As the "Canadian Holiday Voyageurs".

I hope they have a great crowd!

Welcome back guys!

Looks like that article is from 2013.

That's great, WED. Here is another report.

Sure would be nice if they could come back as OK after the Christmas season.

Dan I read it twice and still don't see any mention of OK

The Voyageurs, last year, were made up of the OK guys. It could be, since OK is no longer part of Epcot, that the 2014 Voyageurs may be comprised of other than OK members.

...New Experiences Coming to Holidays Around the World at Epcot: For the 2014 holiday season, new Holidays Around the World experiences in Mexico, Morocco, and China join returning favorites such as “Joyful! A Gospel Celebration of the Season,” the Canadian Holiday Voyageurs, and of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus....

Got it, thanks !

Well,Dan there is some interesting news now.

Even though Steve shows both the Lumberjacks and CHV sharing The Mill Stage during HATW,there are now reports that the Jacks are on "hiatus" until January 4.

My guess is that they just decided it wasn't feasible for both groups to share The Mill Stage,but you never know.

Hopefully crowds for CHV will be HUGE and Disney will reverse their decision on OK-it doesn't hurt to dream!

I seem to recall someone suggesting that they both share the stage -- at the same time.

Something like that might actually make bagpipes interesting...

Never had the chance to see OK, but we watched the Lumberjacks show and didn't find it super appealing. I wouldn't be sad if it was replaced by something else, OK or not...

Under the heading of 'everything is relative', we saw a lot of the Off Kilter- 'Canadian Holiday Voyageurs' last December and although it was enjoyable, most of my thoughts were that I missed the regular OK performance.

Now, my thinking is as long as it's Off Kilter, GIVE ME 'Canadian Holiday Voyageurs'!! Ha! Funny, sure never knew how much I liked the 'Canadian Holiday Voyageurs' until Off Kilter was let go.

Would be so nice to have Off Kilter back in any shape or form, and yes would be great to think they would return full time eventually, too.

Maybe that was the strategy...?

It is not all of Off Kilter. I understand the bagpipe player won't be there for example. But I understand the "singer" will once again be SCREAMING into the microphone so you won't realize she can't sing!

 

[WEDWDW]

I understand the bagpipe player won't be there for example.

That's a shame.

Jamie was part most of most ofCHV's shows last year-he just didn't play the Pipes.

Sorry to hear he won't be there at all this year.

At one of the last shows he announced he had a job with the Orlando Fire Dept so... I guess it's hard to do a full time gig at Disney too. A friend told me she heard Randy won't be there either as he now has a full time job, but I am not sure that one's true. Guess we will find out this weekend

Randy wasn't at British Bonfire Night,so that very well may be the case.

Sad to see the guys going their separate ways.

Randy was at British Bonfire Night:

I heard he has a full time job with Disney as a tech, so he won't be participating in the CHV.

Thanks!

Great to hear Randy is still with Disney!

In a kilt . (What's a tech?)

If anyone is going to the shows today,I would be interested in knowing which OK members are participating.

Since it is being reported that Jamie and Randy won't be there,I am wondering if Billy and some of those guys will be there.

Thanks.
