Welcome to today's Blog Hop with Lisa from Babes in Disneyland. It's themed "Shine A Light." I thought about asking one of my Disney Blogger friends to do a guest post and shine a light on them, but decided against it. I do love all my blogging buddies, but I wanted to "Shine A Light" on someone else. Today, the spotlight will shine on my mom, Kay, or as the grandkids call her, KK.
I asked my mom to write a guest post for several reasons. The first is the fact that she, and my dad, introduced me to Walt Disney World in 1983 during our first trip when I was 9. We've made so many wonderful family memories together at the World. It only made sense to shine a light on her. I look forward to sharing more memories in 41 days as she and I take C-man to WDW together! Second, when I first started my blog, my mom was my only fan and reader! She would read and comment. It meant more than she knows for her to do that. I would call her to ask her advice on blog topics, or get her to help me remember details of a memory or get her to proof read entries. She has always supported me and my endeavors and this blog is no exception. The final reason I asked her to guest post is because she has had the experience of seeing Yehaa Bob in person and I haven't! I think he is such a great hidden gem at Walt Disney World and others need to know about him! So for this post, you are now reading:
In June, my husband and I spent one night in Walt Disney World as we made our way to Fort Lauderdale for a wedding. This was our first trip to the most magical place on Earth without any accompanying children, so it was a new experience for us. We were able to do some things that we could not afford to take the entire family, like the Luau at the Polynesian and a round of golf. But the highlight of the trip was visiting Bob Jackson, better known as YeHaa Bob, at Port Orleans Riverside Resort.I asked my mom to write a guest post for several reasons.

"A Disney KK's Thoughts!"

KK is in the green! |

He performs in the River Roost Lounge at Port Orleans Riverside, Wednesday through Saturday nights beginning at 8:30 and ending around midnight with two different shows. Don’t let the fact that this is a bar keep you from taking your children. The show we went to was very family/child friendly with audience participation and sing alongs.

I feel certain YeHaa Bob will be on our list for every visit we make to Walt Disney World. Did I mention it was free? But if you take up a seat, you might want to buy something to eat and drink! For more information about YeHaa Bob, check out these websites:
