Casey’s Corner is an All-American treat! This counter service restaurant is located right on Main Street, U.S.A in Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

This old fashioned hot dog joint serves up delicious hot dogs and french fries. Casey’s is a staple for many Guests at Magic Kingdom.

The restaurant features a small indoor dining area (think: air conditioning!) and a large patio with tables and chairs, right in the hub on Main Street.

We love to sit out here and relax with the view of Cinderella Castle, and it’s a great place to people watch, or catch a viewing of Happily Ever After.

When the Parks reopened in July 2020, Casey’s Corner remained closed. This fan favorite restaurant reopened June 30, 2021.

Casey’s fans were thrilled, but upon reopening learned the Casey’s Corner Pianist would not be entertaining us while we dined.

Disney’s website describes Casey’s Corner Pianist as a “playful pianist dazzles with an impressive repertoire. Go ahead-make a request!” We request the return of the Pianist, please!

Now, great news for Casey’s enthusiasts: the Casey’s Corner Pianist will once again be entertaining us beginning October 1. Just in time for Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration!
