Country Bear Jamboree to be updated with new songs and acts in 2024 at Walt Disney World

At Walt Disney World, the Country Bear Jamboree is getting new songs and the bears will be performing a new act in 2024.

Disney Imagineer Chris Beatty says when the show debuts, the bears will be reinterpreting favorite Disney songs in different genres of country music. Imagineers are envisioning the new experience as a homage to the classic musical revues in Nashville and they’re working with Nashville musicians to get the authentic country sound.

Disney said the Country Bear Jamboree will still have the fun and friendly tone fans enjoy with the same famous characters like the loveable Trixie, Big Al and others.

I would actually like to see Big Thunder Mountain—Presented by Chevrolet and they can play “Like a Rock” on repeat:

I can't stress how disappointed i'll be if "Lester's Possum Park" isn't referenced either in slide show or song. The only cavity is one line that might be misconstrued but it could be tweaked easily enough. Such a great song that pokes fun at Disney in a meta, nostalgic way. Hope it's featured. It's a love letter to Country Bear Jamboree after all.

Don't worry, in a few years I'm sure everything will be called Toy Story Land.
