    Default Country Bear Jamboree

    I saw a few people using the avatar from CBJ and I was wondering if people ever go to this anymore? The couple of times I've been only a few people were in there and we were just wanting out of the heat. DD 5 yo was bored to tears. Its a classic, but isn't it time to update or replace this attraction?

    We always go at least once (usually more) each trip. We enjoy the show and it makes a nice break to rest the feet and cool off. It could use some freshening up, since the last time we were there some of the audio was kind of hard to hear, but it is a classic and must-do!

    We go every couple of trips. It is super-cute, and we always enjoy it, but we sometimes run out of time.

    It would be nice to give it a bit of a refresh, but I wouldn't want themt o change too much!

    We go every time, and every time it is near to full. Yes, it is campy and silly. But it is really fun!

    Where else can you get that at WDW?!?!?

    The 35mm type slides are so faded it isn't even funny. Do you know what I'm talking about - when the girl bears are singing? I think this slide show is the same one that was used when the attraction opened.

    Classic attraction that could use some updating, but definitely a keeper

    We saw it for the first time last Nov. Ds5 loved it, dh thought it was boring. I'm glad we saw it I love the original things there. We will only do it next trip if ds wants to.

    Eh.. I've never been a fan of the Country Bears. It's full everytime I've seen it though. I usually get awfully bored during this show though and there is nothing that bores me at WDW other than this and Ellen's Energy.

    It definitely needs updating!

    We skipped it last time. I agree, it should go. We may stop in this time, just to get a break from the heat and see if it's better than I remember.

    I took my DD4 in May while DH and DD8 went on SM & BTMRR. It was packed while we were there. DD4 really enjoyed it, and I hadn't seen it in about 6 years so it was kind of fun for me too.

    I like it even if its considered dated and corny. Its a nice upbeat show. Its really relaxing during those hot days.

    We've done it once in the last 5 or 6 trips, too out dated for us. It could be done up really nice with some new animatronics and 3d imaging.

    We never visited this attraction until a visit about 3x back. We all loved it! It is so over the top campy that I find it extremely entertaining and frankly, it is unlike anything else remaining at WDW.

    We always stop once a trip. It is just simple fun. I think the faded and outdated is part of the attraction. I personally wouldn't want it changed.

    I go at least once every trip some trips more than once. This show is one of my earliest WDW memories from my very first trip. I love the show and it's a great walk down memory lane. I do agree I would love to see the Christmas show back I really miss that

    They have fixed the audio problems and some of the lighting issues so the show looked freat in June

    I couldn't pass up this topic. I see CBJ everytime. This has to do with my earliest memories of visiting WDW in the early years of the park. (Back when there were lines to this and Hall of Presidents) I do think they need a refurb with this attraction. The bears look a little worn and everything else that goes with it. Musically, re- record with fresh voices from today's stars but the songs can remain the same.
