From WDWMagic:
It is being strongly tipped that this year, the long running Country
Bear Christmas Special will not take place. Various reasons have
been put forward, including the thought that the cost of the
Christmas makeover does not translate into increased attendance for
the attraction. From what we have been told, this does not indicate
an end for the regular Country Bears show, but for this year at
least, there will be no Christmas special, unless there is a last
minute change of plan.
_----------------------------------------------------------
I've been doing a bit of thinking on this. Given the fact that they
refurbed the three Henry AAs within the past two years(Stage 2 Henry
in 2004, and the other two earlier this year), they probably
originally only had enough cash to only fix one or two bears a year
and do the Christmas changeover. By sacrificing the Christmas
Special this year, they MIGHT be saving up to do a larger scale
refurb in the future, due to all the problems that have popped up in
this past year(Trixie's eyes from last August, Liver Lips' akward
head position, him and Al making sucking noises, the finale BGM
conking out, etc.)
But this is only my guess folks. Here's hoping for the positive
outcome...
