Canadian Holiday Voyageurs

[Dizzytime]

We're lucky enough to be able to come back to Disney World in a few days, and sure looking forward to experiencing the "Festival of the Holidays" at Epcot for the first time. Last time we were there for the Christmas season, a while back for sure, seems like Off Kilter had just been let go (still miss them so much!!) but I think that the group preforming as the 'Canadian Holiday Voyageurs' had members of Off Kilter in it. Wondering if anyone knows if that's still true? I think I've seen that the 'Canadian Holiday Voyageurs' are scheduled to perform again this season, so would be fun to think that's still the case.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope it's a magical day for you all !

Hello
I did some digging and found out that the Canadian Holiday Voyageurs will include some members of Off Kilter. Sorry, thats all I could get. It only indicated "some", not "all".

Have a lovely trip! Im jealous!

Wow! That's great to hear! I know things can change, but would be great to see some Off Kilter members again playing on the Mill Stage! Always been a fan of all the live music/entertainment at Disney World, and especially World Showcase, but like many have been disappointed in the changes and cutbacks over the last years.
My heart still yearns for the days of bopping around WS hearing The British Invasion, Off Kilter, seeing the World Showcase Players, and I even miss Mo'Rockin! It kept it so lively and fun, and the BEST was to cap it off with seeing the Tapestry of Nations Parade! Still have that wonderful 'world-style music' song engraved in my brain... was just so appropriate for the whole magical setting.
Ah, that lack of sound for a second was my heart skipping a beat...
Anyway, whatever is going on we will enjoy, that's for sure, and we do feel so lucky to enjoy some of special Disney Magic that is Christmas.
Thank you so much, goofyintoronto! It was very kind of you to dig around for that and post your reply.

The members of Off Kilter who play with CHV each December are Jason Thomas and Billy Varnes.

Jason and Billy were playing at PO-FQ until the recent Scat Cat's Club refurbishment. We will be glad to see them in a week at Canada. Agreed about Off Kilter, the British Invasion with the Beatles costumes., and Tapestry of Nations (Dreams), Still miss the Living Statues in France.

Thanks WEDWDW and Laura's Dad! We are definitively looking forward to seeing the CHV, whoever is playing with them, but will be extra special to see anyone from Off Kilter back on that stage!
We're finishing our packing and can't believe will be in Disney World tomorrow night. Wow, it's goin' to be all Christmas all the time! That suits me just fine, and can't wait to be engulfed in it.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Just got back from our wonderful! Disney World stay. We did get to see the Canadian Holiday Voyageurs a few times! and they were really great! Especially enjoyed seeing Jason and Billy because of the Off Kilter connection! I had forgotten about the number of rotating members required to be able to play that many shows/day seven days a week, but have to say all are very talented and a pleasure to hear.
One thing I noticed is they play the same songs every set, so not sure that is something new but wish that was different. Got to see and enjoy the British Revolution too, and pretty much the same case with them, so it may be a Disney-thing to make performances identical and scripted... like a ride maybe? where you have the same experience every time no matter when you go?
Anyway..thanks again to all who replied. We had such a wonderful time there, and a lot was due to the music and entertainment that I asked about here.
Sure hope you all are having a magical day!
