The primary reason is because they should want to keep the property open to other non-Disney and non-Pixar stories. The largest example of this right now is the Lucasfilm related films (Star Wars and Indiana Jones). As relationships warm with George Lucas, just as they warmed with Steve Jobs, I think Lucas would be much more likely to allow new attractions under his banner at the Studios if it wasn't specifically attached to Disney or Pixar.

Seems weird to me. Then again, Disney-MGM Studios has always been weird to me. Talk about 'California' as a tough theme -- using 'movies' might be easier, but it's also lame.

Originally Posted By WorldDisney I think this belongs in the WDW section, but I won't tell . Yeah, I don't understand why call it Disney Pixar Studios either? It automatically tells people the park is only geared to those property's even though it may not be. On the other hand, Disney MGM banner didn't just use those products either, hence Indiana Jones example you used. That comes from Paramount and LucasFilm and that didn't bother Lucas then, why should it now? But 'Disney Studios' seem like a better, more general way to go.
Originally Posted By karlg How about "Disney Park Orlando Southeast" in keeping with the generic Disney Parks theme? More seriously, I would think the obivious thing is to name it simpley "Disney Studios." Naming it "Disney Pixar Studios" only serves to statisfy some internal company politics. I could see there being a "Pixar Land." I never saw what the hyphenated MGM did for the park anyway. MGM had already become largely bygone name.

Originally Posted By leemac ^^ I wouldn't sweat about it Indigo. There are no plans that I know of to change the entire park to Disney/Pixar Studios. The Mickey Avenue section will be renamed and rethemed accordingly but the rest of the park will remain Disney/MGM Studios for the time being.

Walt may have "seperated himself" from Hollywood, but there would be no Disney today if it weren't for Hollywood to begin with.
Originally Posted By ChampDisney I would name it Disney Brother Studios. It goes back to Walt & Roy Disney's old studio & with the fact there's Pixar, Lucas, & Muppets around park they could be the brothers of Disney. All in one family.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss It could be argued that earlier, having the name Disney attached to it turned a lot of people off. It was different from Hollywood alright... in a bad way.
