5. Yehaa Bob Jackson at River Roost Lounge, Port Orleans Riverside, Walt Disney World

Watching Yehaa Bob playing piano at River Roost Lounge is the exact opposite of the refined experience of listening to piano playing at the Grand Floridian. But that's not to say it isn't fun: the music is lively and Bob encourages audience participation, conversation, and singing along. The show's a mish-mash of boogie boogie music, singing, and jokes, and if you're in the Port Orleans area when Yehaa Bob is playing it's worth taking the time to stop and enjoy the show.

6. Jellyrolls, Disney's BoardWalk, Walt Disney World

If you  haven't yet found piano act to match your style, Jellyrolls on Disney's BoardWalk outside of the BoardWalk Inn might be it. A piano bar for guests 21 and up, Jellyrolls is open every night and features a pair of pianos on stage, the better to take your requests with. The request-based format means there's no clue what kind of show you'll be walking in to from night to night... but if you're looking to mix up your evening entertainment schedule, this is just the answer!

7. Campfire Stories, Songs, and Movies, various hotels, Walt Disney World

Many hotels at Walt Disney World have some kind of evening campfire program, though the specifics will vary depending on the resort. At Animal Kingdom Lodge, Beach Club, BoardWalk Inn, Caribbean Beach, Contemporary, Coronado Springs, Old Key West, the Polynesian, Port Orleans French Quarter, Port Orleans Riverside, Saratoga Springs, Wilderness Lodge, Yacht Club, and Fort Wilderness all have their own entertainment programs with one thing in common between them: a campfire with, usually, marshmallow roasting. Depending on the resort, this may come with a sing-along, an outdoor movie, story time, or even character meet and greets.

The most extravagant show is at Fort Wilderness, where Chip and Dale — dressed in their cowboy best — host a sing-along followed up by a Disney movie screening. These events are open to anyone and require no reservations, so attending is as easy as showing up at the right resort at the right time.

8. Live music at Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar, Disneyland Hotel, Disneyland

If you're familiar with Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar at Disneyland (Florida parker-goers, never fear, because a version of Trader Sam's is coming to the Polynesian), you probably know about the extravagant setting this tiny lounge offers. But the problem with Trader Sam's is its downright minuscule size, which makes it tough to find a table on busy nights. Sure, you can sit outside, but you miss out on the detailed theming and show elements inside... but you can enjoy the same tasty tiki drinks and, on most nights, get to listen to live Hawaiian-style tunes.
