Basics of Casey’s Corner
Casey’s Corner is a quick service restaurant at Magic Kingdom specializing in hot dogs. Guests on a Disney Dining Plan will spend one quick service credit for an entree and a drink from the restaurant.
Casey’s Corner is typically open from 10:30AM until park close (and sometimes later than park close). The restaurant serves lunch and dinner and has an identical menu for both. Casey’s Corner does not take Disney World Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs).
Casey’s Corner is the first quick service restaurant you’ll encounter in the Magic Kingdom. When you enter the park and walk down Main Street, Casey’s Corner will be at the very end of Main Street on the left side.

Casey’s Corner Menu
Casey’s Corner is known for basically one thing—hot dogs. These hot dogs come in several varieties though. The basic offering is the all-beef hot dog. While the plain foot-long isn’t listed on every menu, it is available. A vegan “sausage” (not foot-long) is also available.
Then there are the “full-time” specialty hot dogs. These change infrequently, and as of this post are the chili-cheese hot dog and the bacon macaroni & cheese hot dog.
Finally, there is a “hot dog of the month” that rotates roughly—you guessed it—monthly. This tends to be something a little more “different,” like the Corned Beef Hash hot dog of March 2019. Other items include corn dog nuggets, chili, and mac & cheese.
As always, we recommend mobile ordering rather than waiting in line. If you don’t mobile order, you’ll order from a register and pick up your food at the counter.
Seating at Casey’s Corner
Most of the seating a Casey’s Corner is outside. The “patio” of the restaurant offers a decent (albeit often obstructed by umbrellas and other guests) view of Cinderella Castle.
There is some indoor seating in a room that is between the service counter and the shops of Main Street. Overall while I’ve never felt there’s enough seating here, I’ve also never been left without a seat.
The location of Casey’s—right on Main Street—means it gets additional crowd bumps around the parades and nighttime shows. Besides the additional crowds, you’ll have lots of foot traffic cutting through the inside of the restaurant if you’re eating around the time of these events.
Theming
Casey’s is named after the 1888 Ernest Thayer poem, Casey at the Bat. As such, the restaurant is baseball themed.
There is a variety of baseball memorabilia and old-timey photos/newspapers/items on the walls of the restaurant. It’s a bit cluttered, but that’s sort of the spirit of the restaurant itself. It’s fun to take a minute or two to quickly look at some of the items, but I’ve never been blown away by anything here.
One of our favorite perks of Casey’s is the pianist. He plays on a set schedule available in the app. Having at hot dog at Casey’s watching Main Street and Cinderella Castle listening to the piano is truly one of those “magical” Disney moments.
Conclusions
Casey’s big draw is the hot dog of the month, which can vary. Sometimes it’s a home run. Other times it’s a swing and a miss (if there’s a more overused pun about Disney anything, I’d be shocked).
Like most of the restaurants in Magic Kingdom, you’ll probably be choosing Casey’s because you want it’s specialty (in this case, hot dogs). That said, the restaurant does offer the perk of a central location and seating with a unique view and a piano!
