Country Bear Jamboree
(photos below)
Here's a classic Disney attraction that's still going
strong! The Country Bear Jamboree still pulls the Guests in
for a 15-minute "live" stage show featuring more
Audio-Animatronics bears than you can shake a stick at. You
won't find Pooh here (he's over in Fantasyland with his own
attraction, thank you very much!), but you will find plenty of
big bear action.
The venue is Grizzly Bear Hall, located along the main
thoroughfare and across from Tom
Sawyer Island. The shows load periodically, about every
half hour or so. There's a clock on the front porch which
gives the wait time until the next show.
The bears put on a "backwoods" performance with
plenty of country music--but don't let the musical style put
you off! The theme is geared more toward humor than
"serious" music. It seems that the kids really get a
kick out of the Country Bears--they're always to be found in
the audience laughing, clapping, and having a great
time.
A big appeal to the show is Big Al, who seems to have
something of a "cult" following. Why, he even has
his own store just outside the theater. His rendition of
"Blood on the Saddle" will move you--away from the
seats near the stage! You see, Big Al can neither carry a tune
nor play the guitar, though he attempts to do both for your
pleasure.
Additionally, Teddi Berra, swings from the ceiling for her
solo, much to the delight of the other bears. Bunny, Bubbles,
and Beulah perform a touching little ditty entitled "All
the Guys That Turn Me On Turn Me Down" with a slide show
accompaniment on the screen behind them.
This is a can't miss for any visit to the Magic Kingdom--be
sure to swing by and check out the Country Bears on your next
