Country Bears Jamboree

I love the Country Bears Jamboree! This is by far one of favorite things to do at Magic Kingdom. The first time I went to the Country Bears in 2000 I thought it was the funniest thing I ever saw. Before the show you are directed into a waiting area where you can see painting of the Country Bears and a kid favorite, the coin presser. Kids of all ages gather around the little machine and watch as they get penny souvenirs. When the doors open to the show you are directed to the bleacher seats in the Country Bears theater. The lights dim and the show begins when Henry comes onto stage and introduces the program. One of my favorite parts of the show are the three spectators on the wall and how they interrupt to make comments and jokes (especially when Trixie comes out).

It is also great to see all the little kids singing along, clapping and stomping their feet to the music. Disney has it posted on their site that the Country Bears Jamboree will be closed September 28, 2008 until October 31, 2008 for refurbishment.
