These lovable bears are the stars of the Disney Parks animatronic show The Country Bear Jamboree. The show is naturally located in Frontierland. The bears play instruments like washboards and jugs as they entertain guests with songs in a saloon style setting.

This attraction was once enjoyed by guests at Disneyland, but it closed in September 2001 to make room for the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh attraction. The Country Bear Jamboree was an opening day attraction for the Magic Kingdom and has delighted guests since 1971.

This show has been in need of some love for quite a while. Back in September, Disney announced that Country Bear Jamboree will close to bring a brand new look and vibe for this attraction.

The most obvious change will come to the name of this attraction. When it reopens it will be called the Country Bear Musical Jamboree in 2024. One of the most famous “performers” will also receive a new name change.

New images, Disney inspired musical numbers, as well as adding some “love into the attraction and characters” will bring new life to this attraction. Former Imagineer Ethan Reed shared that the plan to bring some new elements to this show began 20 years ago!

Closing Date

The closing date is coming up very quickly, and there is not a lot of time to prepare your touring strategy. Disney just confirmed today that the show will close on January 27, 2024 to make improvements. If you are looking for another show to enjoy in the Magic Kingdom, we suggest Carousel of Progress, Hall of Presidents, or Enchanted Tiki Room.

Fortunately, the closure won’t be too long. It is due to reopen sometime this summer. We can’t wait to see the new show!

Are you excited for this change? Or, do you wish Disney would keep it the same? Let us know in the comments below, and share this post with a friend.
