Welcome to the first stop aboard
Magical Blogorail Red. Enjoy the ride as we share with you the live Disney
resort entertainment that we can't wait to see again.
If you remember the opening tongue
twister and the admonition to be careful of your pronunciation, you are
familiar with the live entertainment I'm most looking forward to my next trip
to the "world".
Ye Haa Bob Jackson performs at the
River Roost in my favorite resort, Port Orleans Riverside, and has been since
1997. He can be seen most Wednesdays through Saturdays beginning at 8:30 pm
(the best show for children) and until around Midnight.
I am such a fan of Ye Haa Bob.
First, he is a great entertainer, and live shows at Walt Disney World are a
very special part of the Disney experience. His work is very audience-focused,
as immersive as any show can be. He loves to learn about the audience, and
spends time before he opens doing just that… and then recalls names and
celebrations during his performance.
Bob Jackson is also very generous
with his time on stage, and his enthusiasm spreads throughout the audience.
Everyone gets involved; and you can always be guaranteed many in the crowd are
repeat visitors since they are very familiar with his routines; this helps the
first-timers be comfortable participating with everyone else.
You should remember to arrive early
for table space, although I’ve enjoyed sitting at the bar. There are snacks to
purchase and drinks of course, but have dinner before you get there to make the
most of the evening. Space is a premium here, probably no more than 100 seats,
but some standing room is available and seats will turnover during the evening.
Did you know that Bob Jackson, as
much as he is known for his comedy routines, audience participation, and
rocking piano, is also a graduate of the Cincinnati Conservatory in Music
Composition. Bob writes and performs original compositions like this one below
called “The Evening Beam”.
Bob is constantly on the move. If not trying to keep up with his
rocking piano, he’s standing up on the bench and chairs, moving in and around
of his stage area, and just having fun. He also loves to take pictures with
guests, offering his head on your shoulders and funny faces to remember him by.
Don’t worry if you don’t know the words during the sing-alongs. He
will take you word-for-word through songs like “Sarah Sarah” that I opened this
post with. (Just, don’t mess it up!). And when he chimes in with his bugle
(many times each show), your response is a Tarzan-like chest thumping and
“Charge”. You’ll learn more the routine and audience responses when you make
your way to this great night out for the whole family.

Great post, Bruce! I love listening to Bob - he's such a great entertainer!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun post Bruce!! A must see for sure.
ReplyDeleteI love see Bob perform! He is so fun! On one of our trips, he pulled a chair up to our table and my husband and I had a very nice chat with him. I consider him one of the hidden treasures of Disney resorts!
