Overview
- Carol Stein, a 36‑year Walt Disney World cast member, took the pianist role at Casey’s Corner on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 2026, playing at the outdoor piano near Cinderella Castle.
- Her sets mix classic ragtime associated with Casey’s Corner and Disney favorites, and she specifically cites songs by composer Alan Menken among the pieces she will perform.
- Stein’s Disney career began in 1990 at Pleasure Island’s Comedy Warehouse and has taken her to EPCOT, the Grand Floridian, Hoop‑De‑Doo and other resort venues.
- She said the new assignment felt like the “first day of school,” and that she prepared by learning new songs and revisiting favorites to create personal, walk‑up moments for guests.
- Several fan sites report additional biographical details and a reported step‑away from full‑time performing in November 2022, but those items appear in single outlets and are not uniformly verified.
