PIXAR Studios?
The rumor that Disney MGM studios would loose its MGM name has been around for a while now but according to the current rumors and the new MGM project in Korea this could become reality very soon. A new name could be Disney Studios, which would make sense, but one rumor floating around is that the new name could be Disney/PIXAR Studios. (Source: Mousetunes). Remember, it is only a rumor, nothing is finalized.
Personally I would not like the PIXAR in the new title and I am making my predictions that it will not happen. It just doesn’t sound catchy enough and unfitting. I would think that Disney Studios will become the new name and that the PIXAR title will stay out of it. I am sure they could give enough reasons for putting the name in it but to me it sounds wrong. Most people will know and understand that PIXAR has become part of the Disney family and even with enough PIXAR inside the Studios park, no PIXAR title is needed to explain this to the guest. Then again, I could be wrong and the rumor could turn out right.
MGM’s project in Korea on the other hand does look very interesting and appealing. Not that it will harm Walt Disney World, or any other Disney park in the world, as it is far away of any of the Disney theme parks.
Even being the big Disney fan that I am, I will follow the Korea project out of interest. Not that I would make it out there (unless they invite me), but I can’t help myself looking and gazing over the project as I am a Theme Park enthusiast. (Disney is just the best, but I do visit and like - not love – other parks.)

[...] “Midway Mania”, a dark ride featuring Pixar characters, is rumored to replace the show. Giving the MGM studios renaming rumor to Disney/PIXAR Studios another reason to become reality – although I still think it will not happen, but I could be wrong. [...]
