The day has FINALLY arrived…Casey’s Corner has reopened in Magic Kingdom (and the crowd goes wild!!!!!!!!!!!)!

Maybe you are very familiar with the corn dog nuggets, hot dogs, and plastic CHEEEESE that are staples at Casey’s Corner. But, are you familiar with one of this spot’s special traditions? We got to see it back in action today and are sharing all the details with you!!

When a restaurant in Disney World opens for the day, it typically does so without any big fanfare. But, that’s simply NOT the case for Casey’s Corner!

When the restaurant reopened today, it brought back one of its special traditions — the First Pitch!!

If you’re unfamiliar with it, each day the first 2 people in line for Casey’s Corner typically get to throw a “first pitch” to open the restaurant.

After throwing the baseballs, the guests typically get a free brownie! In the past, we’ve seen this mainly given to children who are picked to throw the first pitch. For today’s grand reopening there was a child and an adult who threw the first pitches and both received brownies.

Also, after throwing the baseballs, the Cast Members typically lead the crowd in a rendition of Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Check out the video below to see the first pitch from Casey’s Corner’s grand reopening!

It may seem like something small, but it’s a fun tradition that can totally make someone’s day that much more special! And we think corn dog nuggets should totally be celebrated with cheers each and every day!
