Yehaa Bob at Port Orleans

We love us some Yehaa Bob!

Bob Jackson plays in the lounge at Port Orleans Riverside Resort. We go see Bob every year because he puts on an incredible show. Bob is an incredible piano player and entertainer. He plays Disney classics, favorites we learned growing up, and classics from the 70's that everyone knows. The crowd participation is amazing as he gets people on their feet and dancing. He even gets the "Manly Men", who would otherwise not be seen at such a show, to stand up front and do the YMCA and loving every minute of it. And he gets kids of every age, from young to college, up and dancing. Have that frowning teenager who wants to do nothing? Take him or her to this show and watch them light up and have fun. 

A favorite part this year: when Bob played a song from Frozen, a five year old girl stood up and did all the moves from the movie - it was very cute.

Bob's commitment to Disney and the kids is beyond comparison. Every year, he flies to our home town to put on a charity event for Give Kids The World. Give Kids The World is the arm of the Make A Wish foundation that answers the dreams of children with chronic illness who want to go to Disney. It is, in part, Bob's commitment to fund raising that helps make all this possible.

I encourage everyone to see Bob at the Port Orleans. He is a true Disney treasure and I wish everyone knew about his shows. Check his schedule to see what nights he plays. And arrive early to get a chair. If you don't get a chair, there is plenty of standing-room (or dancing room). And Bob does several back-to-back shows every night.
