40 Disney Attractions: 38

"Hey Henry! What's holdin' you up? Let's get on with the show!"



38. The Country Bear Jamboree

Disney World's original park, the Magic Kingdom, is more or less a recreation of California's Disneyland. From the park's layout of multiple themed lands to the centerpiece, a brilliant and beautiful castle, Magic Kingdom is a tribute to the young and young of heart and a place where dreams come true.

Full of red rock buttes and sitting beside an old gold rush river, Frontierland is a land pieced together from the most fantastical Westerns. Here, cowboys uphold the law of the land, pioneers set up shops and saloons and miners explore the beauty of the old west searching for that great promise of gold.

While Disneyland has the Critter County, Magic Kingdom places all its "Souther talking animal" attractions in Frontierland. Because why the heck not. So that's why the Country Bear Jambaroo is here, then!

Anyways, rustic Grizzly Hall houses an old-timey country revue full of robot bears and the heads of other robot animals on the wall providing commentary, but not in a snarky Statler and Waldorf kind of way. Just regular old commentary.

Henry, your master of ceremonies, introduces a number of goofy-lookin bears who all sing a little song and play their instruments before the next bear comes out. It may not be that enjoyable to most people, it remains pretty cute. Plus, there is literally 0% chance you're going to hate a giant, fat slow bear named Big Al singing "Blood on the Saddle".

Also,

Big dumb belchin bear!
