Who's Yehaa Bob?


I was shocked and horrified when a fellow Team Voicer asked me today..."What is Yehaw Bob?" I won't mention any names, but we all know and love her, and I think she is the only Team Voicer who actually lives south of the World.


The question was posed as a result of my trip plan that I posted. I listed Yehaa Bob as my last thing to do Thursday night. Actually I misspelled his name as Yehaw Bob...yes he spells it Yehaa.


To answer the question...Yehaa Bob, or Bob Jackson to his friends, is a pianist who performs on certain nights at Port Orleans Riverside. To categorize him as a pianist is an understatement. He is a one man show. He is a musician, comedian, and all around good guy!! Bob's high energy shows are all about audience participation, and he doesn't usually have a problem getting them involved.


Let me clarify that I'm not actually speaking from personal experience. I have never seen Yehaa Bob in person, I've only seen videos and heard reviews from podcasters and Disney fans. I also did some research by heading over to his website: http://www.yehaabob.com/


I have stayed twice at Port Orleans Riverside and I didn't even know this guy existed. The marathon trip will be my third time staying, and I don't intend on missing him again.

I've never seen him, but he is on my to do list for the marathon trip. I've heard so many good things...

I never would have known about him without listening to podcasts. It just goes to show that even if you've been to WDW a lot, there are still some undiscovered gems that you can still experience!

have heard about him through the various podcasts (Skipper Ben on Inside the Magic did something recently I think....) Sounds like a great show and will definitely have to check it out at some point...perhaps will join you Thursday night ;-)
