An artist paints the new logo for Disney’s Hollywood Studios high atop the famous “mouse-eared” water tower on the backlot of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Last month, Walt Disney World officially changed the name of the showbiz-themed park in Florida from “Disney-MGM Studios” to “Disney’s Hollywood Studios.” Painters began work on the water tower this week, painting over the old logo that had been there since the theme park opened in 1989. The giant Mickey Mouse ears on top of the water tower have made the structure – nicknamed the “Earffel Tower” – a theme park icon.
