There was audible excitement in our show when Big Al started playing.

I don’t know where that narrative comes from.

I’m glad that with everything slated for Frontierland, let alone Walt Disney World, that they decided “this his has significance to the park and resort’s history, we need to find a way to save it”. It really did deserve it, and to me it proves that imagineering does care about park history, individuality, and all the stuff we love, they’re just stuck with management who doesn’t.

Clearly, you’re entitled to your opinion and your interpretation of the room. I’ve seen it several times now, including twice last week, and I love it. It is much tighter than the most recent version. The most recent version hasn’t been the original in a long time, since it was chopped up. Most notably, my boys on the wall seemed to have a disjointed part in the old version. Now they are fully integrated once again and make more sense. I don’t know half the songs, and I don’t care. I didn’t know any of the songs in the last one before I saw the show. “Blood on the saddle“ was perfectly replaced. The songs were good choices in my opinion, and the ones I did know landed very well. I’ve yet to see a showing without audience clapping when “You’ve got a friend in me” comes on. The characters have a more modern country vibe with the sequins and all. OK, they are in frontierland, so I don’t know that technically fits, but it is relatable to modern audiences. If we’re being picky, bears can’t sing or play instruments, either. I see just as much engagement as the old one, no more no less, from my visits. Sometimes it depends on how crowded the theater is, sometimes it depends on one family getting into it and getting the clapping started, and everyone else joins in. This was an excellent move. This was an excellent business decision. Probably not too costly, completely revamped a beloved show while maintaining the integrity of individual characters and the show itself. Well done. Bravo.

I Believe in Santa Claus, I Believe in Santa Claus! I believe there’s always hope when all seems lost! and I Believe in Santa Claus! The country bear thread of all places should follow the advise of Kenny and Dolly.

As a country bear fan, i think we should all be more greatful for this redo. It was never gonna be perfect but with how beautiful grizzly hall and the bears themselves look now, the fact the voices of the bears don’t have “wrong sounding muppets” syndrome, and despite ip, we got a competent, respectful, and at times funny show that wasn’t overbearing on the Disney part, this is probably one of if not THE best case scenario under todays Disney. It could have been SO MUCH WORSE.

I believe in Santa Claus, like I believe in love. I believe in Santa Claus, and everything he does. There’s no question in my mind that he does exist. Just like love, I know he’s there, waiting to be missed.

I have seen both - and see the vacation version when I am in Tokyo in the summer - but both were/are temporary. This new show at MK is permanent.

Eh, I don't know. "Milky Milky Coco Puffs" are some quality lyrics. This checks out.

He's beloved throughout the world. Believe what your heart tells you, son. You don't have to listen to those older kids.

Wait, Santa's not real?

That makes sense as a lot of people who visit the parks now don't have any attachment to the older attractions. Add in hearing songs they know makes it a better experience.

The new version is rated higher by every age demographic we ask. The new version gets a 4.5 out of 5 from pre-schoolers, grade school, over 30's, and seniors. It gets 4.0 from teens and young adults. The old version got 4.0 from preschoolers, over 30's, and seniors, and 3.5 from everyone else. I'm just going to point out that The Black Eyed Peas' My Humps, which critics have called the worst pop song of its decade, hit #1 in many countries and #3 in the US. Sometimes ratings and quality diverge.
