a couple from the country bears, and i really have some hostility for whatever bean counter at disney decided to shave costs by not decorating the bears for christmas, it's now 2 years in a row so historically that means it's never to be seen again, lack of public outcry 1. mama don't whip little buford, shoot him instead 2. bears finale [This attachment has been purged.

Country Bears was my grandfather's favorite attraction at WDW. The last one has good color and that was my problem last time. I took some pics of country bears last time I was there and it surprisingly wasn't as hard to shoot as I thought it would be. My camera doesn't perform well in low light but it did fine in country bears.
The Bears are well-lit while the theatre itself isn't. I really think Disney is going to see the Bears leave WDW sooner rather than later. Maybe when Adventureland becomes Piratesland? DL: They got rid of the Bears to add Pooh, even though they had a proposal on the table to add Pooh to the defunct Motorboat Cruise river that still sits vacant to this day, a victim of the "must close one ride to open another at a Disney park" philosophy that used to reign supreme under Emperor Eisner.
I hope not. That is too good of an attraction to get rid of. Fortunately its in Frontierland, so the possible re-theming of Adventureland shouldn't affect it.
I think Jim Hill's comments re: the Christmas redo in this week's MDP hit the nail on the head. Audio-animatronics don't capitivate the audiences like they used to. "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln" would be a bomb in today's market. Besides, what theme park attraction-based movie was the worst bomb for WDP? (And almost killed their highly successful trilogy of another)
