As Disney keep renaming locations, do you find yourself able to keep up? It's taken me until this year to not call Hollywood Studios MGM. Now Downtown Disney is Disney Springs? This is a hard one......

Anyone else?

I know people that still call MK, Disney World, from back in the day when MK was the only park. You just CAN'T change some people's thought process. ;)

When I was a kid it was called the Disney Village Marketplace. It took my siblings and I about 5 trips to start calling it DTD. I'm sure I will eventually start calling it Disney Springs, but for now it's still DTD for me.

I will be calling it "The Springs" or "Disney Springs -- what used to be Downtown Disney" for quite some time. When Disney Springs becomes the de facto name, then I'll drop the second term.

I actually find this name change easier to swallow. That whole area has been so re-worked that it only faintly resembles when it was Downtown Disney and Pleasure Island. Disney Springs seems like a good match for all the changes.

The Downtown Disney name makes more sense at Disneyland to me. I'm good with Disney Springs at Walt Disney World.

It's still a boring collection of shops IMHO I don't care what they call it. I think of it as the mall. Yawn
