Disney has announced this week that the Country Bear Jamboree will be closing on January 27th of this year, with a promise of re-opening as the Country Bear Musical Jamboree "later this summer". We talk about Disney's news and the new upcoming show. And then we talk about why we love the Country Bears and their significance to the park and to the original heritage of Walt Disney World. Disney has also hinted and suggested that more announcements of things to come to Magic Kingdom are on their way. And by the way, did you know that most people would rather be an animatronic bear? We'll share more in this podcast, so join us as we celebrate the Country Bear Jamboree. My new book, "A Century of Powerful Disney Insights" is available! Now available on Amazon!
