Thanks, that makes a ton of sense about the why now.

This makes me think a Pecos retheme could be announced a D23- only reason they announced DL’s was to disrupt the union strike. WDW’s would be saved for D23 if they were going to do it.

Through the Decades with Everyone’s Favorite Bears - Disney Parks Blog
The Country Bears have been entertaining audiences since their debut over 50 years ago at Walt Disney World Resort in 1971. That’s a “bear-y” long time! But did you know that the Country Bear Jamboree was first dreamed up in the mid-1960s? The bear band has since performed a myriad of different...

Are they teasing a return of Vacation Hoedown???

True and yet I wonder if any corporation can avoid this when they become this large and successful.
The first time this issue became crystal clear to me was when they rethemed the Snow Whites Scary Adventures facade at Disneyland from being more realistic to a brighter and cheerier facade. In other words, trying to match what they think peoples expectations of what Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disneyland and Disney mean to people in 2021. Where at first it was a Snow White ride housed behind a time period/ setting appropriate facade, now even the facade had been Disneyfied. I mean, they turned the dungeon in the queue into a bedroom. Lol.
I think part of what makes Disneyland so great for me is the magic that is hiding in plain sight. You walk into an ordinary looking building and go on the Pirate adventure of a lifetime on POTC. Or how on Splash Mountain you're queued up in a plain old barn somewhere in the country until you go down the first drop and are suddenly in a fantasy world of singing critters. It's kind of like the Narnia Wardrobe effect.

That’s a really interesting point - I think many attractions build up the experience too much before getting into the ride vehicle. The mermaid ride feels like such a let down at WDW but seems appropriate at DL - but it’s not built up as much.
Certainly the lines can help tell a story - jungle cruise is a great example - but don’t make the pre-show better than the show! Haha

After thinking about it, I think Remember Me does fit Big Al. In the Christmas and Vacation shows, Al always lamented about his wife running off with his things like his truck, his dog, and his swiss army knife. Maybe singing Remember Me makes Al still get upset with his wife running off with his stuff?
They're really going all in on this #Horizons stuff. It's like WDW's own DisneylandForward. Guess "Turbocharged" wasn't doing it.

D23 Prediction: The Bears will be used to create ridiculous hype over converting Pecos into MK's BBQ installation. The Bears may or may not be included in the final product, but TDO will want to pump up that MK is getting BBQ.

Assuming this is anything more than nostalgia bait- if they were to start cycling shows again, would they bring back old ones or make new versions? I feel like it'd be weird to have "new" Vacation/Christmas shows, but it also makes sense in a way.
If they did a new Vacation show- what songs do you think they'd do? I feel like "Take Me Home, Country Roads" would be an easy answer, and if they needed IP, "Life is a Highway" would probably work. "Thank God I'm a Country Bear" would still work really well as a finale, especially if they give each bear a solo line like they did in the original. I wish the new show's finale did that.

"Country Roads", "Life is a Highway" and "Devil Went Down to Georgia" would be solid.

Devil Went Down to Georgia would especially work really well with the new effects added to Ernest's AA!

Well, new ones would make sense, with A.J. replacing Peter as Henry. I said it earlier, that with Pete as old as he is, maybe they want Henry's voice to be consistent between Musical Jamboree and any other new shows they put out in case Pete passes away before they make another one. (Makes me wonder though if they get Emily Ann Roberts back to voice Trixie for any other later shows)

Yeah, consistency would be nice for the bears. It’d be really sad to see Pete’s voice be retired but like you said, if he were to pass away they’d have to use AJ anyways. Maybe they can get Pete in to record a safety line or something that can be used forever.

Would love to see the older shows come back even just for limited time like the do with the OG Soarin.
Any word on when the new Romeo McGrowl costume character will be revealed. I know CMs were saying soon but is there an eta?

The OG show would be great for park anniversaries, although I'm sure it'd be edited. Either the 2012 version, or a different version- perhaps the entire original show, just sans "Little Buford" since they really seem to think that's the problem. Maybe we could get the full original show for an after-hours event like Throwback Night?

Did we hear anything about Little Buford other than speculation on this board?
