Casey's Corner exterior walkway area refurbishment

Posted: Monday February 17, 2014 9:38am EST by WDWMAGIC Staff

Most of the construction walls are now down outside Casey's Corner at the Magic Kingdom revealing new, wider walkways for improved guest flow through that area.

Walls are still up around the seating area, which is also receiving some upgrades and will be open later this month. Check out the gallery for a look at the area.

I wish they hadn't gotten rid of the "bleachers" seats and the screen playing the old baseball cartoons.

I think the placement of the bushes all along the rear perimeter is a nice touch, and adds interest to the outdoor venue.

People will be camping out all day. Hope they have a plan for that. Sprinklers?

The comment was just a serious and lighthearted reply to the comment about it being closed a lot. They tested the buffet again this past week. Looking more and more plausible.

I would assume they are adding later - no need holding up the opening of the dining patio for railings. There are railings missing near first aid too. Maybe the railings around this renovated area will be installed all at one time.

I wonder.. it might be.. The one angle it shows like it is sod with patches/strips of grass... but who knows with these people... lol

That's the point. It's supposed to be stood on to create more firework/parade viewing areas. Its just fake I think.

It looks great! :)

I was thinking he meant it would be nice to have it open since it's almost always closed (or at least it is when I go). Does anyone know when the last time it was open was? Or if there is a schedule of when it's open?

Why would they have not jumped on this when Pirates was a hot franchise rather than wait ten years and then make it a full service restaurant??? You could have had your picture taken with Captain Jack Sparrow and be waited on by pirates. A perfect balance to the sometimes overly-princess focus. Seems like a wasted opportunity to do it now...

Wait a min! Where are the railings??? Inconsiderate people will walk all over that grass when there is a crowd and it will be ruined in no time. Also, did they add a pathway in front of the seating so no one has to walk between the tables and Casey's?

I'm a bit confused by the OP's comment -- Tortuga Tavern already is a restaurant. But I'm assuming he means sit-down rather than quick serve. I think it could be a bad thing because the test they did during the holidays was for buffet style, all for the low low price of like $45 or something. From the couple of reports I saw (and I know it's just anecdotal ... maybe it was busy the other times) there weren't very many people taking them up on that offer, considering how crazy busy the parks are over Christmas. MK desperately needs more sit down (and even quick serve) options, but I'm not sure $45 buffets are the answer. Back on topic, I think the expanded outdoor seating at Casey's looks great. Looks nicely done, and desperately needed.

Why is this a bad thing? Maybe I'm not reading your post correctly. I would love for some other menu items and options. Pecos Bills needs some healthy competition.
