News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

I'm going to hope that you've got a friend in me is with Sammy !

I like that idea!

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.

I agree that there is too much negativity online. I went to WDW for the first time in 10 years in January and had a great time, I found the parks to be in much better shape than the doom prophesizing here had me thinking.

But at the same time, it's also true that pretty much every change they have made to the parks the past couple years have been worse than what was there before. In some cases even destroying classic attractions.

Two things can be true. WDW still has magic, but its new attractions are hit and miss

Overall, it’s not perfect, but it’s not doom and gloom totally yet at wdw.

And on the topic of blood on the saddle, I just found something incredibly disturbing with the song in it.

What the???

 

[Castle Cake Apologist]

What's with the wildly sloppy paint job on Teddi's feet? Eef.

For comparison from before:

Tommrow. Here it comes. Will we get our first bootleg video?

 

[Ice Gator]

So Blood on the Saddle is actually getting replaced with Bare Necessities? Oof.

Of all the songs I figured they’d keep arguably the most iconic bit (and the one that gets the most laughs).

I don't know, I think that design is kind of amusingly over-the-top in the spirit of Dolly Parton's old adage "it costs a lot of money to look this cheap." One of the things I like about the new character designs is that they seem to have understood that the original designs worked because they were humorous. I could see Trixie eliciting a bit of a chuckle just by appearing!

I think someone gen Z imagineer heard 'country' and thought that meant Nashville... and didn't even know what Appalachia was..

Thank you, I have nightmares now.

The chance is like 0.00000000000000000000001%……..but……….maybe Big Al interrupts the end of the show with a blurb of Blood on the Saddle like the old version?



Yes, I know it’s not happening, but I can dream lol

When the Blood on the Saddle rumor first began circulating, I always assumed that it would be played off as a joke and would be the reprise version when Big Al interrupts Henry when he’s singing with Sammy. He could do Bear Necessities or whatever IP mandate they have him singing, and then he pipes in later with a section of Blood on the Saddle and then Henry scolds him for not sticking to the setlist

I wonder if Romeo doing rockabilly in this show is the closest to him doing his old Elvis impersonations without him actually being Elvis.

Just released, a track from the new Country Bears...

The Country Bears Yacht Rock Jamboree

 

[Dear Prudence]

Honestly, the new costumes look so good and are freaking ADORABLE.

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

Should all future Disney movies only use existing Disney songs?

 

[Disney Analyst]

Should all future Disney movies only use existing Disney songs?

This question is just silly.

 

[lazyboy97o]

This question is just silly.

And yet it’s not silly when it comes to theme parks.

While I agree that there should be original music throughout the parks, I think the situation of the Country Bears is a bit different in that much of the draw was the bears performing familiar, pre-existing songs in a humorous medley. It's not in the same vein as removing A Pirate's Life for Me or Grim Grinning Ghosts; it's actually more akin to swapping Rock 'n' Roller Coaster to something else.
