    DH and Son-in-law dragged us to CBJ (against my wishes---not a fan!). One-year-old granddaughter loved it! One of the bears picked a flower for her out in front of the attraction before we went in. We'd been letting her walk around and telling her NOT to pick the flowers. She was awe-struck.
    First trip: 1992 with sister, last trip 2018 with grandchild, not done yet!

    I think Rivers of Light is one of Disney's biggest mistakes to date. If you ever see it - Look around and observe the children in the crowd - many are bored. There are no Disney characters nor classic Disney music (a MISSED OPPORTUNITY considering all of the Disney movies and songs featuring animals).
    Does every show have to have characters and known Disney songs? Of course not - but it is Disney World - and they usually do a much better job of mixing in the classics and nostalgia with the creative.

    This show feels like an Imagineering Intern's experiment with some water screens and a few boats that uses the same three or four effects over and over. And over again. (Checking my watch - oh look, water screens again. Big finale.... some fire. Can we at least hum along to something? Anything? Please?)

    And regarding the Country Bears - I always expect them to put something Toy Story-related in that small theater. Maybe a version of Woody's Round-Up with marionettes or puppets? (Does anyone remember the excellent Lion King puppet show that was in the Fantasyland Theater before they replaced it with Mickey's Philharmagic?)

    I agree. If there is supposed to be a story line to it, I didn't get it at all.
    I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.

    First time I went to Country Bear Jamboree it scared me... I was 8 and though completely fearless when it came to thrill rides and rollercoasters I was really creeped out by things like stuffed animal heads, to the point that when I was 11 and we came for our second visit I tried to say we should skip it - without success! This is still a running joke for the family whenever we are in Frontier Land.


    Now it is part of our trip which we will always do once. There is a fun nostalgia to it, the crowds are generally low but it takes up very little space at the park as it is just a small theatre. I hope it stays for many years.
