News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

Br’er Bear…?!

I keep forgetting about this update. I’ll be honest and say I was never a CBJ fan. I’ve seen the show only a handful of times. This will be nice to have better AAs and a new show. Can’t wait to see what this surprise is! I’m also being on a big name artist singing one of the songs.

Better AAs ? I did not hear they were replacing the actual AAs...just adding Disney songs for Synergy.... New AAs and settings would be nice...

I hope the old animatronics stay. They were charming, even (and especially) with the sound of their mechanical movements.

all new audio with dimensional sound? I would love that! Seasonal Overlays like a Christmas Hoedown and Summer vacation Hoedown? I would love that too! No new Disney cartoon characters? I would especially love that!

My problem with seasonal overlays was the fact that I'd only ever seen the inferior summer show in Florida three times in my youth before finally seeing the classic show in California.

And I should add that it’s a positive surprise lol. I think every Disney fan will approve.

Including "The Great Outdoors" from the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown as one of the Disney tunes?!

They remain, but with improvements.

Good to hear!

Is that the big surprise?

They should run the original show and the new version on a morning/daytime/evening schedule like Impressions de France and BATB sing-along

My guess is that this means at least some of the original songs are remaining in the show.

 

[wdwmagic]

No, it is something new.

Or at least keep the programming so they have the option to bring it back for a special event like Epcot does with soarin over California

I was going to ask. I heard something about a decent overhaul of the bears. Wasn't clued into how in-depth it is but it's either a full rebuild or conversion to servo based. Leaning towards hefty rebuild.

 

[BrianLo]

No, it is something new.

Baloo?

 

[MerlinTheGoat]

No, it is something new.

If it's not the armpit farting Walken AA, then it had better be Humphrey the Bear performing Put it in the Bag...



Ticks the box for environmentalism too.

Here's me waiting for In the Bag to show up on Disney+

Big Al singing Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah

 

[surfsupdon]

As a big Disney fan, and someone who loves classic Disney, I am going to guess the big surprise is that one of the songs will be Zip a dee doo dah. I mean, THAT song is ICONIC Disney. It would fit the new direction of the show, give a subtle nod to an extinct attraction, and it’s a beautiful ear worm that will make many fans happy!

 

[ToTBellHop]

Baloo?

I do not think most WDW fans would approve of that.
