Here we have a card that had a new version for yet another reason, though you could also look at it as a combination of two previous reasons, "a new outfit", and a new attraction. The new attraction was in reality a re-vamp of an old favorite. The Country Bear Jamboree had been an early favorite at the Magic Kingdom, so much so that it often had long lines, perhaps, that was part of the reason for developing a new show, after all a new show would not only give a new experience for folks whom had visited the attraction before, but if it was shorter would also be able to serve more guests by having an increased number of performances per day. In The Country Bear Vacation Hoedown many of the bears are costumed for their own vacations as is Big Al in the post card featured above on the right.

Below, we have the two Baloo and King Louie views released in this series. The card on the left is the same card that we saw at the beginning of this chapter, the card that had a very similar standard size card issued in the pervious series that was from the same photo session even. This card at least is from a different photo session, how can I be sure of that? Look at Louies feet to the inside of both his feet in the left shot, (our left not his) you can see one toe set far back on the foot, in the other shot (on our right) you can see there is no toe there, so, obviously Louie had his toenails clipped before this session. Right?
