Overview
- Disney announced on Wednesday that Carol Stein, a 36-year Walt Disney World cast member, officially made her debut as the featured pianist at Casey’s Corner on Main Street, U.S.A.
- Stein prepared new selections and revisited older favorites for the role and is playing a mix of classic ragtime and Disney songs that suit the outdoor, walk-by audience at Casey’s Corner.
- A Central Florida native, Stein began reading music at age two, holds a master’s degree from the University of Florida, is a Steinway Artist, and is in the Central Florida Jazz Hall of Fame.
- Stein stepped away from full-time performing in November 2022 and her return places a known, guest-focused performer in a highly visible spot where incidental listeners often become engaged guests.
- Her move continues Disney’s long tradition of live piano on Main Street, U.S.A., giving passing visitors another chance for personal musical moments and reinforcing the park’s ambient storytelling.
