"Announced today, Walt Disney World is returning their famous Polynesian hotel to its original name, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, as part of an ongoing makeover."

That's the hotel's original name, but the name was changed to Disney's Polynesian resort in 1985.

We stayed there when I was a kid before 1985 - must be why I still always call it The Polynesian Village. :)
 
Just wondering, do you still say "Disney-MGM"?

All the time! I catch myself typing it that way too, but then I try to go back and fix it so people know what I actually mean.

I also always type EPCOT in all caps because it's an acronym...I've started to stop doing it that way now. :laughing:

I HATED the name "Disney-MGM" so I started calling it Hollywood Studios as soon as I found out about the name change.

I still find myself saying "Epcot Center " sometimes and I used to thing Magic Kingdom was "Disney World".

On topic, I prefer the name "Polynesian Village" so I'm glad for the name change.
 
If you've been following this on the Resorts forum, this was known for months :)

True. This as well as the removal of the water feature. The only real news is the addition of Trader Sam's Grog Grotto.
 
Well, I never knew it changed in the first place, so it's news to me! :)

It took me a few years to get out of the habit of calling it MGM, and I still slip up from time to time. I didn't initially like the Hollywood Studios name but it's grown on me.

I do! I don't even think my kids (16 and 20) as well as my dh would know what I was talking about if I said HS and we go at least once a year, sometimes twice. :rotfl2:
 
A++++ for the Trader Sam's addition! My absolute favorite place at DLR. Any news re: potential opening dates?
 
This calls for the closing of 'Ohana to restore the Papeete Bay Verandah!:earsboy:
