Here's another preview of Emily Ann Roberts singing Try Everything.


Her vocal is lovely, but the modern synthesized instrumentation is totally wrong for what's supposed to be a live band using acoustic instruments at a jamboree. Why even bother with the bears at this point? I'm surprised Disney didn't just go straight to a video screen and get rid of the animatronics altogether, like the latter-day Chuck E. Cheese locations.

I still find it very amusing that through all of the rethemes and compl replacement of original things with IP, it’s the country bears of all things that manage to hang on through the chapek and iger years. Not that I’m complaing tho. From 2019-2023 I legit thought the bears would eventually be goners. (This has nothing to do with that ”he who must not be named“ stuff tho

I’m sorry, but you missed that you’re not allowed to criticize this arrangement. You must first assume that this is actually for something completely different based on absolutely nothing presented.

My husband is not a Disney Parks guy, but he laughs anytime he tells people about Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree (which he calls Larry the Cable Tractor), I think his favorite part is Larry trying to do safety announcements in heavily (hick) accented Spanish. It’s a ridiculous concept.
Yes! My older son found the spanish safety spiel from Mater side-splittingly hilarious. It sounds like Mater is literally trying to read it off of a note card. Just mentioning it cracks him up to this day.

Shame we don't know if Melvin, Max, and Buff will be singing backup or if they have a song..But, I'm sure they will be the Statler and Waldorf of the show..

Yes, that will most likely be an issue for all the songs. My only complaint about the updated Hall of Presidents is the sound is off for the speaking presidents - yes you can hear them better, but the sound should be coming from the AA’s not the speakers. It’s difficult to do, but that’s what I expect from Disney and top notch audio designers.

What made CBJ's sound interesting was that if you sat on the front row right in front of Henry during the finale, you'd clearly just hear Henry's isolated vocal track from the rest of the bears. Wonder if any sound changes will change that.

Anyone think the little raccoon guy in Henry's hat will stick around? He's got a new outfit so I'm not sure if they plan on bringing back that character or not.
There are three Henry animatronics, the one from the intro, the one with the guitar who plays to the left of the main stage, and the one on the far right who comes out with Sammy in his hat. In the concept art, we’ve seen both intro Henry and guitar Henry, and both have different outfits. So maybe he ‘changes’ backstage between acts. For finale Henry, maybe he ‘changes’ into something more like his original outfit because Sammy only really works with the top hat. I doubt they’d get rid of Sammy, as he’s iconic in his own right and they need him if in fact Davy Crockett is staying

All in time for Disneyland's 69th anniversary...

UNM was very unpopular, while the original Tiki Room was still very popular over at Disneyland. Seemed like a decently easy and cheapish solution to change it back again. Especially since they never bothered to restore the old fountain sadly...

Maybe someday the original CBJ will come back too if this new show flops or has a small fire of its own. Not likely, but you never know.

Wouldn't mind a few of the screens for Nigel Channing exploding too (after hours).

If the new tech really allows them to change the show programming on a dime, there is no reason this shouldn't happen. At the very least, a Christmas show should happen again. But the original needs to come back at some point.
