's a waste of time.) And as for "Toy Story Mania" opening in Summer, I hope there's some previews going on in the early part of May.

**Figgyluv03** · 08-10-2007, 08:56 AM

I wish they just cut it down to the Disney Studios. Plain and simple. I do like the Hollywood in there since most of the streets and sections are named after Hollywood stuff, and come on, they do have the Chinese Theater, but Disney Studios sounds good as well. Oh well, as long as they keep the Muppets, I'm a happy camper!!!!

BTW, from the begining of this post the Eagles do sound much better than the Giants!!!!

**Clay Ransone** · 08-10-2007, 09:24 AM

I'm not thrilled about it. I will probably call the place MGM forever. The new name "Disney's Hollywood Studios" just sounds dumb. Calling the place The Walt Disney Studios Florida or Disney Studios Florida would have sounded better. No matter. At least they didn't go all Pixar on us.

BTW: Redskins sounds much better than Eagles or Giants.

**crazypoohbear** · 08-10-2007, 09:28 AM

As for the name change...
"a rose by any other name..."

2nd, the shopper in me is wondering... when I'm there in 2 1/2 weeks will everything that says MGM studios be on sale???

3rd. They really do need to add some rides. Universal is closing Back to the future, that's a great ride, maybe Disney could get it at cost!

4th maybe they will add some better counter service up closer to the front of the park, something along the lines of Flametree

I also don't want the GMR to go anywhere. Maybe update some of the scenes though

**FaithTrustPixieDust** · 08-10-2007, 09:54 AM

I realize that my opinion is just another opinion, but I am very glad that none of the rumored corporate names are associated with this park. That reminds me of all the sports complexes and conference centers we have that change names every 5 years when a new company decides to fork over money for the endorsement. I am glad WDW rose above that. Hollywood is more of a timeless icon and invokes an image in our minds . . . . I think once we get used to it, this name is a far better choice than Pixar, ABC, or MGM.
