The first I heard about it was from Mike. And it doesn't look like these lumberjacks meet that description.

Only watched 2 minutes of the video--and maybe 3 minutes of the TV show I'm about to bring up--but this whole act makes me think TDO is going for a Duck Dynasty vibe without touching the politics of the actual clan. Like somebody saw all the branded crap last Christmas and thought, "let's capitalize on that."
Seriously, tho, in just 5 years Celebrate Tonight has gone from an embarrassment to the Silver Age of Live Disney Entertainment.

I'm hoping that Disney corporate is made aware of the situation soon.

They rather missed the whole point of the Robertson family, then, for a completely superficial (and very poorly executed) portrayal.
Given what I've seen of the Lumberjack show on Youtube (above), I can't see it lasting very long anyway.
We gave up Off-Kilter for this?

Nah, I think it's more a case of someone bringing in a cheap act to make themselves look better and it blew up in their face.
I give this 5 more weeks till they pull the plug.

That's the line of BS being promoted.
Maybe that's what the new manager is trying to do but its backfiring quick.

Somebody must have wanted to watch it twice since this group and their act already existed.

Voices of Liberty are, and always have been, Equity performers.

C'mon now my love, you KNOW I dont do camping out overnight. I do admit to mutiple shows in a day to the point of one time asking " So are you taking out a restraining order anytime soon??" The Boys got a big kick out of that one. The Smores are a great idea, we can use the poor logs that the lumberjacks have been working with as fuel for the campfire!!!! I like it, I like it a lot!!!!!!! MarieDon't lie Marie. On many occasions you brought a tent, sleeping bag and roasted smores over an open fire in front of the stage.

This isn't their regular act Paul Bunyon has in other locations. It's missing log rolling, log running, tree climbing, and something else called spring-boarding(?). Half the show is missing here. If I were to judge by this show what their others around the country are like, I'd have to say their success had to be based off of being in tourist traps areas. Not the message they want to send out I'm sure.
But that's because you see this stuff on every street corner where you are from.

That assumes that they care as anything is 'good enough' for the rubes who visit WDW. Recall the utter contempt the TWDC executive management has for the parks and guests.

Sorry for the delay! Been at work all day. I definitely wasn't alluding to anything, it was just my speculation about the acts already there. Voices of Liberty is indeed Equity. However, VoL has it's roots firmly planted. Not only do they participate in Candlelight every year, but their talents are used throughout WDW. The performers from VoL are the same voices you'll hear in Wishes actually. VoL has earned it's tenure...it's not going anywhere.
Maybe he really doesn't like bluegrass music.

That's what I thought. Was just looking for clarification as your original post stated "All Equity (or shows including Equity) acts at Epcot were let go at the end of their contract". Was confused as I was pretty sure VoL was indeed Equity.

Wait a second... Disney wanted to be environmentally friendly with the Illuminations fireworks and therefore got rid of the screamers...
So now they have a lumberjack show that is going to do what else... kill more trees... Which isn't really environmentally friendly...
Anyone else see a problem here?
Never fear, they aren't killing more trees, as I said in another thread, they're going to use the trees they ripped out of the Magic Kingdom.
