It looks like Disney's Hollywood Studios will get a new name.
A 6-year-old child at the Walt Disney Co.'s annual shareholder meeting asked a question about whether the studios might change its name.
"It's not announced. We used to be MGM Studios, we changed to Hollywood Studios and we're doing some significant work there right now that I guess will result in a name change," Disney CEO Bob Iger answered. "Now we can announce that. It's not been announced, right? No.
"We'll announce that we're changing the name but we won't announce what we're changing it to.
How's that?"
Disney's name went from Disney-MGM Studios to Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2008.
The park is undergoing a lot of changes. The big sorcerer's hat was just taken down. The Great Movie Ride is undergoing tweaks. Toy Story Midway Mania is getting a third track. American Idol Experience and the Studio Backlot Tour closed recently.
Disney has said it will build more Star Wars attractions at its parks, and Hollywood Studios is considered a natural choice because of its existing ties to the franchise. Attractions based on Pixar franchises such as Toy Story and Cars are also predicted by theme-park bloggers.
