For me all the song felt like the fit, but I would have maybe picked A Guy like You over Fixer Upper.

I'm hearing he's retiring tomorrow. He's out today, so I guess we'll have to see tomorrow

That’s a shame. Why didn’t they update him? They could’ve just gave him the outfit he has in the show!

I think these animatronics feel more alive to me than the TBA ones. Marc Davis design magic I suppose.

It was really well received at the D23 event; I thought it was cute, and I wasn't a fan of the song previously; the slide show was fun with Trixie.

I actually think the slide show is great. Keeps in synch with both the song content and the presentation of the show.

It's interesting though that there seem to be two camps of people regarding the new show. The people who like the new show and think it's a tasteful revamp, and the group who thinks it's another IP singalong.
I'm in the fun revamp crowd. While I miss having the Sun Bonnets having their own number (which I blame the show's short run time), I do like the renditions of the songs that are there. I like how they made Kiss The Girl into an Elvis-sounding bit for Romeo (with him even sounding like his old Elvis impression). While I never really cared for Fixer-Upper in Frozen, I think it works as a fast, country song like it does her. But while Blood On The Saddle is gone, Vacation Hoedown didn't have it either, so I wasn't expecting it to return anyways. (Though it being used as the second reprise would have been funny)

Allegedly, it's because Tokyo has refused to update to MK's version, and Disney wants the names of the characters the same for M&Gs worldwide for "character integrity". First time I've heard that phrase come out of modern management in a long time... And they should have been caring about it a long time ago, long before this.
So I guess Disney is trying to shift the blame onto OLC?

“It’s OLC’s fault” is a hilarious excuse.

rip Romeo meet and greet. What a shame. Hope they can make another costume to pick up his slack, but I doubt it. Henry maybe? Trixie?
Also is Tokyo getting kinda angry at American disney with all the retheme attempts on them, or am I looking too deep into it?

Well, if it's their last set with the original costumes then they're missing it due to rain. No final sets end well for Country Bears, apparently.
(At least Wendell is the only one I missed. Then again, of the four he's probably my favorite...)

I made this table for the Wikipedia page last night, the only voice we know outside of the ones announced by Disney themselves is Romeo, who's voiced by Robert "Big Sandy" Williams.
If I made any mistakes on these by the way, let me know!

At WDW.NT (I work there), it was because of a copyright claim. It was later revealed by Drew the Disney Dude that there will indeed be music streaming starting tomorrow, no confirmation on if it'll be more than Try Everything though.

Say what you want about Tiana’s bayou adventure, but man does that attraction have a diverse voice acting range!

Oh wow, the more you know ig (for both answers.)
My friend is at MK and the Bears have gone backstage due to the rain. The CM says Shaker, Big Al and Wendell will be back if it stops. Romeo is retired.

were lucky that any of them are still appearing at all as walk around characters...

Wait, is Shaker getting a new costume? Why would they redo him and not Romeo too? It’s not even like it’s a big change, just new clothes and a blonde wig. Are the CMs/park app calling him Romeo or still calling him Liver Lips?
It’s a shame to lose him, especially since he’s been around since the 70s and his new design for CBMJ is one of the best.
