Napping during Country Bear Jamboree multiple times in a row?

I don't think you can sit through ANY show multiple times. I think any show that's in a theater has to be cleared out in between. The waiting rooms you could, though. Both the waiting areas at Country Bears and HOP are air conditioned, but the one at HOP is larger. I believe, however, that all the benches at HOP are in the middle. In other words, no back on them so you couldn't lean against the wall like you could while sitting on a bench at Country Bears.

When we were in WDW during Christmas Week last year, my Dad said he wanted to stay open to close, as long as I let him snooze in a comfy show at one point. We went to American Adventure and he slept through 2 showings of it. We sat near the back in a quiet corner (nearer the exit) and they had no problems letting us stay through the 2nd showing. By the 2nd show, my kids got more interested and I got to teach them some history

I'm surprised they clear everyone out after a showing. The last few times I saw the show there were only a handful of people in the theater. Does it regularly fill to capacity?

My favorite CBJ experience: I was never a huge fan of the attraction, but I used to see it because I wanted to "do it all" on each trip. During one performance, there was a guy in the audience who must have thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen. He was laughing his butt off throughout the show and it was so great hearing someone enjoy himself so much. His laughter was the best part of the show.

Never tried Country Bears for a nap. The seats are uncomfortable. Last time we had a "napper" it happened unplanned in Carousal of Progress. Fiance begged to go on it so I said fine. Next thing I know him and our buddy are sound asleep. Even worse though was the family that took it upon themselves to laugh at the guys. I was a little pissed that people go so upset over it. We were in the back row and everything and it just kind of happened after a busy morning and suddenly being in a dark cold seated attraction.

Were they laughing because they were upset or were they laughing because it was funny that they just fell asleep? The only time I get upset if someone is sleeping is if they are snoring or they are sleeping during a live show where the performers can see them. I do tend to smile or laugh though when I see someone, mainly because I think of my mom.

My mom has always been the type that can fall asleep at the drop of a hat, especially in dark theaters. I wake her if she is snoring. She has even fallen asleep during a concert. Since we were not near where the performer could see her and she was not snoring that time, I let you sleep for a few songs.

They weren't snoring or anything (if they snore I wake them up). It just bothers me when people laugh because why would you laugh at anyone when they aren't trying to be funny? I get you have a connection to it and imagine if you did laugh I wouldn't even notice because it would probably be a quick chuckle to yourself. This family was nudging each other and pointing and stuff. Made me feel very judged that it happened is all.
