Before November 2008 for sure. How far before, I can't say...

It was mentioned in the Spring 2008 Disney Files magazine. It probably changed in October 2007 since that is when the Carolwood Pacific Historical Society generally meets at Disney World.

I believe it was the end of 2007, as mentioned. My family still calls it the Iron Spike room.

Of course, we still say WEDWay People Movers and Dixie Landings too. I guess we don't handle change well.

On our last trip my son mentioned MGM and I said "it is actually called Disney's Hollywood Studios now". He said "well I call it MGM" Guess it is hard to change something you have known forever.

The date the name changed was mentioned during the 4/7/2010 Dis Unplugged podcast. A listener tried to stump the Dis Unplugged crew by asking the name of this room during "Stump the Roundtable" on 3/31/2010. The Dis Unplugged crew researched the issue and found the answer.

Sorry I don't remember the date.
