    Default What's the big deal with Caseys?

    We've never eaten there, not even entirely sure I know where it is, but it's constantly showing up as a favorite on Intercot. Hot dogs, right? Is it the place at the back of the emporium where kids sit on bleachers and watch cartoons?

    Why is it one of your favorites? I feel like I'm missing out on some fabulous Disney secret.

    Casey's is located on the far end of the Emporium (the place that shows the movies, by the bleachers). It serves hot dogs, fries, and corndog nuggets. The hot dogs are really good!

    Yes, that's the place. We usually eat there once per trip. We're not big hot dog eaters but I guess it's just "park food". I really like the mini corn dogs.

    Yeah its at the end of the emporium. Its the best Hot dog place in the park. My Hubby and i can eat there for less than 15 bucks. Its really reasonable for your money. So thats why its such a big deal to alot of people. Oh and yeah there hot dogs are really good.

    It really is just hot dogs, and fries and things. There's a fixins bar and the hot dogs are really good. I don't think there's anything really special other than that it's a fun food and brings on good memories of being on Main Street.

    We didn't try any of the counter service places in Disney for years. All of our dining was table service. And then finally, we decided to mix it up a little and we fell in love with Casey's and Pecos Bill and some of the other quick service places. It just adds to the fun to eat there now for us, even though we still love table service. We do both. The dining plan works out well for us.

    The dogs are fantastic. We like to sit outside, watch the people, and listen to the piano player. It's nice to just relax for a short time.

    Ok I was secretly wondering the same thing. I took a look at the menu and wondered...hmmmmm...hotdogs. I am from Chicago and feel that it would be hard to top that in Florida. I guess I will give it a try.

    mediocre hot dogs, IMHO, but fun. We usually get Casey's and some Ice Cream Sundaes for our group while posting up to save a spot for the parade at night.

    I don't normally care for hot dogs, and hide them in catsup to disguise the flavor. But the dw assured me I would like these, and we have always stopped at least once during each of our trips the last 12 years. I don't even have catsup!

    I find Casey's just so-so. They certainly don't top Chicago style hot dogs.

    For us it's classic Disney and we do eat there about once per trip (sometimes though we don't at all

    How we got started there was DS was "STARVINGGGGGGGGG" and it was right there, so I went in and got corn dog nuggets.....I will say they are pretty good! Now we get some corn dog nuggets, fries and a drink and sit outside and listen to the piano man playing and people watch -- and also watch the ducks mooch food off people (who should not be feeding them in the first place.....but I digress on that one!).

    It's just a fun laid back place!

    I dunno, Maybe because there isn't as many counter service places in mk as in other parks. Maybe some people just really like hot dogs.
    I personally like their corndog nuggets and can't find them at home. So I enjoy getting them there. It's a nice snack to have during Spectromagic

    Or a New York style hot dog either (and I love both Chicago and NY dogs).

    DisneyPrincess21, don't know where you live but if you have a Nathan's nearby, they have corn dog nuggets on their kid's meal menu.

    We like the corn dog nuggets, and the nostalgic atmosphere on Main Street is a plus.

    The hot dogs are average IMHO but you can't beat the location and atmosphere

    Casey's is a favourite of our family. The hot dogs are yummy, we love the cheese sauce for the dogs and fries, and the brownies are super-yummy.

    DH loves it because he loves the sports theme, and watching the cartoons on the bleachers while we eat, and I love it because it is always our first Disney meal, so I know I'm at MK when I see the castle and have Casey's.
