Which Country Bears songs in the current show?

[olive]

When I was younger (80s) and we went to Disney, the Country Bears songs were California Bears, Singing in the Rain, Rocky Top, On the Road Again and a bunch of other songs I can't quite recall. We went to the show on a more recent trip (2015 ish), and it was a whole lot of songs we didn't recognize. Does anyone know which version is currently in rotation? We are hoping for a dose of nostalgia.

Thanks!

When I first saw the Country Bears in Disneyland it was the '70's.

I remember the "Country Bear Vacation Hoedown", too.

They don't rotate versions. The current show is a shortened version of the original. For me that's just the dose of nostalgia I need when I go to The World. I understand where you're coming from.

So it's a shortened version of the vacation hoedown that we know from our 70s and 80s childhoods? If so, that sounds perfect.

No. It's a shortened of the original 1970's "Jamboree" version. The same one you saw in 2015. The "Vacation Hoedown" from the '80's was replaced in '92.

How many drinks does it take to make this entertaining? I don’t drink so I just wondered what would make this show tolerable?

The 80s version was tolerable and even enjoyable for me and my family because of the nostalgia factor. The other version was or is...not so much. If the kids want to do it, we will go! But I remember us being sort of surprised by how much we didn't enjoy it, maybe because it wasn't what we were expecting?

We go late when we’re overtired after running the parks. Can’t stop laughing the whole time.

It’s a great “sit down in the A/C” stop if nothing else.

I usually haven't had anything (because MK, so no alcohol outside of TS restaurants) and I love it.
