History
Casey's Corner originally opened as "Refreshment Corner" with the rest of the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971 [1]. From the time that it opened, the location has been sponsored by Coca-Cola [2]. The Refreshment Corner remained essentially unchanged until May 27, 1995 when the restaurant was renamed Casey's Corner. Based on the Ernest Lawrence Thaye poem "Casey at Bat" and the Disney cartoon based on the poem, Casey's Corner was designed to celebrate America's pastime. As part of this new theming, Casey's Corner was decorated with vintage baseball souvenirs and photos. Furthermore, the dining location also featured small bleachers which guests could sit on while they watched classic Disney baseball cartoons.
Casey's Corner remained unchanged until Spring 2014, when the restaurant was closed for refurbishment. At this time, the bleachers and movie screen were removed in order to accommodate expanded indoor seating [3]. At this time, Casey's Corner's exterior seating was also doubled in size and new walkways were added [4] Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag.
- The scoreboard in Casey's Corner reflects the score of the baseball game just as Casey came up to bat [5].
