A Country Bear Breakfast????

OK, how does something like that sound? You could totally do it in the Diamond Horseshoe location. Serve country breakfast - eggs, grits, flapjacks, biscuits, country gravy (not my thing but people seem to like them), etc. Coffee, juice, tea, etc.

Your entertainment would be a mix of the Hoop De Doo performers and several Country Bears. Obviously you would have to do the walk around characters, though I started thinking of the idea when I was thinking about the Mineral King version of the attraction - a dinner show but with animatronic bears, and how awesome it might be to enjoy the Country Bear Jamboree over a meal. Am I crazy, or would that not rock? A unique take on character breakfast - wouldn't this work?

Thoughts?

That sounds like something that might be very popular. And a good use for the old theater. The biggest problem would be the pricing of the food. I know the cost keeps me and my family from experiencing most, if not all, of the character dining shows because it is just too darned expensive. And out in California they have adjusted the price and offerings of the Celebration Round-up BBQ show several times in order to boost attendance. It would be a fun show - although I enjoyed going to the Diamond Horseshoe and having a sandwich or just a drink and watching that awesome show as well.

I would love a Country Bear Jamboree breakfast! I think it's something that could appeal to boys and girls, and that is good.

You could totally keep the price in line - not this 34.99 nonsense. The type of breakfast is simple enough that something under 19.99 is totally feasible. You could even do 14.99 or something like that. The whole idea is to get numbers in there - keep it low.

I love this idea.
There are so many Princess meal choices, which is delightful of course, but I've always thought there should be something appealing to boys, large and small, and the Bears would be it.
If McD can do the Big Breakfast platter, eggs, sausage, biscuit, pancakes, hash browns, for around $4, and you tack on another $10 for entertainment, and another $5 for maintaining the HoopDeDoo location...and they are already doing this food in the Fort anyway...then $20ish would get people in, fed, entertained, and talking about the "new" F&B attraction.
I like it.
(and every table, downstairs only seating, one seating only, could get a group picture of the bears, and as the bears move from table to table they could stamp a paw print on the picture.
I really like it.

I've been thinking more about this.
It could be cost effective for Disney, they have the facility, it's empty in the morning, they already make the breakfast, the bus is running in the Fort and the boats are running to and from the other hotels, so transportation is not an issue.

I think they should do it and I hope they do it soon...just add some fresh fruit, a fruit cup maybe, and start the morning with a lively HoopDeDoo.

My late Grandfather would have loved this idea

OK - sounds like a great idea. I love the idea of a country bear breakfast. I hope Disney is reading this and starts to at least think about it. Maybe they don't really want to appeal to little boys, I mean, look at what they are doing with Fantasyland. I think Princesses are wonderful and fun and going inside the castles will be really neat, but other than expanding Dumbo - is there ANYTHING for a little boy? Wow - I really got off on a tangent.
Anyway, I like the idea of something with the bears. Imagine the photos you could take with Big Al and Liverlips McGrowl.

Country Bear breakfast. It gave me a very different mental picture! I thought they got fired!

I think this is a great idea. They need someone like you to become an imagineer.

It's funny, I was just talking about this the other day. When I was a kid, my family went to the Fort Wilderness Campground to go to a dinner show. It was in a cabin style dining place and I could have sworn that the show was the Country Bear Jamboree. Does anyone else remember the Country Bears at a dinner show in Fort Wilderness Campground?

I'd like the idea but why not open it up to all meals not just breakfast?
