How hot was it? I'll tell you.

When I was 38, my aunt suggested I see this show in Disneyland. I declined thinking it would be lame. When I was 42 we went (4, 2 and 2 year olds plus DH and myself) to this show at WDW. The kids absolutely loved the show as did DH and I and I kicked myself for not having gone when my aunt suggested it.

I think I would have thought this was lame if I went between the years of 13 and 24 with or without my own children. I think I would have thought this was lame if I went between the ages of 20 and 24 (even with my own children) if I wasn't an adoring parent. For adults that have no children I think this is a hit and miss attraction...you could be totally tickled or totally turned off, accent on the totally turned off, especially if you are not into children and/or funny bears (resembling types of people/entertainers we all know) singing funny and entertaining songs.

YOU PROBABLY HAVE TO BE YOUNGER THAN 12...or A PARENT OLDER THAN 24 WITH CHILDREN to properly appreciate this attraction.

Sheesh. Now let's hear from all those of you who don't fit this demographic!

I'm 22 without children and I LOVE it! The first time I saw it though, I was 3 and loved it then too

I have seen it both in California and Florida and I like both shows because they were totally different. The one in California was more California songs like california girls but instead of girls they said bears. I like the one in Florida the best. I like both the one in the summer and the one at christmas.
I have seen them on many occasions and it is still fresh to me.

I like the TIKI birds as well. I mostly like the TIKI God and her giving it to ZAZU.

I guess the next thing will be COP?

I think it's pretty lame, but instead of using it to get out of the heat, we used it last summer to get out of an evening thunderstorm! By the time, the storm was over, we made our way to the castle to get a great spot for Wishes, since the crowds (that weren't at the Country Bears ) cleared out. I wouldn't make a special point of going to see it, but it served our purpose!

I really do like it. Its absurd and cheesy, but oh-so-much fun, especially when people in the theater start clapping and singing along. "Blooooooooooooood on the saddle"

Ok, I do NOT love the Country Bear Jamboree, but will be in the WORLD during Christmas season this year and am wondering should I give the Christmas Country Bear Jamboree a chance?

Is it much different?

The first time I heard of the Country Bears Jamboree I was a child watching "The Magical World of Disney" and Walt was telling us about these wonderful new animatronic shows. I was sitting with my grandma at her home in PA. We always watched Disney on Sunday nites on her small black and white TV. Usually she in her recliner and I on the stool next to her. I was enthralled and wanted to go so badly- but I knew we could never afford it and California was so far away. When I was 16 I got my wish. I made my first visit to Disneyland and saw the actual show. I wished my grandmother was still alive to tell her about it. Now, as a grandmother I took my three year old grandson for his first visit and he fell in love with the talking bears. Sooo.....for me it means a lot.

Not to be picky but I think the song Liverlips is singing is "Blood on the sand"

?????

Anyone know for sure?

BTW ~ I love it and so do my kids (DS8 & DD6)

The song is Blood on the Saddle...an old cowboy classic by Tex Ritter. "Blood on the ground (or sand)" is part of the lyrics though.

I love the bears. My DH and I never miss it. Of course I like the Tiki Room too.

I can't believe anybody would not like the Bears. i just got back from DW and have not been there in over 23 years and it was great charge to see them with my 9 year old. I hope they never get rid of them it is a great tradition just like Small World and Pirates.
