Disney confirmed that Carol, a 36-year Cast Member, is the new resident pianist at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom. She has begun performing daily sets outside the popular Main Street U.S.A. restaurant.

As of Wednesday, September 16, 2026, Carol has officially taken her place behind the iconic piano.

Her career with Walt Disney World began in 1990 at Pleasure Island’s Comedy Warehouse. Over the decades, she has performed at various venues across the resort, including the Rose & Crown Pub, EPCOT festivals, the Hoop-De-Doo Musical Revue, and the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

Her setlist at Casey’s Corner will feature traditional ragtime classics as well as Disney favorites, including music from composer Alan Menken.

What we know

Disney has not published a specific daily performance schedule for her sets.

What it means for your trip

Catching the pianist outside Casey’s Corner is a staple Magic Kingdom experience. The piano is located just outside the main doors facing the castle hub, making it an excellent spot to take a break while waiting for a parade or simply taking in the atmosphere of Main Street.

Since exact set times are rarely published in advance, your best bet is to keep an ear out as you walk through the hub. If you hear the ragtime music playing, grab some corn dog nuggets and find a spot nearby to enjoy the entertainment.
