Is there really credibility to the rumor of Grizzly River Run getting Country Bear additions?

That rumor seems very far-fetched. Rapids aren't the best way to watch a bear singing a song, or really doing anything, since you're spinning around the whole time. Plus the animatronics would be outdoors. I doubt this very much.

I feel if it happens it'd be more "flavoring" and a title change versus the addition of an AA.
Like, you'd hear Henry or Big Al over a speaker with songs as you go on the ride. I don't think they'd be doing AAs in a

setting, and enclosing it would just increase the budget for what would just be window dressing.

Could they do static/limited motion figures? They seem to like those (judging by how many were included on TBA).

Possible? But they're bears, they'd have to be hairy, and hair, especially faux hair, wouldn't do well in an outside and wet environment getting constantly soaked.
They COULD put the bears in the slower parts of the ride around the beginning and end, especially in that barn (?) area, especially when your about to be going uphill.

Either that or they could build enclosed areas for the animatronics. They could put some inside the cave and cover the rest under rustic-looking canopies. Or they could maybe only include Henry at the very beginning inside of the mill house on the lifthill acting as an announcer for our ‘race’ down the river and add Big Al in the cave, but keep everything else just to flavorings and some comical set dressings

It would make more operational sense, to me, to have AAs in the queue (ala Midway Mania) than in the ride, if they were to bring the bears to the DCA water ride.

Sure, and games like Kingdom Hearts are 40-80 hours vs. 2 for a movie. So more time and more money, but still a smaller group of people who will know who characters like Sora or Riku are.
Yes, but they can just make rides with those characters, they don't need KH to do it.
End of the day, as long as it was a good ride I don't think anyone would complain but it is a pretty small group overall when compared to other options they have.

It's a very, very old rumor that's been bouncing around the internet for at least 2 decades.
It's an old enough rumor that dropping that Big Al figure into the DVC Kiosk feels like a deliberate troll by somebody aware of it.

It’s getting books, posters, etc. signed. There are lots of unofficial signings as well at various merchandise booths.
Imagineers, Animators, Actors, Artists, Singers - you name it - they are there signing away!
Example - My first D23 I got a photo of the tower of terror signed by the voice actor who performs the voice of Rod on the ride.

Apparently there’s been a massive leak of information from Disney’s internal Slack. A lot of information is going to be out there soon.

Hopefully this doesn't screw up any planned announcements.

Given how exuberant some people already are about what’s expected to be announced, the commercials all tell us to call a physician if those symptoms last any longer than that.

Yeah, hopefully nothing leaks but 1TB of info is a massive amount.

Consistent runtime with every other year. It’s plenty of time to go harder like 2017 or announce next to nothing.

WDI was found in the files. We’re getting leaks.
I don’t think anyone is gonna put them on here, but I think that it should be a general rule that we shouldn’t put the leaks on here for those who wanna stay surprised

That’s upsetting. I’m sure people work very hard on these projects and presentations. What’s the point of people who are presumably fans ruining the impact for both audience and presenters?

Hack was done by NullBulge. They’re an activist hacking group, they did it because Disney is robbing creators of their royalties.
