The beloved Country Bear Jamboree has been given a fresh twist, and today marks the grand opening of the reimagined Country Bear Musical Jamboree at Magic Kingdom! First debuted over 50 years ago with influence from Walt Disney himself, this classic attraction now boasts a Nashville flair with delightful Disney tunes.
Guests stepping into Grizzly Hall can expect a high-spirited show filled with twangy renditions of Disney favorites. From “Try Everything” from Zootopia to “Kiss the Girl” from The Little Mermaid, the bears deliver a diverse mix of country music genres, including Americana, bluegrass, pop-country, and rockabilly. The standout performances also include “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story, offering a unique country spin.
Henry, the beloved master of ceremonies, continues the legacy of his grandfather Ursus H. Bear, who founded Grizzly Hall. Along with The Five Bear Rugs and other adored characters like Trixie and Teddi Barra, Henry leads the show with new acts, costumes, and infectious energy. Trixie now joins Bunny, Bubbles, and Beulah for a rendition of “Try Everything,” while Teddi Barra and Wendell harmonize to “A Whole New World” from Aladdin.
Bringing authenticity to the new setlist, Walt Disney Imagineering collaborated with country music talents such as Mac McAnally, Emily Ann Roberts, Allison Russel, and Chris Thile. This collaboration ensures that the new show remains true to its roots while embracing a modern twist.
Located in Frontierland, the Country Bear Musical Jamboree is a daily delight from park opening to closing. While it’s not available for Early Theme Park Entry, it is included in the Extended Evening Hours for guests staying at Walt Disney World Deluxe Resort hotels.
