Country Bear Jamboree is in the middle of a much-needed refurbishment. When it reopens, some of the bears will look different. Here is what to expect.
Country Bear Jamboree
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.
Despite its long running presence, its refurbishment has been 20 years in the making.
Refurbishment
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. It closed in January 2024.
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.
New Character Looks
In a recent video, Disney shared a first look at the new outfits that will be worn by Bunny, Bubbles, and Beulah. The outfits feature a pink two-piece ensemble with a pink hat.
“I help source all the fabrics and components and rhinestones,” costumer Sara explains. “I also work really closely with the patterning team to figure out how we’re actually going to make the garments come together in 3D, and how they’re going to fit the bears, who are all very uniquely shaped and different sizes.”
