Get ready to mark your calendars, Disney fans! The delightful Hungry Bear Restaurant at Disneyland’s Critter Country, known for its breathtaking waterfront views and family-friendly atmosphere, is about to receive an exciting transformation. Renamed the Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree, this dining spot will unveil its fresh new look and mouth-watering menu on October 25, 2024.

The Hungry Bear Restaurant closed its doors on July 8 for what was initially described as a “kitchen refurbishment,” but the suspense was worth the excitement. Disneyland has now confirmed that the venue will adopt a charming Country Bears theme. The restaurant will feature music from various show iterations and hark back to the beloved Country Bear Musical Jamboree at Magic Kingdom, which has enjoyed a revival this summer.

And if you’re a foodie with a penchant for themed cuisine, you’re in for a treat. The revamped menu promises a selection of dishes inspired by the Country Bears’ culinary discoveries on their nationwide tour. This promises to bring not just great food but also a hefty dose of nostalgia and fun to your dining experience.

The transformation is part of a broader rebranding of Critter Country into Bayou Country, which will coincide with the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure on November 15. While Disneyland may no longer feature a living, breathing Country Bears attraction, fans can find solace in the recent addition of a Big Al statue at Disney California Adventure.
