Disney Parks Teases Romeo McGrowl’s Return And People Are Losing It

While Disney Parks was just about giving a wink and a nod to the return of a seriously beloved character, that said, the internet today is buzzing with all sorts of activity! An official Instagram account has gone ahead to drop a rather cryptic yet hype-generating teaser video that featured a little bit of charm from the bear Romeo McGrowl from the Country Bear Jamboree, along with the caption: ‘A little commotion for Romeo McGrowl, please! 💋🎶🌹 #DisneyWorld #CountryBears #DisneyCharacters.’ And everyone indeed brought forth that commotion.

Comments went off like a confetti cannon at a Disney parade. Some got nostalgic, like @dapperonthedaily saying, ‘I miss the Country Bear Jamboree soooo much🥹🥹😭😭😍😍.’ Others like @arcee_nightlight ran full-throttle with: ‘PLEASE TELL ME WE’LL BE GETTING NEW COUNTRY BEAR PLUSHIES!!’ Meanwhile, the third Philadelphia-grade Disney enthusiast, @3disneymouseketeers, keeps it sweet and brief by saying, ‘We can’t wait to see Romeo 😍!!!’

Then, @togethermakingmagic gave the real tea on why Romeo isn’t at Disneyland. He gushed about the Country Bear Jamboree opening in Magic Kingdom in 1971 and the Disneyland version opening in 1972 but closing in 2001, while being at Tokyo Disneyland as well. The update to Country Bear Musical Jamboree will entail the bears perform Disney hits in bluegrass style, which sounds like downright chaos.

@alexa_yoder_ gave out the real MVP comment: ‘This is the best thing to happen recently OUR LOVER BOY IS HERE.’ And then @youcouldcallmejess just nailed the vibe, noting Romeo’s ‘Biiig Elvis energy hereeee a coincidence? I think not😌😏.’ Very true.

@caroni_c voiced the question of anyone not quite trying to stay current: ‘Will he be out for meet and greets?’ So far, Disney has not confirmed, but it would be a miss if they wouldn’t. Then @chadsiegel1 sparked off a Disney+ series because, real talk, the Country Bears need their own lore expanded.

Just pure joy flooded the replies, with @riahtouille yelling in lowercase frenzy: ‘im obsessed i love him i love him,’ while @that.one.chill.seamstress unleashed a full keyboard smash: ‘I LOVE HIS SO MUCH GUYS IM FLOORED HE LOOKS SO GREAT! All my love to Romeo mcgrowl 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖.’

Exact details haven’t been relayed by Disney yet, but it’s obvious: Romeo McGrowl’s comeback is on par with culture reset: new plushies, meet-and-greets, and just the sheer disruption of that bluegrass-singing-Disney-bear-who-meet. People are ready, and if Disney does not deliver, let’s just say the internet won’t be too pleased. For now, if not forever, this train has left the station with everyone on board.
