Some of the tongue and cheek kinda fun that went over kids heads seems to be missing which is unfortunate.

[@Mr17051963]

After Epcot’s old Future World hub and Splash Mountain disasters, I’m glad the Bears are still alive in a new and funny show!

[@JLHH47]

Love the OLD 🤎🐻🪕🤠🎻 Love the NEW !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@lindamemo5224]

I enjoyed the show. Needs more big Al but overall they didn’t mess it up too bad putting in countrified IP

[@Louismoxley]

There was something “genuine” about the original bears..the new show seems “commercial”..I prefer Charlie Browns Christmas tree

[@carterd5364]

Well said

[@martidodger7106]

I just wish they’d done older more obscure disney songs like “Lavender Blue”, “let’s get together” or other songs that don’t get a lot of play in the park loops

[@cecfigment]

None of those I know 😭

[@LiamThomasGreenaway947]

I agree “Lavender Blue” should’ve been added to the new Country Bear attraction to remember Disney legend Burl Ives who was in “So Dear to My Heart” and “Summer Magic”.

[@Thincrust128]

They are trying to attract a newer audience and kids. So they have to play popular songs so they will sing along.

[@weatheredseeker]

When I see comments like this I know not to care about the dissent

[@julie3895]

Great choices!

[@djdef5521]

Glad the bears are back, show looks & sounds great! I just wish it was a little longer & more Big Al! None the less, I’m happy the bears are back. Can’t wait to hear Tom’s honest review

[@taratravia9464]

Just watched the Bears with D23- we loved it! We could tell how much love went into it and it was absolutely a fun time. We wished it was longer. Everyone there seemed joyful. I truly think any complaints are just for clicks. Thanks for the positive attitude and not trying to make this into the death of someone’s childhood.

[@lindamemo5224]

Really did enjoy it so happy lots of little nods to the old show

[@davidnevolo4402]

Surprised OLC will be operating a cruise, considering cruises can go all over the world. Their relationship with disney is fascinating.

[@Nonfiction79]

At least we still have the Bears! They could be gone completely. Maybe in the future we could see another new show.

[@erikagholston6610]

I need to start saving now for the Disney Cruise in Japan.

[@traciecombs7030]

Wow. They are refurbishing some of the most popular MK attractions at the same time- I wish they would announce their refurbishments similar to Tokyo, for guests that plan their vacations ahead... some guests will be very sad.

[@DisMindy5767]

So MK is going to have 3 major attractions closed for refurb at the same time? Peter Pan, Haunted Mansion and Jungle Cruise? Well that will increase lines at other attractions to make the parks seem busier I guess.

[@JohnALong-nl2hj]

It's about time, they return!

[@elizabethw.6154]

A Tokyo cruise?! Heck ya! It's just so far away tho 😢

[@stephenfreitas8546]

A Disney cruise ship needs to be named the Enchantment.

[@LokificentsLair]

How mad is tom?

[@MaryJoMiller]

I can't wait to see Country Bears in Sept

[@user-qr7xk4fz7t]

OLC is killing it! Can we just give them ALL the parks?!

[@MrKarmapolice97]

I actually really liked the new show, and compared it to the older show which I thought was boring and needed an update I don’t have any emotional attachment to the original so it doesn’t bother me I understand if someone does. That’s exciting that Japan gets a new class of ships cause their parks are amazing so the ships will be amazing also!

[@robunion]

Eric. You do a great job. You start off looking so serious. Just smile a little more. Keep up the good work guys (and gals) love the show.

[@krisrhood2127]

:53 sounds good!

[@amirajosh2729]

Here are 4 seasons of the Country Bears! Spring: January - early May (original show) Summer: Mid May - early August (vacation hoedown) Fall: Late August - late October (musical jamboree) Winter: Early November - late December (christmas special) It may take a few weeks or a month to change costumes for the bears and program the whole show. But due to recent cultural sensitivity, some parts during the show like gunshots (or cut some songs thanks to time constraints) will most likely get removed. You'll see...

[@fifthrider]

That set list makes about as much sense as anything. I realize it's not the 1970's anymore so most people wouldn't know the folk/country songs that the original act was based off of. I'm not a fan of shoehorning IP into everything but will admit those are popular and contemporary songs that keep this attraction fresh and memorable for a new generation. ...but not me. I'll be up in the box seats with Statler and Waldorf. ( "Get the bear off the stage! Ha-ha-ha!" )

[@gbradford6893]

P.Pan calendar in app, Showing no longer closed on wed 21st August

[@DanTheMan1973]

Glad so many like the new CBJ. Personally, it seems sanitized, with the compulsive need to add Disney IP into the show.

[@kazuthesamurai7346]

I don't know what the hell the O.L.C. is smoking, but building and operating a luxury cruise ship that's unaffordable to the majority of Japanese citizens are terrible plans🤦🏻‍♂️Nobody earns that kind of money here

[@line-ui9yo]

Then why are all the REALLY resorts and vacation packages always fully booked

[@Mewtho9]

I bet Tom wants a penny…

[@mst3kpimp]

theres nothing worth memorizing in the new show, i doubt it will have any cult value like the o.g.

[@DaveysWonderfulWorld]

Honestly I thought that the country bear musical jamboree was just OK I didn’t hate it it definitely had some good elements in there like the animatronics were impressive and they were like two songs I liked in the show but overall it just can’t hold a candle to the original most of the songs other than two or just serviceable at best and laughably awful at worst so yea I don’t hate this attraction but I don’t like it either 6/10

[@n8nawesome]

13:28 I hope they bring Astro Hero Time to Disneyland and Disney World when they permanently close the Tokyo one, because I want to see it in person!

[@punxsydawn]

"Try Everything" is the worst, but overall I like most of the songs. Just wish there were some more older ones in the mix, but what they did was done well.

[@FLgurl407]

Thank god. More housing for rich people. We were running low.

[@stevesumner9988]

I guess I'm just old fashion. Don't care much for the new one.

[@michaelschroeck2254]

Yes I’m happy the bears are alive and hopefully the beaten down animatronics were refurbed. Breathe new life into a tiring show ( I’m looking at you carousel of progress)

[@stevee8260]

Would love to know the average age of people disliking the new Country Bears and/or Tiana's BA.

[@DaMoocH916]

I’m 42, my wife 35, our children: 15, 12 and 7. We all agreed it’s not worth allocating paid time to visit the new show in person. We travel to Florida annually, are engaged Disneyphiles, subscribers, card holders and enthusiasts.

[@Louismoxley]

51..loved Big Al since I was 5..new one is lacking heart more corporate..I like Princess and the Frog and I feel it should have followed the movie ..no Ray or Dr.Facilier and Tiana shouldn’t be in Safari clothes??

[@ThatFandubGirl]

I'm 24, absolutely hate Tiana's Bayou Adventure I will never forgive Disney for taking Splash away from us. It was my favorite ride in the whole park and now that it is gone and replaced with something that doesn't even come close to living up to it's predecessor, I am just sad. It's going to be a one and done for me probably when it opens up in Disneyland, when Splash had great re-ride ability, Tiana's does not. And for country bears, it didn't have much sentimental meaning other than Big Al. He was my grandpa's favorite, he owned a plushy of him and he would tell my grandma about his song. He reminds me so much of my grandpa, and now that he has passed Big Al and Blood on the Saddle means so much to me. So when they announced at D23 they were going to change it, I'm not going to lie even though I didn't care that much for the show in general, knowing a part of my grandpa wasn't going to be there anymore was a little heart-wrenching for me, I cried so hard and was super angry watching that live stream. But I am glad that he still has a song and that it is Remember Me of all things, since it is a way to still remember my grandpa. So I am not completely against the new show, I just wish it was longer. But even young people don't like these changes, not just older people who are super nostalgic

[@baysage9251]

I think it is good but i dont see a younger generation caring. Maybe this is to build a case to remove it altogether and place another DVC lounge there.

[@toonsgalore8083]

Bro knows nothing about the country bears. He called Tennessee Zeb

[@Charles_Stanley13]

I think the new CBMJ is *perfect*. The old CBJ was antiquated, this will breathe new life into the attraction for the next 50 years.

[@SlushysSecret]

It isn’t as bad as people might think when they have a “new” log ride over ahead

[@MichaelMitchRailfan2009]

13:41 thank god Tokyo Disneyland is keeping Splash Mountain, that’s because Bob Iger (or Igor) don’t like new Tiana Bayou Adventure ride

[@derradune6722]

Disney doesn’t own Tokyo Disneyland so Iger has no involvement with it.

[@SlushysSecret]

The company by OLC owns the Tokyo Parks, they decide the rides, if they want that ride or they want their own better version of the ride then they’ll add it, but they have no interest in changing splash, even then Iger adores Bayou Adventure along with his dirt plans that ruin the whole company

[@alexsiliato]

Wreck it Ralph in Tomorrowland?! Makes no sense they keep making crappy decisions. More people know buzz than Ralph!

[@Louismoxley]

Four Seasons more homes and more big buildings..It’s already awful you see the homes and it takes away from FT.Wilderness in being immersed..same with seeing apartments at Animal Kingdom..Disney is in real estate game not immersing guests in Disney anymore..😢😢😢

[@cosmoco1970]

I pike u eric

[@codenameu.arctos3747]

Watched the new show. Seems rushed. no banter. based on the video timer- show is only 10 minutes long.

[@KforFreedom]

That was one thing I noticed too

[@Charles_Stanley13]

Agreed, but I'm 51. Most younger people today have the attention span of a gnat.

[@christopherjunkins]

Get butts in seats then kick them out. Hmm... Isner might have something to say there... I know Walt would!

[@CarloRufinoSabusap]

​@@Charles_Stanley13 has NOTHING to do with attention span and mostly to do with guest flow through, stop blaming young people for random things

[@Charles_Stanley13]

@@CarloRufinoSabusap Well, I DISAGREE and I'm entitled to my opinion. Thank you.

[@michaelbilgen2976]

They really need to replace the monorails. They are well past their useful life.

[@christopherjunkins]

What would they do? Buy new trains? naa... they'd just tear it all down... are you ready to see the monorails go? I'm not.

[@SlushysSecret]

They might get rid of the whole monorail instead considering how expensive it is it oven have them in the parks

[@vespista1971]

@@christopherjunkinsThat’s what I’m afraid of… I can see them wanting to replace Monorails with more (much cheaper) Skyliner routes. I wouldn’t get on one of those for anything, and I know others who feel the same. I don’t like heights or feeling like I’m just dangling from a cord like that. Hopefully the Monorails keep going for a long time!

[@Huntbeck33]

@@vespista1971I respect your scared of heights and I get it but you do realize your way more at risk driving your car everyday then riding the skyliner…….thats the way I look at it.
