Country Bear Jamboree
Attraction at Magic Kingdom® Park
Fun Facts
This attraction opened with Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971.
Country Bear Jamboree is a musical revue performed by a jolly band of backwoods bears in Grizzly Hall theater in Fontierland at Magic Kingdom theme park.
Join the talented cast of 18 musically-inclined bears as they perform continuous 17-minute shows featuring country music-style classics—to the delight of fans big and small. The rustic review is infused with a down-home sensibility that includes plenty of great music, broad humor and a few unexpected surprises.
The show starts when the three stuffed animal heads mounted on the walls—named Buff, Max and Melvin—show more life than might be expected. Grizzly Hall's emcee, Henry, introduces us to a colorful variety of gifted bears who each make an appearance, sing a few songs and display their expertise on a variety of musical instruments. Look for the crowd favorite; a towering mammoth with a soulful heart named, appropriately, Big Al.
The Country Bears are always in a festive mood, but never more so than during the holiday season, when they get in the holiday spirit and perform an extraordinary collection of yuletide favorites.
Country Bear Jamboree is one of the very last attractions that Walt Disney personally helped develop. The show was originally planned for a never-built Disney ski resort in Mineral King, California. When that project did not come to fruition, the bears happily moved out to Florida in 1971 and have been performing daily at Magic Kingdom theme park ever since.
Country Bear Jamboree is located along the southwest bend of the Rivers of America, next door to Pecos Bill Café.

To use the FASTPASS system, simply slip your Park Pass into the FASTPASS machine to receive a ticket with an assigned return time and enjoy the rest of the Park while Disney's FASTPASS service saves your place in line.
- Some attractions offer a Rider Swap option. Rider Swap is when Guests take turns waiting with youngsters too small to ride a certain attraction then "swapping" with another Guest from their party to experience the ride without standing in line twice. See a Cast Member for additional information.
