1970s Big Al: Country Bear Jamboree, Disney World Florida

Step into the lively, whimsical world of Disney with this vintage postcard featuring Big Al, the beloved animatronic bear from the classic Country Bear Jamboree. With his red vest, cowboy hat, and slightly out-of-tune guitar, Big Al steals the spotlight in Frontierland’s fun-filled hoedown, bringing humor and charm to every performance. The card captures the playful spirit of early 1970s Walt Disney World, letting you hold a piece of Disney magic in your hands.

Big Al was modeled after Disney storyman Al Bertino and is famously known for his slow, comical rendition of “Blood on the Saddle.” The Country Bear Jamboree attraction opened at Walt Disney World in 1971 and at Disneyland in 1972, quickly becoming a favorite for its singing, swinging, guitar-playing bears. This postcard also evokes the joys of family vacations of the era, including visits to Fort Wilderness and boat rides to the Magic Kingdom.

An official Walt Disney Productions postcard, this card is part of a series celebrating the parks in the early 1970s. Postmarked from 1971 to 1973, it’s a fun collectible for Disney fans, theme park enthusiasts, or anyone who loves classic animatronic characters. It’s a cheerful reminder of the laughter, music, and storytelling that made Disney attractions unforgettable, capturing a moment of pure Frontierland fun you can enjoy anytime.

This vintage postcard would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
