I am aware that DISNEY STUDIOS is gone, buldozed and now is an art gallery, all the work stations and offices are gone. The SONY sound stage is also gone, actually sat abandoned for years. Now I am reading that the studios are nolonger being used. It sounds like all the effective uses that DisneyMGM have been abandoned. Has DisneyMGM become a simple themed park also?? It sounds like Disneys Theme parks are losing all of the original intent and are changing to a competitive park against the MagicKingdom, EpcotCENTER and AnimalKingdom. Personally, if that is the case, I think the MagicKingdom wins over DisneyMGM hands down. Anyone else hear of this or notice the changes I think I am seeing? ID

The Sony backstage has been transformed into an American Idol "tryout" type deal not sure it doesn't really catch my or any in my familys fancy so never went into it, but it seems something aloung the lines of you trying out for American Idol..other than that there's not a whole lot that I could see that had changed... If anyone has been there more recently and can tell more feel free I'd like to know how much the Studios has changed since October of last year...
