Disney Shares First Look Inside New Country Bear Musical Jamboree

Disney has shared a look inside the new Country Bear Musical Jamboree opening this summer at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

In the video, we go behind-the-seams with Sara Landesberg, an Audio-Animatronic Costumer with Disney Live Entertainment who is helping bring these new show to life. Sara works coordinating the different teams that come together to create a complete garment, hat, or any item that ends up being center stage for the jamboree —including every single rhinestone that is hand-placed across the big-frills costumes.

Bunny, Bubbles, and Beulah — and the rest of the Country Bears —  are getting ready to put on a new show that pays homage to the Opry-style shows of Nashville. While the Country Bear Musical Jamboree will include easter eggs from the beginning to the end including a familiar tune fans may remember, the bears will sing new, reinterpreted Disney tunes in different genres of country music – like bluegrass, pop-country, Americana, rockabilly, and other styles.

    We saw this last week. Really funny new show.

    Always hate when something like this happens. Obviously I know it’s not real but it always feels unsettling to see a character with their head off or something like that.

    Can they not rig up some type of suspenders?

    My friend is at MK and apparently Romeo is still having trouble keeping his head on his shoulders. Nothing as major as the video from the other day, but apparently there was alot of collar adjustments from the helper

    Thanks—I never knew you could check for character appearances in the app, so this is very useful information!

    I just tapped on "Characters" at the top and scrolled over to Grizzly Hall, where a Mickey bubble was and tapping it brought up a list of the four bears. If it's past a certain point in the day, they won't be there. I think they stop meeting around 4pm EST- sorry I didn't see this before then! If you check in the morning they should be there

    Where is this in the app? I searched and couldn’t find it.

    I think it’s crazy the impact the fans have on them for some decisions but not others.

    Charlie The Chatbox Ghost16 days ago

    I have no clue. People would buy it regardless, so why not keep it and sell it?

    Charlie The Chatbox Ghost16 days ago

    Their new costumes don’t match the show designs anyways, so the art for those three is close enough. They didn’t even bother changing Shakers fur color. He’s still brown even though he’s only ever been gray or yellow, lmao.

    Not sure if it's been shared yet but here's Romeo's autograph

    I don’t why but this post is taking me out. Seriously they are removing the coin because it displays a dead attraction at DL ?

    EagleScout61017 days ago

    It doesn't look like any of the other bears have their profiles updated to fit the new show/designs.

    I definitely think if they were to do it the show should be adjoining or part of HB to justify the name change. I also think Pooh should be Rescuers themed but that's for another discussion.
