News Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and acts

[Starship824]

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!

They have been trying to erase every trace of SOTS and that song from the parks. Hell will have to freeze over for that to happen.

Yeah, was about to type this exact thing. It’s a shame, that is such a great song that’s core to Disney’s identity at least in my head.

Retheming Splash Mountain and then adding a song from SoTS into anything new screams PR disaster ngl.

Has there been a confirmed date for the attraction's reopening?

Not yet

Removing Splash Mountain in the first place also caused a PR storm. If it was left alone and Disney didn’t acknowledge anything nothing would’ve happened. Just look up how badly the Harry Potter video game “controversy” turned out for Warner Bros. last year

What a world we live in when important decisions are made with the press in mind instead of your customers.

Not to say that the press is right or wrong, but that I think an overwhelmingly large amount of Disney's guests like the song. Who cares about them though, as long as they book their next vacation anyway? Sad times.

 

[BrianLo]

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

You are right.

Definitely Winnie the Pooh and Merida’s mom will be the co-hosts then!

 

[Animaniac93-98]

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

This would be a no brainer inclusion, which is probably why they won't have it.

 

[Coaster Lover]

I feel like AI generated voices of dead people is more or less ready to go and Disney seems to be happy to use the tech at will... wouldn't shock me to see them use an AI generated Walt voice as an introduction to some classic attractions and this would be as good as any an attraction to try it out on to see how people respond. Not a full out hosting role, just a brief three or four sentence introduction to the attraction...

A more sensible thought than my one other day, is it possible they keep the ending from the original show, starting with Henry singing Davy Crockett with Big Al's cameo remaining as is, with Blood on the Saddle, even if his song in the new show is different?

I could see them replacing Davy Crockett with You’ve got a Friend in Me or Woody’s Roundup. Way more relevant and honestly not that bad of a choice.

I could see them keeping Blood on the Saddle or the song from the trio just as fan service. Less so with "Mama, don't whoop little Buford".

I feel like we have all had Toy Story shoved down out throats enough... I would be thrilled to not have to listen to any more of those songs in the Country Bear Jamboree....

Ugh, the most overplayed song in the parks. Relevant, yes, but annoying to be so overused.

 

[ddisneyd]

Do we think we’ll get a date for this at the April 3rd shareholders meeting?

 

[EagleScout610]

No, it is something new.

I don't think hell will have to freeze over, but Bob Iger and his goon squad will certainly have to be gone, which isn't happening before this update opens.

No More You got a friend in me. That song is already in too many attractions and venues.

You can hear it at Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin(Instumental)
Toy Story Land(Instrumental)
On Slinky Dog Dash(sung by an Animatronic and on a giant music book)
In Toy Story Mania(Instrumental)

Other random venues and areas too long to mention.

 

[kevlightyear]

They remain, but with improvements.

No, it is something new.

Any new animatronics planned to supplement the improved existing ones?
