A few days ago, we witnessed the end of an era in Disney World.
The Country Bear Jamboree closed its doors, but before that, a LOT of people came by Magic Kingdom to bid them farewell. However, don’t worry — the Country Bears are just learning a brand-new act, so they can return this summer with new songs! If you still miss seeing Big Al, Shaker, Liver Lips McGrowl, and Wendell, though, we’re going to tell you where to see them in Magic Kingdom while their show is closed.
We confirmed via the My Disney Experience app that four of the Country Bears will still be roaming around Frontierland to meet Disney World visitors. You can catch Big Al wandering Magic Kingdom throughout the day.
For example, you may spot him around 1PM, 2PM, or 3:20PM. Note that those times may vary, so make sure to check My Disney Experience during your visit.
Shaker will be hanging around Frontierland throughout the day, too!
You may also spot Wendell greeting folks in Frontierland. He typically wanders the park at the same times as Shaker.
You may recognize his name from the iconic Wendell’s Bear Claw treat we used to LOVE!
Finally, Liver Lips McGrowl (who will be renamed Romeo McGrowl in the new show) can be seen at 1PM, 2PM, and 3:20PM.
We’ll be interested to see when (and if) his name — and existence in Magic Kingdom — changes before the new show debuts.
Be sure to visit Frontierland the next time you’re in Magic Kingdom if you want to meet the Country Bears. We’re already keeping an eye on the closed attraction to see what has changed, so stay tuned to DFB for ALL the Country Bear updates (and other Disney news, too, of course).
