TRANSCRIPT:

Welcome to Attraction Checklist.

This episode we visit Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom to check out the Country Bear Jamboree’s new show the Country Bear Musical Jamboree.

The Walt Disney World website describes this attraction saying: Head over to Frontierland for this newly reimagined show where Henry, Trixie, Big Al and their pals are playin’ some of your favorite Disney songs alongside a heapin’ helpin’ of Southern charm.

There are no age or height requirements for this attraction and, in a possible bit of foreshadowing, there is no Thrill Level listed.

Before we head to Grizzly Hall, here are five fast facts about the Country Bear Musical Jamboree.

1. In September 2023, Disney announced that the Country Bear Jamboree would be retooled into a new show called the Country Bear Musical Jamboree.  The edited original show that had been running closed on January 27, 2024.  The new version of the show opened on July 17, 2024.

2. As part of the redesign for the new show, the lobby area of grizzly hall has been festooned with display cases filled with treasures from the history of the Country Bear Jamboree.  This includes trophies of awards won by the bears, vintage costume pieces and original paw-written lyrics for songs.

3. Veteran singer, songwriter Mac McAnally was tasked with creating country versions of popular Disney songs for the show.  He also provides the voice of Terrance the Shaker in the show as well.

4. The Voice competitor Emily Ann Roberts provides the voice of Trixie and Allison Russell and Chris Thile provide voices for Teddi Barra and Wendell respectively.

5. As part of the revamp, one bear got a name change.  Liver Lips McGrowl is now Romeo McGrowl.  Romeo is now voiced by Robert “Big Sandy” Williams.

With much trepidation, it’s now time to visit the Country Bear Musical Jamboree.  John B. deHaas is along for the journey and after the show we’ll give you our thoughts on this attraction.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphone, put them on now as we visit the Country Bear Musical Jamboree at Magic Kingdom.
