food IS a theme park
The walls are down at Disney’s newest attraction opening VERY SOON!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
More songs have been revealed for the new Country Bear Musical Jamboree, we got a sneak peek at a new meet and greet coming to EPCOT and we FINALLY have a reopening date for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. All the latest theme park news is coming up right now on DFB Guide.
The classic Country Bear Jamboree is getting a new look and a new sound this year!
A new show is coming!
We learned in September 2023 that the show would be closing for a revamp, and that Nashville singers, producers, and musicians were involved. And we know that “The Bare Necessities” is one of the Disney tunes being used in the new show. But we just got more info — and we’re sharing it here now!
A week after things stayed stable at Walt Disney World, wait times across the resort trended downward over the past 7 days.
Frozen Ever After
Even some of the resort’s most in-demand rides fell slightly this week at 3 out of 4 Walt Disney World parks (we’re throwing a side-eye your way, Animal Kingdom). Also notably, Rise of the Resistance overtook Slinky Dog Dash for the highest average wait time at Hollywood Studios.
Vacation Fun – An Original Animated Short with Mickey & Minnie opened once again in Hollywood Studios on May 25th!
Vacation Fun
Even as we’re excited to see this popular theater reopen in the park, unfortunately, two other attractions remain closed in Hollywood Studios. However, it’s not just Hollywood Studios suffering from closures. Several other attractions around Disney World will also remain closed this week. Let’s take a peek at what will be closed during your visit from May 25th through June 1st!
Country Bear Jamboree was one of the opening day attractions at Magic Kingdom, opening alongside the park on October 1st, 1971.
Country Bear Jamboree
Last year, Disney announced that the attraction would be closing to make room for a new, updated version of the show — and we’ve been keeping an eye out for every update we can get since then! Disney just shared a sneak peek and more details of what we can expect from this retheme, but now we’ve got another clue that things are moving along.
Disney announced the temporary closing of Country Bear Jamboree in Magic Kingdom late last year to make room for a new, updated version of the show.
Country Bear Jamboree
The original Country Bear Jamboree gave its final performance on January 26th, 2024. The new version of Country Bear Jamboree, the Country Bear Musical Jamboree, is set to debut in Summer 2024. We don’t know exactly what the refreshed show will look like yet, other than that the bears will sing classic Disney songs in new styles like country, rockabilly, and bluegrass. But Disney recently gave us a peek at some new costumes coming to the show, and now we’re pretty much obsessed with the idea of “shapewear for bears.”
If you love Disney, country music, and some Country BEARS, you’re gonna want to listen up!

After wait times EXPLODED last week, things got back to normal at Walt Disney World.
EPCOT
Wait times were pretty much what we expected this week, with one surprising exception: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure overtook Frozen Ever After for the title of longest average wait time at EPCOT.
It is an exciting week at Disney World!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
We get excited any time we get to take something off this closures list. From rides to shows to entire parks, it’s no fun knowing some of your favorite Disney World attractions will be closed while you’re visiting. That’s why we’re so excited to bring you some good news about a Hollywood Studios show this week!
June brings us to the beginning of the summer season in Disney World, which means lots of heat and tons of crowds!
