I have no idea who these bears are or what their deal is but that was the most heart-warming, inexplicable outpouring of affection towards singing, dancing animatronics I have ever seen in my life. Sorry for your loss.
It was nice to see so many people saying goodbye and singing together. ❤ Felt like the magic was there. Those cast members were amazing.

Not goodbye, see you this summer!
Theres always something bittersweet about letting something like this go. The attractions were never intended to run as long as they now did, but having them on for so long without major changes makes them very nostalgic for many generations.
Awwww Those last cast members were top tier. That was really sweet!
Such amazing video coverage, I’m so glad you were there for this! The Country Bears are a big comfort for me, they got me through some really tough family events that happened in my life when I was 14, and seeing them be changed is really hard for me but seeing this gathering of fans who know their lore like I do is beautiful, when I was younger no one cared about them and you couldn’t find barely any information or merch of them on the internet, never mind a fandom with fanart, cosplay, plush, etc. the Big Al Furby and Grizzly Hall shirt made me so happy. Everyone singing the songs and dialogue was so great. Henry and Liver Lips decided they wouldn’t go out without protest, I guess.
Those bear characters walking around were so cool!! Fun video Jacob!
I must say this video was one of the most fun ones you have done. Just pure joy watching the Country Bear Jamboree over and over. Loved the bear characters in the street dancing with people. Job well done!
The Ballad of Davey Crockett, a hit in 1955, was sung by Bill Hayes. Sadly, Mr. Hayes just passed away January 12th, and was 98 years of age. RIP Bill (aka Doug Williams, from Days of Our Lives) ❤

My husband and I enjoy watching your videos every day you post one. Thank you for bringing joy into the world. 😊
My favorite part of big events like this that attract a ton of my favorite KZreadrs is that I will watch each of them and look for common moments and try to spot one in another’s video. It’s like tag 😂
That hoedown was so much fun! Glad so many people enjoyed the day.
First Splash Mountain, now Country Bear Jamboree. It's the end of a reall long era for these rides that were a part of my childhood when I went to Disney World many years ago. Hope the new ones go smoothly.

I mean there really isn’t much changing about it besides just what is gonna play, all the aspects and animatronics will stay unlike splash getting completely bulldozed aside from the track and boats
This was the first I heard about the Bears was closing, and for a moment, it felt like a part of my childhood had been ripped from me and stomped flat. But there going to be back and what a relief that is. Been a fan of the Country Bears since the 70's. I trust you will document the new show for us. COUNTRY BEARS FOREVER!!!

Alas, all things must past, even nostalgia dies eventually. Retirement homes are filled with once-Peter Pans trying to recall a world that doesn't exist anymore. Deal with it.

Not looking forward to the disney songs they'll be singing. I hope that at least the songs will match the show but I doubt it, the country bears aren't fluffy kittens and rainbows.

@@minavane5533 They are gonna sing old classic like Jungle book songs and Pinochio, Dumbo, Lion king ,and robinhood
The crowd participation is reminiscent of the old days of Rocky Horror midnight shows.
That was crazy. The crowds really love them . Glad you got to see them before they change it. I can see by the songs why they will change some things .Sad that the bears broke down but truly understandable. Great video. You really caught some awesome fans as well. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Love the bears... Thumbnail bear could be a long lost Uncle Bagger 😂
I’ve Never even been to Disney and this got me choked up when they let y’all back inside. Something very sad about seeing an old show like that go away. Likely those voices will be changed and gone from the park forever, as (almost) all of(?) the original singers are dead.
I saw the show in November 1971, a month after it opened. Long live the Bears no matter what format they're in.

Bears will be back but, with different accents and looks. Can we all hold hands and try and contact Walt. Thanks Jacob, so glad your planned your journey to include this.

What? So they're taking away their southern accents? First splash mountain, then country bear, they'll probably get rid of frontier land next sadly. This is starting to sound less of a racist thing and more of a prejudice thing against the hillbilly aspect , interesting.
Jacob making sure he used every cent of that annual pass 😂 and I'm all into it 🎉🤗
Great video tour of the Country Bears! Probably the best I’ve seen of the recent KZread live streams of the Country Bears. Really felt like I was there.
This was bittersweet. My family loved the Country Bears, especially Big Al. So glad you were able to video tape their last day.😥
I wish they still had this at Disneyland. When I went to Disneyworld about 12 years ago I was so excited to see the country bears since I grew up seeing them on the west coast. Carousel of progress, swiss family tree house, and the people mover. Great old school attractions.
Love the country bears, I will miss the original version.
I loved seeing the wide range of fans from kids to young adults to older folks.
What a wonderful heart warming video to start my day. Thanks Jacob!
Glad that they're going to be revamped, as those animatronics are old and hopefully the new Bears will be fantastic considering the newer technology. These may last as long if not longer than the originals. Also, many have the older shows recorded, and while not as good as in person, they'll still be able to see the older version.

I wonder where the bots and cosmetics will all go?
I first visited Disneyland in 1972, and still have not been to Walt Disney World. First attraction was The Enchanted Tiki Room, with Country Bear Jamboree coming second. 'Blood on the Saddle' will always be in my memory.
So glad you were able to attend the final day of Country Bear Jamboree! Thank you for taking us along. Hugs 🤗 and God bless 🙏

🎃🍁🎃Hi, Kim!! 👋
It looks like everybody had a blast I'm so glad I had the chance to catch the show on my last trip. Thanks for the great video!
Awww🫶 what a great tribute from the country bear fans. As a past Disneyland employee that worked in costuming a bit, I’ve spent a lot of time with this bunch. From early mornings changing out oil leaked furs/costumes on the animatronics to those old, musky & heavy costumes I felt bad putting on people. These guys are Disney classics. I’m glad they are getting a revamp vs ☠️. Great video as always, Jen is still my favorite Carpetbagger copilot but I really enjoy your videos and vibe with Adam as well. Safe travels😊
Thank you for bring me a piece of my childhood. The last time I got to see them I was a new teenager. The time before I was 10 years old.it was the last time we went to Disneyland with my Dad. He died less than six months later. My memories are bittersweet . So thank you for being there for their last time performing. Lots of good memories.
A crown Jewel of my VHS collection is a NTSC VHS bootleg of a conversion of the PAL "Song of the South" done back in the 90's. They only released Song of the South for sale outside of the United States dodging backlash. The bear in Country Bear is the same one in Song of the South, The Brer Bear apart of Uncle Remus's Stories to tell the children. All reasons tie together.
Thanks for taking us along for last show!!! Amazing and fun seeing you with the buddies..ADAM THE WOO 🤩🤩
My first time seeing the Wonderful Country Bear Jamboree was `1972, I was 3. I have many photo albums full of Disney World pictures starting then till the 90"s. Was a great time to be a kid, Thank You Mom and Dad, for moving us to Florida then and many thanks to Walt Disney for ,making such a wonderful place for all of us kids to experience and make dreams come true! You are so lucky Jacob, Adam and Micah to have been there that day. Love the vids Jacob, Hi to Jen :))))))
Thanks for chatting with me Friday outside of country bears! It was great to meet someone I’ve watched for many years, especially a fellow North Carolinian! Your channel has inspired me to work on my own KZread channel! I’m hoping the new bears show will include one or two of the classic songs…🤞
nice to meet you, man! ..fun vlog!
This is the best thing I’ve ever seen❤ so sad I couldn’t be there. Thank you for sharing this beautiful day
We love when all our favorite KZreadr's get together for these events...it just makes us sit in front of the tv and laptops all day watching each of you over and over...because we have to watch all the way through, watch the ad's, hit the like button and comment...because we love you all that way.... :) Don't get me wrong we don't mind doing it
I am so glad you went there! It was a great bunch of shows! Thank you for sharing it with us!
OMG!!! I am a HUGE O.G. Country Bear Fan!!! I live in CA and love classic Disneyland, and remember them so well from my childhood and young adult years!! Last time we were at WDW, we were probably the only people sitting in the theater clapping along and cheering to every song! It's great to see the Bears get some Love!! 🥰
So sad 😭😭😭 awesome day today sad they broke down before the end 😭🔚😭 thanks to you guys for sharing Adam is so much fun with you 😄😄
It’s like they’re lying in state with all the people cycling through the theater! 😂😂😂
The lack of originally unique attractions at Disney parks these days is a criminal. At least it's not totally somber because the bears are coming back refreshed and new. Hopefully they sing some country songs that are non-Disney. Rocky Top would be great like in the Vacation Hoedown.
I never been to the country bear jamboree, but I can feel the sadness from the crowd. And my own sadness, cause I never seen it before and my first time will be in this new IP injected form.
I remember the country Bear 🐻 jamboree. It’s been a long time since I seen them, but this made my heart have joy and happiness. Thank you for making me feel happy of one of my greatest memories from Disney. It made my heart feel have joy. 😊
i went to see the country bears jamboree on my birthday week at disney world.

This was awesome loved it ❤
So glad u got to experience this Jacob. Great video as always ✌️❤️🙂
Thank you so very much for sharing the last of this great attraction. I will miss it.
Wow Country bears was packed!
I watched what would be the last show live streamed with around 100 others. Eventhough the bear on the right froze everyone was singing and clapping raucously. It happened very shortly after you had been there. I saw you sitting right in front of the streamer I had on. I switched around between live streams as the shows went on.
Hi Jacob what a lovely Vlogg... Glad to have experienced this with you. XX
Aww such a cutie with a lot of bears
“Adam has two friends with sideburns” 💀
Great video !! Love to see everyone’s passion for a classic… this was a really fun watch 😅
I saw the show years ago and really enjoyed it and I am happy they are keeping the show even if in a new show experience
I've been sick for 2 weeks and when you said March I was like 😱😱😱😱😱😱 I have been sick super long! 🤣🤣❤️🤣❤️❤️
Good morning. I'm going to miss the Country Bears.
Awesome video as always Jacob 👏
Thank you so much for sharing this video. The country bears are the best will miss them
This was just the sweetest thing. I don't know where you all get the stamina to do that for all those hours.
Never been there but can feel the joy and love for the bears. Sense the sadness and loss but also the anticipation for the new show coming. 😥.......😀
Kudos to your KZread Channel, Jacob! 👍👍👍👍
I actually cried watching this😢sad to know country bears are changing
Great video, Jacob. Gonna miss the Jamboree so much, but I gotta say, that ho down was awesome.
You can tell the difference of Chip and Dale by their nose, Chip’s is brown like a chocolate chip.
So glad there are other people that know every word of those songs. I had the album...
I saw a person snap a photo of Carpetbagger .
Aww how sad, well at least they’ll be back again. I guess change is good, but for me, I like things just as they are. Thank you Jacob for sharing this with us. I really enjoyed it ❤❤
Truly a heart warming episode Mr. Bagger ❤
Hey😊 I love this channel. You're solely the reason I switched my platform on YT to only be travel vlog. I did happen to see you and Adam yesterday at Country Bear. You were standing behind me in the queue, but i was too nervous to say hi. 🤭 i dunno why. It was a fun night saying goodbye to the bears though.
Hi Jacob and Jennifer 🙋🏾. Have a good day ‼️ Jacob it's fascinating to me that you knew the bears by name and Adam knew the words to the songs ‼️😃👍🏾
What a perfect ending for the show.
It was such a pleasure for my wife and I to meet you, Jacob! Thank you so much for giving me a chance to speak (I was the “first time/last time” guy in the deep-cut Amityville shirt). And just a question: where the heck was the Bears penny press?! I asked 2 separate castmembers and they both pointed me in 2 totally different directions, to unrelated penny press machines!

Update: SUCCESS! Our trip had us going back to the Magic Kingdom today, almost a full week later, but I am happy to say that as of today, 1/31, the Country Bear Jamboree penny press was still there on the porch, ORIGINAL character names intact! Thank you SO much for pointing me in the right direction, Jacob!!
I really wish I had a chance to see this in person, I know it revolutionized animatronics in history, god bless everyone that got to see it live. We will miss this show. 😢
JACOB !! My Favorite video I have watched. Disney is not exactly my thing, but you made it special. Your delivery and method exceeds most Utubers !! Continue your great work !!
lol I feel like it should be march as well. January has been a LONG month
The best thing ever was going to Tokyo Disneyland and getting to see the Country Bear Jamboree in Japanese.
Lolol...i was just ready to commit that! Lolol..i thought i was hearing things and rewinded the intro twice! 😂
I attended Disneyland the day it started. Always fun. I mean Country Bear.
Enjoyed the video Jacob excellent. Take care my friend and safe travels as always.
Big Al is my favorite He reminded me so much of my father in law when he was living We brought him home a mug with big al on it his name was AL too Cheri TN
Absolutely one of the best vlogs ever.....thank you for sharing the community love of the country bears!!!
Thanks for the country bear jamboree show guy.
This is so weird, hehe...the show is weird, the packed houses are weird...and yet, it's endearing, seeing people get into it, cosplayong the show...I hope everyone had a great time and that everyone has a great day. :)
@27:41 these guys were funny and a joy 😂😂
Thanks Jacob ❤
It was awesome being there on the last day! The audience was electric. I saw you at the Pecos Bill bathroom but I didn’t saw anything because I thought it would be awkward. 😂
Im to old to do .. but LSD at the Country Bear Jamboree sounds like a blast... (random thought) ...
Hey you all! Loved the video Jacob!
RR was just over 48005...largest attendance in Tropicana field history. You need to check out the Sant' Yago Knight Parade. It's the night version of the Gasperilla parade held throughout Yabor City. It occurs like the second week of February.
The theater was smaller than I expected
We were in Hollywood Studios that day, but wish I could’ve said goodbye to my favorite bears on this trip. I will miss the old show, but I hope they do the Bears justice and create a great new show. Sad that we are so offended by certain things now, but it is what it is. I’m just glad we get to keep the Country Bears in WDW!!! ❤🐻❤
Good Morning " YA ALL " Jacob
CARPETBAGGER is having a great time. During Choose My Adventure, The viewers kept sending him deeper and deeper into the Coldest regions of the country but Carpetbagger seems to have turned it around.
I also remember the Country Bears Jamboree as we saw it as a family in the 1970's on our annual Florida vacations for years as kids with our parents n it was my Father, John Locher 's, favourite Disney attraction ever n he also knew every Bear by name n instrument n the entire show by rote!!! RIP DAD n the original Country Bear Jamboree!!!
I was so upset how quickly the closure was announced…didn’t get a chance to come back and see them one last time… Of course WDW maintenance couldn’t get the show up. It’s been slipping the past few years. Such a shame. I remember watching this show with my grandparents…and my parents…and just last year for the first time with my daughter who loved it. Things like this are memory makers. I hope the new show is good.
Aww such a great video. Im glad i got to see the bears one more time through your videos. I loved watching the country bears growing up. Have you watched the country bear movie. What did you think of it i liked it very cute movie.
