"So clap your hands, and stomp your feet and try to keep right with us. One sure thing the bear band's got is good old country rhythm."
As you enter Grizzly Hall, get ready for close to 16 minutes of good ol' country music! You'll be entertained by 18 bears, a raccoon, a buffalo, a stag and a moose the likes of which you may never see again. Big Al, Zed, Ted, Henry, Liverlips McGrowl, Teddi Beara, Trixie and Bubbles, Bunny and Beulah will entertain you with songs like:
In November 1984, a Country Bear Christmas Special show was introduced with new costumes, sets and decorations. In May 1986, the Country Bear Vacation Hoedown replaced the Country Bear Jamboree, but fewer than six years later, in February '92, the original show returned. Now, the Christmas Special runs around the winter holidays every year, with the original show running the remainder of the year.
The Country Bear Jamboree is a fun show with lots of laughs that plays to audiences of all ages. This is a great attraction to see when you want to get out of the sun and off your feet for a spell. The line for the Bears will wind its way along the front of Grizzly Hall. Once inside the turnstiles, you're in the preshow area. Your wait time here is approximately 10 minutes until the next show. Country Bear fans should be sure to catch the Christmas Special, which plays annually from approximately Thanksgiving until right after the New Year. The Country Bears can be found roaming the park in both Frontierland and Main Street, and sometimes cruise on the Liberty Belle Riverboat, too. Be on the lookout for the unadvertised Frontierland Hoedown when the bears come out to dance with the guests. Magic
Kingdom Characters at a Glance
Magic
Kingdom Restaurants at a Glance Next to the Country Bear Jamboree is Big Al's, a log house featuring Disney merchandise, hats, souvenirs and various sundries. There isn't much in the way of Country Bear souvenirs. There have been a few trading pins featuring the show, and some assorted postcards, but not much else. Your hosts for the Country Bear Jamboree are none other than Melvin, Buff and Max. Unfortunately, all you can see of them are their heads! There was a time, way back when, that as you exited the attraction, these three characters were on the other side talking to you.
Thurl Ravenscroft provided the voice for Buff the Buffalo and Tex Ritter that of Big Al. The Country Bears movie was released by Disney in 2002, based loosely on the characters found in this attraction. |
