It's been too long: DHS???

When did MGM become DHS???

I can't believe I missed this! I just looked it up on Wikipedia (Disney's Hollywood Studios - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and now I feel less clueless, but it's amazing how time just flies by....

Re: It's been too long: DHS???

The change was on Jan 1. It took a while for all signage in WDW to be changed over from MGM. Even the buses didn't change right away.
By the way, DHS= Department of Homeland Security.

Merlin...so happy to see you. Hope all is well with you and your's.

Didn't know that MGM was DHS? You DO know what that means don't you? You are over-due for a WDW trip...get booking mister.

If it makes it any easier, just call it Studios like I've always done.

AGREED!!

I guess it means I am an old-head but I liked it the way it was! When we were down in September I could not stop saying MGM and folks looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears.

MerlinMatt, glad to hear from you! Oh, and by the way, in case no one has mentioned it, MGM is now called Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Got to agree. I think the Hollywood is over the top. DS or Studios.

Re: It's been too long: DHS???

I still call it MGM and every time I do Matt pretends to not know what I'm talking about until I say "Disney's Hollywood Studios" and then he is all like "Ooooh, right" like he finally realizes what I was saying...




I just had to post in this thread cuz MerlinMatt started it.
