They could have come up with less ridiculous names.

Of the new names I feel that the Majestic and the renaming of Badger are the worse. At least Big Trees Lodge is based on Wawona meaning big trees. The reason why years ago Yosemite Lodge was changed to Yosemite Lodge at the Falls was to prevent confusion between it and Yosemite View Lodge in El Portal. People would try to check in at Yosemite Lodge in the valley only to be extremely upset when they found out that they had made reservations at Yosemite View Lodge and were not right there in the valley. Note: Good thing they didn't name it Majestic Hotel Yosemite or they would have added more confusion since there is a chain of luxury hotels called Majestic Hotel Chicago, Majestic Hotel South Beach, Majestic Hotel and so on.Quote

Sighhhhn....
Actually
Half Dome Village
is pretty good
(I couldn't find any Indian food at "Curry" village)
Yosemite Valley Lodge
is pretty good
(better than Yosemite Lodge at Yosemite Falls or really close to it)
(and at least it's a Lodge... unlike the incredibly ridiculously renamed
Tuolumne Meadows Lodge) (formerly correctly named TM HSC)
Majestic
ok, ya... that ridic
Badger Pass isn't even at Badger Pass
is should have been
Monroe Meadows Ski Area
from the get go.
The whole name thing has been beaten to ....

They should have gone back to Camp Curry. For the lodge, just shorten it to The Yosemite Lodge by dropping the "by the falls" bit.Quote

My assumption is that they purposely came up with ridiculous names so 1) they don't stick, and 2) the names generate more bad publicity towards DNC. Hopefully, the Majestic will revert back to the Ahwahnee and Half Dome Village goes back to being called Curry Village (though it would have been cute if they had renamed Curry Village to Dave & Jennie's Village).

I looked at Wikipedia and it said that the name was changed sometime in the mid 2000's. I could pull out all of my receipts from past trips and see when the name had changed but I don't have the time to do that today. I was told by a manager at the Lodge the reason behind the name change was to end the confusion between Yosemite Lodge and Yosemite View Lodge in El Portal because people were getting upset when they found that they had made reservations at Yosemite View Lodge and thinking it was the lodge in the Valley. I have also heard that explanation from other people. Now if that reason is correct, is anyone's guess unless we can find something written.Quote

I agree with Dave...Half Dome Village should've just been Camp Curry. And I think Delaware North changed the name to Yosemite Lodge at the Falls after repairs made following the big flood.
Any change in Housekeeping Camp's name?
