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?
