Readers' rating:

It's a rootin' tootin' good time, for a nap! 3/10 - Eric Cartman

This is the attraction that I think is already way past its prime. All the AA's are dated and this show needs to close. 3/10 - Christopher Sturniolo

Great eye-candy. A nice outdated but great show! - Brendan Harrison

Not something I would go and watch on every visit but good fun every now and again. Songs are funny in parts but thats about it. Didn't find it creepy though - James McGee

Its a weak show. I dont recommend seeing it. I feel like Im at a Chucke Cheese show without the food. Plus during a certain song everyone claps along, sometimes even stand up. STAY SEATED AT ALL TIMES! 3/10 - Dominick D

3/10. It's a classic show at the Magic Kingdom, but I can't sit through another show with these bears. Families can have fun, but I've spent way too much time with them. - Nick Dakuginow

I dunno, there's one little thing sitting with the band that looks to be the result of some horrific bear/human breeding experiment gone terribly wrong. - Marc Ricketts

This would have been rated a little lower in my book a few years ago, but since the audio refurb they did not too far back it has much improved. This is a hidden gem. People often don't listen to the words of the songs for the hilarity they contain. Also, as far as tradition, this was Walt's last laugh. The idea, albeit for a different purpose, was shown to him before he left the office for the last time before he died. - Tom Rigg

strange. and quite tongue in cheek. I was expecting the vacation version that used to be in Disneyland and was kinda creeped out by the original version. I won't be going back. - Victoria Jurkowski

Cute and funny. I had not seen this show since I was a kid and I finally saw it again after 30 years. It was just as I remembered. Why did I ignore this show for so long? It brought back sweet childhood memories. - Laura Daspit

Good ol' campy fun. My first visit was in January 2010 but I can tell this one has not changed much and that is just fine. - Christian Baggett

After many visits to WDW, we finally made some time to stop in and see this show. In the words of my 5-year-old "that was really creepy". Either we just didn't get the country humor because we are from the suburbs, or the songs and script were really, really bad. Wouldn't even see this again just to escape the heat! - Joanie Cruz

My favorite MK experince! I've enjoyed the bears since I was kid and still do. The songs are catchy, the bears are funny, and it's just a great time overall. It's great during a parade or just to get away from the hot sun. - Jay Glenn

A great and fun way to cool down, especially if you have smaller children. Again it could benefit from some new material. - Brandie S

While a step up from your average Chuck E. Cheese show, this attraction is certainly past its prime. The sound level in the theater is way too low and the crowd noise drowns out most of the act. However, I am not sure that's such a bad thing... - James Rao
