The NEW Country Bear Musical Jamboree!

Today is the day, friends!
The NEW Country Bear Musical Jamboree!
Country Bear Jamboree, an opening day attraction, closed in January for a refurbishment/to introduce a new version of the iconic attraction. We’ve been keeping up with all the latest news and updates over the course of these last few months, and today, the day has finally come for the new show to open to the public! But are people actually excited about the revamped show?

One of the oldest attractions in Magic Kingdom is getting a much-needed UPDATE!
Carousel of Progress
Carousel of Progress in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland has been through a few different updates over the years, with a pretty major one back in 2022 that brought updated outfits to many of the animatronic characters in the show’s various scenes. Now, another (but smaller) update has hit this popular attraction!
Okay, we’re just going to come out and say it: It is HOT in Disney World right now.
Things are heating up — literally — in Disney World
It’s summer in Florida, so OF COURSE, it’s hot. This year, though, we’ve already seen record-breaking temperatures, which means a day at the parks can be, well, sweaty and miserable. Now, we’re the first to make recommendations on ways to beat the heat while you’re in the parks (cooling towels, portable fans, staying hydrated, etc.), but we’ve got one surefire trick that always makes us feel better when we’re traipsing around Magic Kingdom on a hot day.
Did Disney just open its most expensive ride update ever? Experts believe that may be the case!
Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
The Disney Parks are fresh off the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disney World and we’re still eagerly anticipating the California counterpart at Disneyland Park at some point this year. We’ve learned a TON about the new attraction since it was announced back in 2020, and recently it was discovered that the new attraction might be the most expensive ride update in the history of Disney!
Are you at that point where basically nothing shocks you anymore? (I know we are!)
Cinderella Castle
So, about that, here we were minding our business and having a great time at Magic Kingdom when we had the unexpected happen. We’re talking about a specific ride revelation that had us shook. Let’s talk about it!
Well, it certainly has been another exciting week in Disney World, hasn’t it?
Glitter Cupcake Cold Brew
We managed to get a sneak peek at the new Country Bear Jamboree show and we’re still singing some of those songs in our heads. We also had a chance to try a GLITTERY new coffee drink in Disney Springs. Disney also teased us with a familiar treat that was a LIE (okay, we’re over it, but still…). We’re also celebrating 15 years of DFB, which is a HUGE deal. BUT we’re still keeping an eye on Disney World restaurant menus and checking them for updates, and we’ve got even more changes this week.
Get ready to put on your cowboy hats and boots for a wild, country musical!
Country Bear Musical Jamboree
This week two Disney World attractions are reopening — the DVC lounge in the Imagination Pavilion in EPCOT on July 13th AND the Country Bear Musical Jamboree in Magic Kingdom! This means only one show will remain closed in Disney World for now. Find out what will all be closed on your vacation to the parks this coming week below.
Magic Kingdom has been going through a LOT of changes over the past few years.
Frontierland
TRON Lightcycle / Run finally opened in April 2023, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure just opened in Frontierland in the ride building that used to house Splash Mountain (same ride system, different theming), and Country Bear Jamboree went under refurbishment in January to introduce a new show. And it’s finally ALMOST time to experience this updated attraction!
