Welcome back to planDisney, Nick!
We're so happy to hear that you'll be visiting Walt Disney World at the end of this month! I'm sure you're so excited that you can *bearly* wait!
Country Bear Musical Jamboree is one of my very favorite forms of entertainment at Magic Kingdom! I loved the old show, but wow, oh wow -- I ADORE the updates! If you haven't been since the refresh, you're sure in for a treat!
Big Al, Wendell, and Shaker have been wandering near Grizzly Hall for a while now, and I'm happy to let you know that Romeo McGrowl (a crowd-favorite) has just joined the lineup for meet-ups! I hope you get to see this handsome fellow. As far as I know (I checked with a Cast Member too), the Country Bears that wander around near Grizzly Hall currently will sign autographs and pose for photos, Nick! Please note, though, that as wandering characters may have to deal with crowds or leave for any sudden reason, the Cast Member assisting them may not allow for autographs or pictures if they are transitioning. Be polite and patient, and you'll most likely be able to get an autograph from these huggable characters!
Don't forget the *bear necessities* on your trip, Nick! You might need an umbrella, as we've been experiencing some afternoon rain showers recently. I recommend bringing a small one that will fit in your daypack.
If you have any additional questions, Nick, we're just a dream away at
planDisney!
See ya real soon,
Allyn
