Grayson J. Smith - Ragtime Piano Player - Magic Kingdom - Walt Disney World Resort

As Baseball Season Begins, Rendition of ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ Shared by Disney From Casey’s Corner at Magic Kingdom

March 27th is the first day of the 2025 Baseball Season. As the season kicks off, Disney shared a video of piano player Grayson playing Take Me Out to the Ballgame. The performance took place at Casey’s Corner at Magic Kingdom. This is a baseball-themed restaurant at Walt Disney World that serves hot dogs, mini corndogs, and loaded fries. It draws its name from the poem Casey at the Bat by Ernest Thayer, which was also made into an animated short by Disney. Check out Grayson’s performance here:

Grayson also has performed several other notable tunes while playing the piano at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. Here are a few that Daps Magic has captured through the years:

Fantasmic!

How Far I’ll Go

Beauty and the Beast Medley

Grayson isn’t the only piano player who has performed Take Me Out to the Ballgame at the Magic Kingdom piano. Randy Morris is one of several who have also performed the tune on this piano. Morris was probably the first, however. He was the piano player at Casey’s Corner when Walt Disney World Resort opened in 1971. 50 years later, Morris performed the tune at Casey’s Corner.
