New Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree Sign

We’ve been waiting to hear more news about the reimagined Hungry Bear Restaurant in Disneyland, which closed in July 2024 to make way for new theming to be included in the restaurant as Critter Country is reimagined to make way for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure opening in November, meaning it’s getting an all new Country Bears theme. And now, we finally HAVE that news — Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree will be opening in Disneyland SOON!

Disney has just announced that Hungry Bear Barbecue Jamboree will officially be opening for guests on October 25th — just 10 days away at the time of writing!
