I realize this is silly - but for those saying “what’s the big deal about Disney songs in a Disney park!” - would you expect Disney songs in Hall of Presidents or American Adventure?

The parks were not designed to be one giant Disney IP fest - they were designed with a good mix of various styles.

The country bears were never about Disney songs, they were about old fashioned country songs and classic vaudeville comedy.

So it does change the point of the attraction- but I’m glad it’s as good as it could be given the circumstances.

Another thought - with the Disney songs, you now have basically two of the same attraction in MK between this and Philarmagic, and even one song shared between them, plus two of the same IPs (Coco and Mermaid), albeit with different songs. (and there's also the Mermaid ride, which again shares songs).

I wonder if Philharmagic’s time is running short. It is kinda redundant with this CBJ existing and attractions based on nearly every IP featured in it. I feel like the 3D show would be fairly easy to replace.
Heck, maybe just replace the movies with ones that aren’t featured in other places in the park (Tangled, Encanto, etc.)

It was never going to be perfect or for many hold up to the OG, but it is a great show for where we are in 2024 and had more laughs than the original from what I can tell. I strongly dislike "Try Everything" as it is very much out of place. Some of the transitions could be faster and another 40 seconds of some songs extending would be good. Should have kept one more OG song. Little too much use of the wall mounts but I'm glad they are back in the show. Show looks good and my son, who has always been freaked out by the animatronics, might not have to be dragged in to see it with their refurbishment.

Overall. 8.9

@Moth is Grizzly River Rapids what you were referring to?

Oh didn't realize they were an insider. I don't spend a lot of time on the WDW side of the forum. That makes my response to @Moth below kind of funny...

That’s what I was thinking. Something like a Big Al being added to GRR. Or maybe a few of the Country Bears And they rebrand the whole ride. I’m guessing they put that Big Al statue out there to gauge interest. While I’m not crazy about the new iteration of the bears I’m all for it if it saves Grizzly Peak and the Grand Californian from being rethemed (or demo’d) by/ for whatever IP non sense they can imagine there. And aside from that we could do a whole lot worse than a (still kinda) charming AA show paying homage to Disneylands past.

I don't like being called an "insider", sounds yucky.

It's more like "rumor mill reporter", getting stuff from a variety of sources and telling yall that stuff.

Lol, that's fair. It is a kind of overused and vague term at this point. At least the way it’s used here. Im assuming by rumor mill you mean credible sources and not anonymous people on the internet.

Nod nod. I've known these people for years, they've gotten stuff right, stuff wrong, sometimes I get new sources that get stuff right and listen to them... I usually filter out the ones that get stuff consistently wrong though.
