Revue & Medicine Show
- The Diamond Horseshoe Revue was sponsored by Del Monte from 1979 - 1984
- The show's two hosts were Wildcat Kate and Dr. Bill Ya Later
- The Diamond Horseshoe Revue was a wild west, saloon-style show that opened with the rest of the Magic Kingdom in 1971. Once of the few free attractions in the park, this one-hour show was held about seven to ten times per day. The show featured dancing girls, comedians, a Traveling Troubadour, Dr. Bill Ya Later, and foot-stompin' sing-along songs. In 1986, the show was renamed the "Diamond Horseshoe Jamboree" and now required a complimentary ticket and reservation. As of April 7, 1995, reservations were no longer required. In addition to the show, table service food was available, but was a limited menu of snacks and sandwiches.
- The show changed its name once again to the "Diamond Horseshoe Saloon Revue" and changed to a counter-service restaurant. However, food was only available to guests attending the show.
- The Revue and its can-can dancers closed their saloon doors for good with their last performance being held on February 1, 2003. The show has since been replaced by "Goofy's Country Dancin' Jamboree!", which is a standing-room only, interactive song and dance party featuring the characters from Toy Story 2 such as Woody, Jessie and Bullseye.
- "The Diamond Horseshoe Revue" variety show set in the Old West used to play throughout the day, but normally required reservations, as the theater served meals before the show, which usually booked up quickly. Today, however, the show is known as "Goofy's Country Dancin' Jamboree." And although it plays in the same Diamond Horseshoe Saloon that the "Diamond Horseshoe Revue" once played, the two shows are nothing alike. There are no more tables, no more food, and no more reservations needed. The 20-minute show, geared mainly to children, plays several times a day.
- The Jamboree has now since closed and was at one time a meet and greet area for Woody and friends from Toy Story. Today, the Horseshoe remains closed and is only used for private, corporate events.
