The doors of Grizzly Hall at Magic Kingdom are now closed as the Country Bear Jamboree begins its transformation into the Country Bear Musical Jamboree.

There are no construction walls, just a sign letting guests know of the closure - "Bear With Us We're Rehearsing A Brand New Show"

A temporary stage is currently in front of Grizzly Hall, which will be used for the upcoming Cast Member service celebration.

Looking ahead to the new show, which opens in the summer of 2024, Disney says, "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."

Still not working, and Romeo’s heart lights weren’t either. But I’m still thrilled I got to see it, and I just can’t wait until I can see it again! It’s even better in person.

Fingers crossed! I’ll try to find some time to redo it.

I’m currently at the park, Ernest’s smoke effect was broken this morning. Anyone know if it’s working again?

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.

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 Ghost28 days ago

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

Charlie The Chatbox Ghost28 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
