I am so shocked to see off kilter discontinued for some stupid lumberjack show. Did Disney forget that there are little kids there and they could be terrified of the sound of chainsaws. But most of all I am really upset that they got rid of Mo'Rockin. I was seeing them for 8 years I would literally run to see their sets. And a Frozen ride replacing Maelstrom worst mistake I hope they reconsider those changes.

My family and I have LOVED and supported Off Kilter for 4 generations. We will NOT BE GOING TO SEE the replacement show that forced a popular band out of the world showcase. SHAME ON YOU DISNEY EXECUTIVES! Bring back Off Kilter

Music is the one thing that defines a countries history Groups like Off Kilter gave us a glimpse into the cultural heritage of Canada. All of the countries who lost their music have had them replaced by acts that con only represent one facet of their heritage. Bring back music

Disney made a huge mistake in replacing Off Kilter with a lumberjack show! What happened to doing the best for the guests? We want Off Kilter! I have been a passholder for many years. We spend most of our time at EPCOT enjoying the live music. We would bounce back and forth between Off Kilter and the British band spending the afternoon enjoying a drink or two and the great shows! I loved to hear the bagpipes from across the lake before the band would start. Now we can hear the wonderful sound of chainsaws! Not my idea of relaxing - I can do that at home when the gardeners come and clean my palm trees! The executive that made this decision obviously didn't know the guests very well!

By replacing Off Kilter you took away the heart and soul of Epcot, I chose not to renew my annual pass when they "retired" the band and many people will not be renewing as well. Disney has forgotten that the grown-ups are the ones who pay the bills and when we are unhappy which we are the money goes with us. I'm hoping that the people who made this terrible decision will come to their senses and bring Off Kilter back to Epcot where they belong

Thank you, Deb. That is exactly the issue with my husband. He suffered a brain injury last October. And while he has had miraculous recovery, fumes and loud, grating noise bothers him tremendously. He suffers from tinnitus, as well as migraines, that can be triggered by these things easily. My four year old is also sensitive to noises. This act is not sensitive to people with special needs. I know the chainsaws are only a small part of the act, but they are so loud, you can hear them clear across the lagoon. Imagine sitting in the audience, how loud that must be! And that's only one of the many things wrong with this "show."

My husband and I became DVC members 10 years ago, mostly because of Off Kilter. Not only are they a class act, they are also wonderful people! It is really very disheartening that Disney does not care what its guests love and enjoy. My husband and I were there a couple of weeks ago. I cannot tolerate noise such as chainsaws since my brain injury a year ago. Anyone who has had a brain injury, brain surgery, migraines, or is autistic, cannot handle that type of noise! It is excruciatingly painful for us! The fumes are another issue. This act is certainly not what people have come to expect from Disney! It belongs in a state or county fair, not in Epcot! Bring back Off Kilter!

OSHA requires ear protection for people who work around loud equipment. I should not need it tour Epcot. Not to mention dining to the roar of chainsaws and smell of gas. Way to ruin Food and Wine Disney

Disney needs to realize that they made a big mistake and they should bring back Off Kilter.

I'm a Premium Annual Pass holder and frequent visitor to Epcot. It is (or was) my favorite park because of the live entertainment. The only "new entertainment offering" I've seen so far is the lumberjack act, but it's not really much of an act. It's some guys cutting wood. I couldn't see much entertainment value in it. It reminds me of a low quality reality show. It's certainly not the world class act that used to be on stage at the Canada Pavilion. In my opinion, Epcot was much better before the changes. Judge for yourself. Both the new lumberjack act and the old act, Off Kilter, can be seen on YouTube.

Please Disney Bring back Off Kilter. Just think of the advertising you could do. Hey how about Back by Very Popular demand, you asked we listened theme. Or The "Bagpipes are back" Think of the long long lines of people buying tickets to get into EPCOT just to see them again. Cash registers ringing as people buy the CD's and T-shirts and why not Make OK bobble heads and hats. See there is something in bringing them back for both of us. Money for Disney and Great Entertainment for the family's Please hear us. You made a mistake it's ok. We will forgive you just please bring back Off Kilter. PLEASE!!!!

I'm Canadian i heard that they sre no Canadians on the lumberjack show. How does that represent Canada. I want my music back. Love off kilter.

Disney had made a.mockery of entertainent with the lumberjack show over off kilter.What were they thinking.$$$$ over live music. Send the lumberjacks to a county fair. They will be welcome there. Too loud. Too smelly,no showmanship. Not coming back tio Epcot until they make it worth the $$$$$ I spend tio visit. Went to universal this past weekend and saw live music there. Will be going back. Butterbeer here I come. Really good food venues too.BRING BACK OFF KILTER!

Wow lumberjacks????? this is not good or entertaining, just noisy and smelly. Does not belong at EPCOT or Disney. Not anyway near as entertaining as Off Kilter and family/people act. Very disturbing noise thru out the countries. Sad

I'm still in disbelief that they replaced Off Kilter with this county-fair lumberjack act. I've seen racing pigs with more showmanship.
This is a black mark on Disney entertainment, which until recently was a huge reason I frequented the parks. These "replacements" were brought on for cost-cutting, plain and simple-not to "refresh" as their official statements keep saying.
Off Kilter deserves to return to Epcot. With this change I don't see myself returning to the parks as often, and Epcot very seldom. There's not much left for single, childless people who don't wish to get drunk, to do there.

I have been visiting Disney world for over. 25 years and at least twice a year and sometimes four times . I am a long time DVC member . Epcot was my favorite park to go and listen to the musical entertainment and then enjoy a great dinner in one of the countries . It no longer has that appeal to me ! They are replacing the best entertainment with inferior acts that do not any pleasure to the Disney experience . I prefer singing to chainsaws !! Will not be spending my time or money at Epcot . Bring back the music !!! Off Kilter and Mo Rockin were wonderful !!!! Who is next ... British revolution !!!

These are my feelings exactly; Epcot was a huge let down; I feel I deserve a refund of at least 25% as my favorite part of WDW was gone. If I knew that ahead of time I would not have went. Won't be spending that much money next year

You will never get my family to sit and watch the lumberjack show. We moved t Florida from Kentucky to get away from this kind of hillbilly crap. With an open mind, we watched the show, in its entirety, from the comfort of our own home on YouTube. My children BEGGED me not to make them see it in person. It's awful. The quality is really bad. The jacks themselves, I don't care how long they've been doing this, they have no showmanship, whatsoever. My youngest child is sensitive to loud noises, and my husband is not only sensitive to the noises, but also sensitive to fumes. I couldn't take them to this show if I wanted to. Which I don't. Chainsaws do not belong in the world showcase. How are we supposed to teach the next generation to respect the environment if they walk into Disney and see trees mutilated for sport? He best part is if you go a few pavilions down and attend the show at the American Adventure you hear the words "any fool can destroy trees." Well apparently not ANY fool... Just high paid Disney execs. Disney, stop sending your managers out to babysit this sad excuse for entertainment, admit you made a mistake and bring back Off Kilter. You truly gave up the best in entertainment when you let them go.

I cannot believe Disney replaced their most popular act (Off Kilter) with a Lumberjack show! Not only is this NOT entertaining, it goes against Disney's principals of protecting the environment! (Or maybe they only want to sell "saving the environment" at Animal Kingdom...) They can say they plant 3 trees for every one cut - but I personally don't believe it. The act belongs in a county fair! It's not even close to being entertaining - and the smell and noise from the chainsaws is horrible! Whoever thought this act was worth hiring needs to be fired! Not only is the show below what my family expects from the world's best entertainment company, it begs the question, how does this show represent Canada?? (It's public knowledge that the show is actually the Paul Bunyon show out of St Cloud, FL... So the next question is this... Who at Disney personally knows this act and stands to gain from it?? I guess the next step is having a "largest hog competition" or maybe adding a "pie eating contest"! Didn't Off Kilter just win the Best Theme Park show for 2014 from Thrill Entertainment? Do the execs at Disney realize what they lost??

I will never waste the time to watch the lumberjack show. The noise and smell of this "show"doesn't fit basic premise of Epcot entertainment. It shouldn't include some hokey pseudo Canadians sawing wood. Even the YouTube video was impossible to watch til the end. Keep cheaping out, Disney, you're destroying Epcot.

My family and I attended a lumberjack show in Ketchikan Alaska while on a Disney Cruise in August. It was fun, especially for the kids. I am looking forward to seeing the show while I am at Epcot this weekend.

I was disappointed in the frozen snow ground. My daughter didn't want to wait in line for the rock hard "snow" they had packed in a sand box

some things in life are not entertainment. Watching people fish on tv, watching people cut wood anywhere.

Right on; this is beyond silly

LUMBERJACK SHOW REPLACE OFF KILTER? Disney, what a joke! I can watch my son do that in his back yard! This won't last long (or shouldn't)! Spend some money and bring back some good entertainment. People just walked away! Saw them twice. Will not be a third time!

The Lumberjack show feels and sounds like a trade show presentation. You can hear the Lumberjack show in the United Kingdom. I was at Epcot last week few stoped to watch many walked on. Corporate was watching and counting.
