Disney Dining Serving up the latest Disney Eats, Treats, News, and More!
Flashback to a year ago in September of 2020, we learned that the legendary performer, Yehaa Bob Jackson, was being let go after working 23 years at Walt Disney World. Yehaa Bob Jackson called the River Roost Lounge at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort home and played regularly as he used his talents to tickle the ivory keys, sing, and entertain happy Disney Guests. Now, we’re learning the exciting news that Yehaa Bob Jackson is RETURNING to Disney’s Orleans Resort!

COVID 19 shut down Walt Disney World, leaving many of the talented Cast Members that were entertainers without a position. In September 2020, Bob Jackson’s shared via his Facebook page: “And that’s how it ends, not with a bang but with a whimper. I’ve just learned my act will not be returning to Disney. I made so many friends over the last 23 years, it was a great time, we had a lot of laughs together. I’ll be continuing my Sunday shows for now. I’ll keep you posted, I’m still digesting all of this-“.
While attending the DIS Family Reunion 2021 at Walt Disney World to benefit Give Kids The World Village on September 9, Yehaa Bob Jackson shared via TikTok the big news that he would be making a comeback with the reopening of Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside on October 14!
Bob Jackson’s personal Facebook page posted a photo from the event stating: “Murphy and I tearing it up tonight at Give Kids the World!”
