Bob Jackson @ Port Orleans

To those who have seen Bob, will our 6 year old like him? Is he too risque for children? Having never seen him, I'm not sure. I hear wonderful things about him though.

Your 6 year old will love him. Some of his later stuff (after 10 maybe) might be considered a little more for adults, but I wouldn't classify it as risque.
My son, 11, has seen most of his show and has been going for years now.

I can't speak for the later show, but for the earlier show Bob likes to get the kids involved by singing a lot of kid-friendly songs ("Green Grass Grew All Around" for example) and he gets the moms and dads to do the hokey pokey. Fun for all! If you visit his website at http://www.yehaabob.com/about.html you can see three short videos of Bob in action (scroll down just a little; they're in about the center of the page). Also, if you go to the early show get there a bit early because tables go quickly.

Does he have 2 shows everynight? If so, what times and does people from the early show leave so others can enjoy or do they continue to sit?

I think he starts around 8 pm and continues to approx. midnight. It is one continuous show with small breaks between the sets. Most people claim a table and don't leave until later in the evening. The lounge gets full fairly quickly and stays that way most nights.

My son, 6, loved Bob on our last trip in April. It got to the point where we'd be in the parks and as the sun would go down, he's ask if we could go back to watch Bob ... lol. Nuff said

Bob is an absolute must see for DH and I - he really gets the crowd going - age doesn't matter. We usually see him at least 2x on our annual trips.

"Don't worry - you'll never see any of these people again!"

GO!

Your 6YO will LOVE, LOVE, LOVE him....

I went to DTD w/my 10YO a few weeks ago....after DTD, I said, "Let's go see if Bob is playing tonight." My 10YO had not seen Bob since he was FOUR so of course he didn't remember anything.

He had a blast! Especially when Bob broke into SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!

We are going in September, and I just rescheduled our luau to the 5:30 show so we could see Bob afterwards...I'm taking ALL THE KIDS in our group this time!

HE IS NOT TO BE MISSED!
