News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

[Disney Analyst]

I mean, I get it ... people on these boards want more original attractions, like the WDI of old. Alas, Disney does not seem to be heading in that direction, and that is likely something more on here need to accept. For all we know, in a decade it swings back, and we have more original stuff coming out in the parks.

But what I do often find amusing is the outcry on here when Disney uses some of the most beloved songs of ANY company. Songs that engage kids, bring nostalgia to various generations, and perhaps allows an old attraction to even continue to exist, which may otherwise be removed due to lack of popularity.

Disney is adding their popular Disney songs, into *checks notes* a Disney theme park... Shocking.

I accept it, doesn’t mean I like it. Haha

Much better to remove than it up.

I mean, that's totally fair.

I just think it's the least surprising thing ever. Sometimes it feels people on here actually dislike Disney music and IP, and want nothing to do with them.

Done. Before anyone has seen the finished product, your wish is my command. Country Bears is now no more, to be replaced by an exclusive Disney credit card lounge, only for those who hold a Disney branded CC.

Enjoy the ... soda?

 

[Brian]

It doesn’t play in Fantasmic.

My bad. I was thinking of Friend Like Me.

This is better than nothing. And the people behind it visibly care. They are trying, and I’m sure it’ll be fun. If I don’t like it, at least the kids of today will be able to enjoy the country bears with the Disney songs as much as we did with the original songs when we were small.

Love your outlook positivity wins.

I don’t think so. I don’t need to hear kiss the girl in frontier land.

They are trying

No they aren’t. It is just lazy and shows a lack of creativity. And their new mantra to recycle Disney film IP over and over rather than doing something original for the parks.

No - the parks are just becoming a plastic corporate IP fest and that’s sad.

Even the voices of Liberty at Epcot sing a Disney song in each set now.

These things aren’t decided in a vacuum. You know that.

Yeah, positivity helps with this. Still stinks accepting that one of your favorites of all time might not be for you anymore.

 

[WorldExplorer]

Disney should consider making "It could be worse" their slogan, it seems to be the response to everything now.

Actually - they are. The Iger vacuum.

Heck even if I don’t like it, making a big stink about it and being angry with it constantly isn’t going to change anything. Bears are gonna sing Disney songs now. Believe me, this was not on the top of my list of things I wanted to happen, and I wish the show could’ve been more original too. But what’s done is done, and moping about isn’t gonna help anyone. I’m just gonna accept my feelings of “aw man” and just move on.

Very true. It’s also something many have to decide about the parks / company in general.

I find the constant negativity draining, and it makes it hard to enjoy the community in general.

Just adds to the many reasons that we don’t do many trips anymore. We have one planned in march 2025. Haven’t gone since 2021. Used to go every year. No intention of going back after next year. And I used to be a pixie duster around here.

I’m just glad these characters will be sticking around for the foreseeable future. This gives them a future. There have been many iterations of the Country Bears before, and this is just one of many. It may not be my favorite way this could have been done (I’d have sprung for more recognizable country songs or more obscure Disney tracks) but it’ll be a hit with families.

YES. I get imagineering is In a tough spot but jeez, not everything is doom and gloom! I’m excited about test track and the nighttime parade, and Indy should be fun! No denying Disney needs VAST improvement on all fronts, but Not everything is awful.
