I still refer to Hollywood Studios as MGM. I was there last summer and a CM tried to correct me and I said no, it will always be MGM.
 
I mostly call it mgm but sometimes... i might call it holleywood studios :upsidedow
 
when i think of mgm i think of the green building here in vegas..just sayin.
 

I call it DHS now. Just like I've gotten into the habit of calling the TTA, the TTA, when I used to call it the people mover.

The DHS thing mostly has to do with the fact that my mom works at Department of Human Services (DHS) and we giggle everytime we say it in the Disney sense.
 
i do.
but i mostly call it "studios" which is a CM thang.
 
They changed the name of the park? Wait...what? I think I missed something..? eh? :eek:
 
It's MGM. Sorry Disney, you're not gonna change its name for me.
 
I call it MGM.
Sometimes I stutter and sort of say DHS.
 
I mix between the two. I usually call it MGM though.

I still call the Seas with Nemo & Friends the Living Seas though. I guess it's because the SWN&F is a mouthful.
 
Sometimes I call it the studios but mainly MGM.
It will always be MGM.
My dad's reaction to the name change:
But it's not in Hollywood.
I don't think he quite gets it xD
 
I call it Hollywood Studios or the studios and it is nothing against people that call it MGM its just that I like the name Hollywood Studios better
 
I definitely do!! :) I can't stand that they changed it!! It really makes me mad too!! :mad: They've changed so much from the original "set-up" of WDW.

The original "set-up" of WDW was pretty much going to be EPCOT as an actual city and then a Disneyland east.
It was going to be just Disney World. ("Walt" was added by Roy O. after Walt died).

Considering how awful the theme issues at DHS, the MK, and EPCOT are, a name change to lose another company's name in a Disney theme park title is not really a problem for me.

I wish Walt had lived to see EPCOT as an actual city, not the watered down theme problematic park it is today. Walt could have changed the world even more if his vision had worked out.

added: And DHS is only, like 20 years old this year, and isn't even a working studio anymore. At one point in time, there were actual animators in the Animation section. Too bad.

The 20th anniversary was last Friday, 1st May.
 
It'll always be MGM to me :)
I don't even know what it is in DLRP.. that's just MGM to me aswell (:

If you're wondering its Walt Disney Studios... and they changed "DLRP" to just "DLP" officially :rotfl:

I haven't been; I'm just up-to-date xD

Thanks! I thought I had read something about it.
At the 20th, this happened:
"Imagineer Bob Weis quickly commented, “And this is my favorite view of the Chinese Theater. You can’t get this view anymore. You may be aware of that. But I hope that we will get this view again some time soon.”" from an article at travelears.
