Casey’s Corner on Main Street, U.S.A. is a go-to for Disney fans looking for that delicious hot dog and french fries. Pre-COVID, you could enjoy your meal while sitting near the side of Casey’s Corner quick-service restaurant and listening to impressive music. The popular Casey’s Corner Pianist would fill the space with fantastic piano music. Well, Casey’s Corner Pianist is making a comeback and is scheduled to return on October 1, 2021!
