Boom, boom, boom, boom, hello travelers. Welcome back to Walk About the World, your weekly audio stroll through the parks and resorts of Walt Disney World and Disneyland California. I'm Josh and we are, as you can hear, hanging out on Main Street USA. We're in the Hub. Looking at the castle. Listening to the water feature. Dancing to the music.

Everything you'd expect on Main Street USA. It's a good time. What's the plan today? Let me tell you. You all know a couple months ago we we hung out at the final, one of the final performances of the original Country Bear Jamboree. Well, today my plan is to head over to Frontierland, Grizzly Hall, and check out the new show. We'll bring you a little bit of the new show. For those of you who want to hear that, I haven't yet experienced it so I'm looking forward to it. Enough yapping. Let's have a walkabout. Looks like the castle's open, so...

Let's head that way. Let's go through the castle and into Fantasyland. Come on, Let's go Careful not to trip over the trolley tracks. Oh yeah, perfect. Are you going to be able to stand this all time? Right ahead. Looks like they're working on the stage. Castle stage is getting some refurb. Die Stadt ist eine der größten und größten Städte in Europa. It's nice when this is open because you can really get to see all the details in the castle which are quite lovely. The pink has kind of grown on me. But I do miss the all grey. Classic Cinderella castle. On the drawbridge. I'm not a musician. Oh no. That still feels good too. It's a trick.

I can't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so.

I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think so. Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa?

Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Narae, jose no ke basa? Beautiful mosaic on the left hand side as we walk through, telling the story of Cinderella. Certainly one of the most ornate mosaics on property. But not my favorite. Somehow my favorite is still, I think, the land. We have emerged on the other side in Fantasyland. Sir Mickey's to the right. Bibbidi-Bobbidi Boutique to the left.

Carousel straight ahead. Let's go take in some of that carousel. Thank you. Kampung Kampung Thank you. Pinocchio's Village House to the right. Peter Pan's Flight to the left. Still closed. closed We got boarded up walls all over Peter Pan's flight Which apparently is making the small world line directly across the way much longer. Hey travelers, can you smell that? It's the punsy potties. No, you can't smell it. It's good. Is it big right now? now That's your chance, yes or no? Are you going to eat the balloon? No. Really? Yes. I'm going to eat the balloon.

Oh, yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon. Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon. Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon. Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon.

Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon. Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon. Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon. Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon.

Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon. Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon. Yeah. I'm going to eat the balloon. Yeah. How many of you remember what used to be over here where the Rapunzel bathrooms are now Fantasyland Skyway Station and I loved it gave you a really cool view when you went over Fantasyland of the 20,000 leagues lagoon. I loved that. It was great. I miss it. Entering Liberty Square, Columbia Harbor House to the left. A very large line for the Haunted Mansion to our right. Let's see, have we got any sounds in Memento Mori? Let's go check it out.

Let's go see. The sound of tourists spending money. Nope, no sounds. From all the dead streets From all the dead streets From all the dead streets Twenty I'll follow you Come on Come on Come on Using that extended queue for mansion

How can we be sure we're in Liberty Square? That's right. Look down. We're walking in the poo trail. Oh, while we're here, that's what we'll do. We'll take a little detour since we're in Liberty Square. We just added something new. You may or may not have seen or read what that is, but I'm about to go check it out for myself. Walking towards Sleepy Hollow.

Hollow Presidents to the left. Feel the AC bursting out of the doors. It's across from Sleepy Hollow, the Freshman's stand, just above the old Christmas shop. The window, they added a really cool projection because the sign has always been there for music voice lessons from Ichabod Crane, the instructor. So they actually, 50 years later, added old Ichabod into the window. There's a nice little animation playing in the window. Ichabod Crane.

It's a nice little plus up for this area. Although the best plus up would be to bring back the Muppets. So look at Bug drinking his tea, eating some turkey, lighting his pipe. So I'm not sure if there's something that triggers it, but it doesn't stay up there the whole time. It goes out and then comes back so often. A nice little effect. Let's keep marching. Past the Liberty Tree and the Liberty Bell.

Heading into Frontierland. About to cross the mighty Mississippi. Listen for that music change. Thank you. Lama Ketika dianggap sebagai kota tersebut, dianggap sebagai kota tersebut. Yeah, for sure. I'm sorry. We are live. We are live. We are live. We are live. We are live. We are live. We are live. We are live.

We are live. We are live. We are live. We are live. We are live. I'm so sorry. Just moseying around Frontierland for a little bit. New signage looks great. Country Bear Musical Jamboree. Still a wild, really good time. Who's playing that, are you?

Oh, they're real cute. I'm going to try to get a picture of the It's a great little audio. I love it. We still make those. We still make those. I'm going to go to the next one. It's like that. Yeah. All right. I can't look down. It's so scary. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have more walls around the shooting gallery, former shooting gallery.

Signs up, says, get a good idea and stay with it. Dog it and work at it until it's done done right assuming those are Walt Disney boats new frontiers await it says another sign yep way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing it's weird though they put Walt Disney at the top. Usually when it's a quote, you would put the name at the bottom, but okay. It's a design choice, I guess. You ready for some bears?

Let's pop into the Country Bear Musical Jamboree. Welcome. Hi. Next show is about eight minutes. Thank you. I love this. They turn from the lobby, the waiting area, into a sort of little museum. Museum. Little Easter eggs and throwbacks to the original Country Bear show and ads. Some fun story elements to the bears. Fun ephemera. Big Al's touring vest.

Some art prints. touring vest, some offerings. I won't spoil it all for you but tour posters. Five bear rugs. Ted's washboard. There's a little teddy bear. Fred's first mouth harp.

I loved it. I really did. Smiles the whole time. And it really felt like something that, I mean, you can hear just from the kids and the families and everyone really enjoying it and having fun. There's a little kid behind me that said, I love Big Al. You know, little things like that. For me, it was just great to see the Bears

back and then, you know, have a constant smile on my face. But they look fantastic! Like, the movements and the, obviously, the costumes and everything, but they look amazing and the movements are amazing. They look so new and refreshed. So that's really nice to see. So I hope you guys get a chance to see it. I didn't spoil it with everything, but just enough to whet your whistle as we're... But talk about plussing up.
