I do think, however, that it is a pretty expensive overlay. So...not likely to happen in WDW.

I have the soundtrack and a shoddy DVD version someone made, but that's all there is for me. The only version of the Country Bears I've seen live is the Vacation Hoedown. Hey, at least you guys in Florida have the bears! And the Carousel of Progress. And the PeopleMover. And the Swiss Family Treehouse. And a character-free It's a Small World. The original park has gotten shafted.

DL getting the shaft doesn't compute, especially considering how far WDW has fallen.

(I only ever get to Disneyland / WDW between September and January.) But I did really enjoy this particular overlay when I saw it.

I just enjoyed the Christmas version last week, and was listening for interfering theme music as has been reported online. Not only did I NOT hear any interfering music, but I was again amazed that anyone has the slightest problem with the new additions that were done entirely in the May Blair style. No one not specifically looking for them could possibly tell that they hadn't been there since the beginning.

I really miss this attraction. Always love seeing it when I visit WDW.
