I'm glad that Disney Hollywood Studios will change the name I hope it is Disney Hollywood Adventure! I love that name!

I just returned from WDW last night. THE HAT, which was NEVER an icon, but a special feature that never went away, has been removed. And, I have to say it's about time. When you enter the gates, the first thing you notice is the chinese theater which is what you should see. You actually have the feeling of walking into a movie studio.

My daughter, who has only know DHS with the hat, commented that it really looked better without it. The Earful Tower is the official icon of DHS but was pushed into the background by the hat.

As an Annual Pass holder, I have often wondered if Walt would be making the same decisions that are being made today... would we see the same parks that are unfolding … would he sacrifice the magic to make the money.

The American Idol Experience closed last year. There are rumors that Lights, Motors, Action! will close as well.

Sorry, Kayla, American Idol is already gone.

As long as the Great Movie Ride stays in and Lights, Motors, Action and the American Idol Experience, I'm happy.

Well I guess you'll have to settle for 1 out of 3, since LMA and the AIE are already confirmed closings.
