The Country Bear Jamboree attraction, located in Frontierland of Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World, has been around for quite some time and some even consider it a classic Disney attraction.

However, today it seems as though the attraction is facing some serious technical difficulties as it has been closed to Guests for four hours!

At this time, we are unsure of what is causing these technical issues, but Inside the Magic will update you as we get information regarding the Country Bear Jamboree. In the meantime, if you are visiting Magic Kingdom today, you can experience many other attractions nearby including Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain, both also located inside Frontierland.

Or, head next door to Adventureland and visit some squash bucklin’ pirates on Pirates of the Caribbean, or check out the tropical hideaway in The Enchanted Tiki Room!

You can read the official attraction description of the Country Bear Jamboree attraction at Disney World’s Magic Kingdom here:

Country Bear Jamboree
Have a knee-slappin’ good time at this jolly country-and-western musical revue starring a cast of singing bears.

This Hootenanny is a Real Hoot
Step inside the rustic theater known as Grizzly Hall and take your seat before the lights dim. Clap along as 18 Audio-Animatronics hillbilly bears play and sing during this 16-minute, foot-stompin’ cele-bear-tion. You’ll hear a medley of original and classic tunes—all performed by the zaniest critters in the woods.

Overflowing with humor, heart and a few surprises, this crowd-pleasing show features a down-home, southern sensibility you and your cubs will love.

Walt Disney’s Pawprints
Country Bear Jamboree is one of the very last attractions that Walt Disney personally helped develop. Originally planned for a never-built Disney ski resort in Mineral King, California, the show with the singing bears happily moved out to Florida in 1971 and has been performing daily at Magic Kingdom park ever since.
