Country Bear Musical Jamboree partial set list of new songs
Disney songs will be in the spotlight of the new Country Bear Musical Jamboree, opening this summer at Magic Kingdom. Find out which ones.
Disney’s classic bears will debut a new act when Country Bear Musical Jamboree opens at Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Fla. The revamped revue’s set list will feature familiar songs from Disney movies performed by the Audio-Animatronics bears that have been signature to Grizzly Hall for over five decades.
Jinkies, It’s a Country Bear Mystery
In reality, talented musicians recorded the songs in Nashville, Tenn. Disney shared a peek behind the scenes of recording sessions in episode 2 of “We Call It Imagineering” on YouTube. In that episode, artists revealed “Try Everything” and “A Whole New World” as songs in the Country Bears’ lineup, joining the previously shared “The Bare Necessities.” If the instrumental background music in the episode is to be believed, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” will also be in the show.
Though the vocalists seen recording “A Whole New World” in the episode hold plush toy counterparts of Teddi Barra and Big Al, the Disney Parks Blog confirmed (as the attraction poster above displays) Wendell will sing with Teddi, not Big Al.
Similarly, while the episode outright reveals “Try Everything” as Trixie’s number, visible sheet music references the “Sun Bonnets” (aka Bunny, Bubbles, and Beulah, who will debut new costumes for the show) as Trixie’s stage partners for the song, aligning with the stars’ billing on the attraction poster.
