MK Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

[Professortango1]

The tech and polish have improved, but the show is bland now. The loss of the gags and themed sets has made the whole thing seem more one-note. I just wish we could get Vacation Hoedown back.

Apolgiies for the other site, but this is very interesting.

Hopefully this means this satisfies management enough to keep our bears around.

Great news !!!

That was the purpose for the entire refurbishment in my opinion.

My guess is almost any new show (or the return of the seasonal ones) would have been liked better than the original by the general public.

That doesn't mean they had to do the all Disney sing-along version they did, or that it could have been better.

May be a question for @lentesta, but has any retheme been surveyed as “less popular” than the ride/version it replaced, especially when measured within the first year of replacement? I’m sure Tiki Room Under New Management was voted higher by guests than what it replaced. Similarly, was the current Tiki Room voted higher by guests than than UNM?

OK, here's my assumptions:

• Minor shows, parades, and character greetings don't count
• Going back to 2010

I found several and all of them are major shows or fireworks.

• Up! A Great Bird Adventure replaced Flights of Wonder in April 2018. No age group preferred Up! to FoW. That's why we got Feathered Friends in Flight, which is the highest-rated version of that show.
  
  
• No EPCOT nighttime show since IllumiNations has been rated as high as that.
  
  
• Happily Ever After is 4.5 stars across the board, but Wishes was 5 stars by everyone over age 18 and 4.5 stars for all other age groups.
  
  
• Disney Enchanment, which replaced Happily Ever After, was not rated as high.
  
  
• O Canada! was rated higher by age groups from pre-school through teens than is Canada Far and Wide.

You could argue that Frozen - Live at DCA was less popular with Teens than the Aladdin show it replaced. But it's more popular with preschoolers, so that's probably a wash.

I would bet money that EPCOT's Journey Into Your Imagination was not rated as high as Journey Into Imagination. JIYI lasted 53 weeks before getting shut down.

Could the Christmas special ever return?
