More then two years ago before even the construction and demolition of most of Disney's Hollywood Studios began, it was hinted by CEO Bob Iger during the 2015 Walt Disney Company Shareholder's meeting that the park could get a new name in the future. Nothing has been said about the new name until yesterday. A survey has been found asking guests what names they liked from the list for a new name for the park. Here are snapshots from the survey:
As you can see all the names at least in my opinion are less than stellar, especially with names like Disney XL Park and Disney Kaleidoscope Park. Mickey Views who first reported the survey from an anonymous source said it seems the two leading candidates as there were questions about these 2 specific names in Disney Storyverse Park and one that seems to be in the lead of being considered in Disney Beyond Park.
How valid is this survey? Well, the source that spoke to Mickey Views about the survey said they were part of a focus group earlier in the year to help name an unnamed Mickey attraction that of course was announced last month at the D23 Expo as Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway.
Of course this is just a survey and there may even be more names under consideration (at least I hope there is). It does seem though that we are closer to a new name for the Studios and with Toy Story Land opening next Summer and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opening in 2019 it looks we will find out sooner rather than later. I still like the long rumored Disney's Hollywood Adventure better.
Also, let it be known Disney's Hollywood Studios is on the list so there may be no name change at all. Although having Studios stay in the name doesn't make sense considering the park just no longer fits the Studios name. What do you think of these names? If you had a choice, which of these names would you choose?
