What was the original name of Disney's Hollywood Studios when it opened?

The original name of Disney’s Hollywood Studios when it opened was Disney-MGM Studios.

The Walt Disney World park opened on May 1, 1989, as the Disney-MGM Studios Theme Park. Its name reflected a licensing agreement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which allowed Disney to use MGM’s brand and famous lion logo. The park was conceived as both a celebration of Hollywood filmmaking and a functioning production complex, with studio facilities, a backlot and animation operations alongside guest attractions.

The name did not mean that MGM owned or operated the park. Disney owned and ran the property, while MGM supplied branding and certain film-related permissions. The opening-day attractions included The Great Movie Ride and the Studio Backlot Tour. Disney shortened the name to Disney-MGM Studios in common usage, then renamed the park Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2008. “MGM Studios” alone is incomplete, and Disney’s Studio Park was never the official original name. The rebranding reflected a shift away from the park’s original working-studio identity toward themed entertainment based on movies and television.
