food IS a theme park
Does Disney World even have a slow season anymore?
Cinderella Castle
Sure, the holiday season may be over, but can you really count on wait times to go down in the parks come January? Planning a Disney World trip certainly isn’t easy, and when you’ve got long lines and crowds to worry about, things can get overwhelming pretty quickly. But, that’s where we come in!
A few days ago, we witnessed the end of an era in Disney World.
The show is closed for now!
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.
Watch out! There are several ride, restaurant, and hotel pool CLOSURES happening next week in Disney World, and they might impact your upcoming vacation!
Magic Kingdom
Let’s check out all the temporary closures and refurbishments that will affect Disney World from January 28th through February 3rd.
Well, it’s official, a classic Disney World attraction has closed to get a revamp.
Country Bear Jamboree
The Country Bears held their last jamboree until they come back with a brand new act this summer, and things are already changing in Magic Kingdom now that the attraction has temporarily closed. So let’s take a look at how the attraction’s closure has affected Magic Kingdom.
Disney is wasting no time getting to work on its latest project!
Country Bear Jamboree
Country Bear Jamboree is changing in a huge way in Magic Kingdom — Disney Imagineers are updating the show with “an all-new act.” The bears are going to be singing Disney songs in NEW styles, like pop country, rockabilly, and bluegrass! The attraction officially closed its doors on January 27th, and now we’ve got our first signs that work is taking place.
Yes, you probably enjoy shopping and eating around Disney World, but let’s face it — most people are there for the rides!
EPCOT
We can’t blame you because Disney World is full of both classic and innovative attractions. While many think of Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom as the parks with the longest wait times, EPCOT has a couple of rides that pull big crowds of their own. Those two attractions are Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Frozen Ever After, and one just BEAT the other for the highest wait time in the park!
It’s the end of an era in Magic Kingdom!
Country Bear Jamboree
Country Bear Jamboree was one of the opening day attractions at Magic Kingdom, opening alongside the park on October 1st, 1971. Last year, Disney announced that the attraction would be closing to make room for a new, updated version of the show. The original Country Bear Jamboree gave its final performances on January 26th, 2024. And now that it’s officially closed, let’s take a look at what’s REALLY changing with the classic attraction.
It’s time to say goodbye! The Country Bear Jamboree — referred to as “Walt’s last laugh” by some Disney Cast Members — is closing. But fear not! The show isn’t closing for good. In fact, Disney has big plans to update the 50-year-old show. Before the show closes its curtains for a while, we stopped by to say goodbye (or at least, “See ya real soon!“).
Country Bear Jamboree
We weren’t the only ones, though! The line to catch the Country Bear Jamboree was LONG — in fact, Cast Members had to close the line early to keep up with the demand. So, what’s it like over in Frontierland on the last night the Country Bear Jamboree will perform before it changes? Let’s take a look!

Magic Kingdom is going through some serious changes.
Welcome to the SUNNY Magic Kingdom!
We’ve been keeping up with all of the construction progress on the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure transformation, but that’s not the only attraction getting an update in this park. Last year, Disney announced that another iconic Magic Kingdom attraction would be getting an update, and that time has finally come.
