At the end of Main Street USA sits Casey's Corner. According to Main Street’s fabricated history, it was established in 1888, but really, it opened with the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971 as the Coca-Cola Refreshment Corner. During the refurbishment that changed the makeup of the west side of MSU, it was renamed Casey’s Corner. Since it opened, it has served traditional American ball park fare, including Crackerjacks, corn dog nuggets, and some of the best hot dogs on property. The seating area in the back of the counter-service restaurant occupies some of the space once used by the Penny Arcade. It is themed to an American baseball park, complete with bleachers, scoreboard, an antique coin-operated baseball game, authentic memorabilia, pennants, and a movie screen showing old Disney animated shorts starring Mickey and Goofy which focus on sports. However, pay close attention to some of the photos in this area, as some of them are not as old as they seem, as they contain photos of Imagineers, including women dressed as men with moustaches, and a few wearing very modern pairs of sneakers.

And Casey’s is not just a place to grab a quick bite, but an entertainment venue as well. The seating area outside not only gives you a great view of the Castle, but a prime location to enjoy the sounds of the ragtime piano player, complete with red and white striped vest, tickling the ivories on the piano that, according to story, was a gift from Mickey to Minnie on the 50th anniversary of Disneyland. The piano is a professional upright with the hammers having been specially treated with liquid plastic for the honky tonk style of play, allowing them to bounce of the strings more quickly. Be sure to stop by, listen and say hi to the piano players, some of whom have been there for more than 20 years.
