Yehaa Bob Jackson has been bringing joy and entertainment to Walt Disney World for more than 20 years through his performances at Port Orleans Riverside’s River Roost Lounge.

Along with many other Cast Members being laid off, Bob was given the news today that Disney has chosen to end his act in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is understandable that Bob can’t perform his act with the current state of things, but to cancel his beloved show altogether is snuffing out a bright light of hope for the future of Port Orleans.

Bob has dedicated his life to sparking joy in his audiences. Attending Yehaa Bob’s shows is a tradition for many and his presence is a huge draw for Port Orleans when choosing a Disney resort. The happiness that he brings as an entertainer is truly unparalleled and his absence would be very sorely obvious.

Disney, please reconsider. Commit to bringing Yehaa Bob back to the River Roost as soon as pandemic conditions are safe enough to accommodate his show.
