Critter Country
Encyclopedia : C : CR : CRI : Critter Country
Critter Country is one of the "themed lands" at the Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland parks run by The Walt Disney Company.
Disneyland
At Disneyland, this area was initially named Indian Village and featured Native American shows and attractions. In 1972 it became Bear Country, a land themed to the forests of the Pacific Northwest, and was home to the new Country Bear Jamboree. Bear Country was renamed to Critter Country in 1988 just before Splash Mountain's original opening was slated in January '89.
Critter Country is also home to the Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes. In 2002, the Country Bear Jamboree was replaced with The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
Tokyo Disneyland
When Splash Mountain opened at Tokyo Disneyland, Critter Country was specifically created for it. The only other attraction in this area is the Beaver Brothers Explorer Canoes. Because of the land's small size and the popularity of Splash Mountain, Critter Country is extremely crowded throughout the day.
