The Incredible Final Day & Night Of Country Bear Jamboree - WILD Last Closing Shows / Saying Goodbye

Goodbye To Original Country Bear Jamboree

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram- AdamTheWooATW I cannot express enough how amazing the last few shows and hours was. The cast members should all be praised and commended for going above and beyond. The closing of Splash Mountain in its final hours really showcased the die hards that came out to support but this might even have topped that. Truly a night I’ll never forget

Thanks for this, I have many fond memories of seeing CBJ from years ago, it's a dang shame they can't leave it alone.

[@tracymacarthur5699]

Looked such a fun day, I understand why they're changing it, but it's sad to see it go

[@MonicaMacareno]

@@tracymacarthur5699What’s the reason as to why they’re changing it?

[@louisplaat8984]

when you retire from KZbin I think a job at WDWN is waiting.

[@dovesmum8521]

This is a great tribute. My best friends father in law was Al Bertino, imagineer and the person Big Al was named after. So glad they are recreating and not gutting this classic.

[@chickhazzard]

How awesome !

[@princessmarlena1359]

Sweet! I like Big Al.

[@jimoran5265]

It's very interesting how less popular rides explode in popularity when it's announced they're being changed or closed. It's bittersweet in a way. You don't know what you've got until it's gone.

[@writerpatrick]

Disney vloggers need to get together and have a "Muppetvision 3D" Day to help boost that ride. Sept. 24th is his birthday, but that's a while away. The original ride opened on May 16th, but the DCA version opened Feburary 8th, 2001. That would probably be the best date to do it. That's just 12 days away.

[@BrewCityGillz]

Great work documenting this, Adam! Thank you for sharing the fans with their various Country Bear merchandise. Great to see what people have found over the years.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I had such a great time

[@holly9197]

Really sorry to see this version closing down. It is one of our family favorites. Thanks for the memories!

[@taraanderson313]

Thank you for covering this! I appreciate your time and attention to covering all the final shows! I also agree, cast members are magic.

[@suec3128]

Thank you for this Adam. It was great to see everyone singing and enjoying the fun songs in this attraction. I will truly miss this from my childhood trips to Disney with my mom who loved the Country Bears, especially Big Al. Best EVER coverage!!

[@Eagles2777]

Lines like “all the guys who turn me on turn me down” and “soon as I find a ladder I’ll be right up” inspired so much genuine and unexpected laughter from people. Sucks that Disney is taking something so unique and turning it into yet another place to hear Aladdin and Little Mermaid songs. If I had to guess, this might follow the path of the Tiki Room and be changed back after people get tired of the new version.

[@StinkyGringo]

They'll never change it back

[@Eagles2777]

[@XanBos]

The emotion that pours out on the closing of an attraction is so heartfelt. It has been decades since I had seen this show. I just want to say that sometimes keeping a classic is better than moving on. I know that Disney himself said that there would be changes, and in part I agree. But this show is one that should be kept as is. I mean each time you went in, everyone was singing along! Thanks for preserving this moment. I cried, can’t lie. Some things are better untouched or removed.

[@princessmarlena1359]

Japan still has it in its original purity…but not in English. I’d still see it.

[@Seven50ml]

That was awesome! Thanks for taking us along Adam.

[@Jarvel5]

What a day! Glad you went and shared this experience with all of us!

[@Eagles2777]

Between Splash Mountain and an original Country Bears, Japan might now have a more authentic Disney experience than the United States. Good on Japan for respecting tradition and not randomly canceling the things people love.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I was thinking the same thing. One of these days I’m gonna go over there

Thanks for sharing these finals moments of a classic attraction, Adam. I remember watching this show as a kid in the early 90s and the songs went way over my head. It was great seeing this show over the years and sharing that with my kids. It will be great to see the new show when it re-opens but will miss these corky songs.

[@thomaspaccione8237]

Adam, thank you for this. This show will be missed. Cast members like that really make the day special. What ever they are paying her, it is not enough!!

[@cyurkovich6899]

Thanks so much Adam for filming the last day . I love the Country Bears the way they were. I’m so sorry to see them changing it. Your video made me laugh seeing everyone singing along with the bears. Thanks so much for the time you put into this video. I really enjoyed it.

[@alliekuma4234]

I didn't get to see this in person so thank you for the awesome vid!!❤❤ I loved being able to feel some of the magic again!

[@barrettbridgmon1376]

Adam I have been a Fan of yours for a long time since the back to the future locations. I Have always enjoyed your videos but I gotta say this one is one of my favorites. I loved the country bear Jamboree me and my dad used to laugh every time we went. I can not believe it is gone. This video brought back those memories so I wanted to say thank you for the upload and the memories.

[@rebelalliance77]

Thank you for documenting this event! It’s much appreciated.

[@wvugirl2007]

I wish I could have been here for this! I totally would have loved spending the last day with those bears. I know it’s coming back in some form, but those songs and the whole cast of characters involved made it a favorite for me since childhood. Thank you for letting us experience it with you and your friends.

[@Amy-qe4iy]

This video is amazing! Thank you so much for doing this for all of us who could not be there. I loved the Splash Mountain farewell and this is just as great. Thank you for sharing this evening with us.

Great video!! Thanks for giving the Country Bear Jamboree its due!! Always been a fave and I missed it by less than two weeks ( will be there next week!). I will miss the original it holds such nostalgia for me!! Thanks again!!😊🤘🏻🐻

[@johndreker1613]

Funny story. Some days I have more work than other days, but I work seven days a week and watch Mr the Woo's videos during my breakfast (or lunch) break. I knew today I had a very easy day of work, I have some extra time and no plans, so I said to myself "I hope he posts a 50 minute video today". Just 21 seconds short of what I was hoping for today! Thank you, Mr the Woo!

[@marlareid883]

My mom is devastated and crushed over it being changed. It's her absolute favourite Disney attraction. Yes, we use a U in favourite here in Canada. 🇨🇦🐻

[@Ronaldl2350]

The cast members are just phenomenal! The cast members are huge stars! I hope basically its just a freshening up of the bears and music changes. I hope as well the Bears will still have the same vibe they have had for all these years. Great to see the love and enthusiasm for the Bears!

[@aaronthomasmay]

Thanks for chatting with me a little bit Friday while walking out of one of the showings! After watching for many years, was cool getting to speak with you! Your channel has inspired me to do a little YouTubing myself! I’m hopeful that one of two of the original songs will be in the new show…guess we will find out this summer!

I remember seeing the country Bear jamboree in the late 70s. I probably was 15 or 16. Had a real good run and it’s sad to see it go but at least it’s not going away forever. It’s gonna be fun to see what they come up with for the new shows. I’m glad you had a good time with Jacob and Mika and other friends, look like it would’ve been a fun time. ❤ We love you country Bears.

[@twoblacklabs904]

You know, when I was a kid I really couldn’t (and didn’t) appreciate the artistry and beauty of this show. Years later, I grew to love it and the magic of the Imagineers, programmers, musicians and singers who performed via the Animatronics and those who maintained the integrity of this wondrous cavalcade of Bear talent. God bless the Country Bears. See ya’ REAL SOON…

I watched this in the mid 70's with my little brother ,it was in critter country, Disneyland California, so much fun . I lost him in 82 , he was 13. Places like this help us enjoy the time of the ones we go with , I am so glad I went on that day ! Blessed that I still remember it and him .😊

[@reneebarrow4697]

This was so much fun. I felt like I was watching Ground Hog Day.🤣🤣🤣 I wish you could have made it for the 12th time and wish they would have done the last show as scheduled. I'm sure a lot of people were disappointed. The crowds were great. Your singing was so good Adam. Good to see Jacob again. Thanks for sharing and brightening my day. ❤

[@MrPhrigid]

I was a “college programmer” in Frontierland around early 2002. Country Bears was my main spot I worked at as a cast member. Thank you so much for this. I wish I could have been there for this day. So many good memories there… including getting my feet run over regularly from people in electric scooters trying to park in front of the entrance. I also loved seeing Tom Corless in this video. And always enjoy Jacob and Micah, as well.

@TheDailyWoo Great Video Adam!!! The first time I saw The Country Bear Jamboree was at Disneyland in 1975. I was 6 years old. That show has always been my favorite. I hope that if the revised show is a flop, Disney will bring back the original show. It was obvious in those last performances how much the audience loves The Country Bear Jamboree.

[@candarianpumpkin]

That looked like a super fun day! I like how it turned into a karaoke Jamboree after the sun went down.

I never saw this show, my very first time to a Disney Park was May of 2022. I was treated to Disneyland for four days !! Country Bear Jamboree was replaced by Star Wars. So didn't get to experience the BEARS... THANK YOU for posting this ADAM !! At least I was able to see some of this show !!

[@JESmith]

Hey Adam, thanks for covering the last day and having a great time! If the bears' closing date wasn't three weeks notice and the prices to get into MK weren't high I would have been there myself. Though I probably would have been caught in that big line with the bears' last shows getting cancelled! By the way, to answer that question you asked Tom about if Buford was a dog or a child, if you listen to the whole song by Homer & Jethro you get your answer. The answer is....neither! In Country Bear they only sang the first line, but the whole song has this line... "Buford brought home his report card Buford was proud as could be At last he had passed to the third grade And Buford is just *23*!" (Wasn't expecting him to be a 23-year old guy who just got to third grade, did you? Not gonna lie Adam, if I had been there yesterday and happened to overhear you ask Tom that question, I would have stepped in and sang the verse to you guys right there!)

[@BostonRho]

Core memories of the heads talking from my childhood 😲 In 1977 nothing was like this. It was so real this and the tiki room ❤❤ Sooo magical . Thanks for sharing now we can forever watch when we miss it ❣️

I have been going since 1976 and this really brought a tear to my eye. Definitely saving for posterity!

[@Del-Lebo]

My sister and I used to perform this show to our family using the picture book 12" record back in the early 1970's. (Disneyland version) ((I'm 57, sis' 55)) It's great to see some massive love for an always more than half way full attraction. I am glad they are keeping the attraction and giving it an update instead of turning it into a Whinny the Pooh ride. Change is hard and bittersweet but without it we do not grow.

[@GreatCaesarsGhost1111]

Thank you Adam for not only documenting the end of American culture, but appreciating our culture.

[@micycles1200]

I'm glad I was there on the last day. I only had time to do one show (I had to make the most of my one day trip from California) but my mission was accomplished. I said I would be there to see the bears off to their new endeavors, and I did. I wish my show was as lively as the other ones though. My theater wasn't nearly as cheery as the later ones. I think that's because a lot of people didn't know it was the last day, but word slowly started spreading throughout the park and that's when people showed up, and then the super fans showed up. I'm always goinf to love the Country Bear Jamboree. I'm always going to love the Country Bears. I only got to see the show 3 times in my life but those 3 times were incredible and these guys really made an impact on me. I hope that whatever is in store for the bears is nothing but positive. I wish I could have stayed but that 3 hour long line was just a bit hefty since I had to fly out early the next day. It's very sad that the bears went out the way they did but it's awesome that everyone who stayed got that exclusive poster and those CMs were great. We hope that they'll be comin back again. They've done their very best to please with just the bear necessities and we hope that they'll be comin back again. We had such fun, we're gonna cry - we just can't bear to say goodbye - but we hope that they'll be comin back again.
