Disney World is known as The Most Magical Place on Earth.
And while this statement is true, sometimes wild, unbelievable, and creepy things take place at Disney World.
Well, partners, the time has come.
January 26th marks the very last day of the Country Bear Jamboree as we know it. This show of animatronic bears was one of the opening-day attractions at Disney World back in 1971. Disney shared back in September, 2023 that the Jamboree would be undergoing a refurbishment to modernize the show and make it feel brand-new again. Disney brought in Nashville artists to write the composition for some all-new songs — country music renditions of Disney tunes! Disney also said we can expect to hear some familiar tunes as “easter eggs” from the current show. A lot of Disney fans are pretty bummed to say goodbye to the classic attraction, as the Country Bear Jamboree is one of the last remaining things that Walt Disney himself played a significant role in creating. The new show, Country Bear Musical Jamboree, is set to open this summer. So, shall we go see what crowds in Magic Kingdom look like as folks say their goodbyes?
No matter how many times you’ve been to Disney World, it seems there are almost always new little secrets, hidden Mickeys, and fun traditions to discover on every visit.
In fact, there are some SUPER secret things we bet you never even knew Disney does or used to do in the parks. Well, we’ll let you in on some fun information — one of these classic Magic Kingdom traditions that you might have never known about is coming back soon!
Watching a character cavalcade is fun on its own, but it’s truly something special when you lock eyes with your favorite Disney friend and they shout a funny phrase out to you or just give you a personal wave.
But you know what’s even better? Seeing Disney characters interact with one another! Whether it’s just a quick word from an evil villain directed at a character from a totally different movie, or something else, these are some EPIC crossovers we can totally get behind. And today we saw not 1, not 2, but 3 different characters interact with a bear you might just recognize from a classic Disney attraction. What would happen if a Country Bear crossed paths with Gaston? Today, we found out!
Sometimes things go wrong in Disney World.
We’ve seen countless animatronic malfunctions, and boats have sunk with guests in them, but today there was an incident that caused the evacuation of TWO attractions!
“Howdy folks! Welcome to the one and only Country Bear Jamboree!”

Jackie’s Magical Moments has this to say:
The last time I went to the Festival, I didn’t do any of the special events, I didn’t know what to expect at all. I felt like I’d missed everything. It doesn’t have to be that way and you can make the very most of everything if you’re prepared, even if you only have a couple of days. This guide is a MUST-HAVE if you are attending….
