Here's my question, BDK:

Al Lutz's most recent article says that the name of Disney's California Adventure will be changed by the end of the decade. The Company doesn't like it for two reasons: 1) It's got the worst brand identity since New Coke; and 2) it's a clunky name that NO ONE uses. Rather, everyone on earth calls the place "DCA."

So I was wondering if there are any theme parks at Walt Disney World that are generally not called by their proper names, or part of their proper names. (I've often heard The Disney-MGM Studio Park referred to as "MGM," but that IS part of the actual name.)

So the only candidate I can think of is Animal Kingdom. Do people generally call it Animal Kingdom, or is it most often referred to as "DAK?"

This inquiring mind wants to know.
