Hidden Treasures - the Piano Man!

As you hopefully read on our most recent Blogorail Hop, I have a Disney Bucket List.  Nothing set in stone, but since I've become so "Disney-fide," I like to have a few goals per trip.  

For January's Half Marathon trip, I found/accomplished almost everything on my list:

• Push
• Seeing the Dapper Dan's perform (check, but check back for that blog post!)
• Get Noah's 1st Haircut at the Harmony Barber Shop
• Find the special phone on Main Street, U.S.A.
• Find the Wooden Leg named Smith at the Train Station - I looked, but didn't find it!
• Visit the Animal Kingdom Lodge (now on next January's list of to-do's!)
• See Casey's Corner's Piano Man Perform!

And, that last one, I lucked out in finding!

On Marathon Monday, Adam, Noah, Ruth, and I headed to Casey's for a quick and easy lunch.  Noah had his haircut appointment that afternoon, so somehow, we ended up at Casey's.  Somehow, I had never been there, but even at the Parks, I try to eat healthy, so a hot dog is generally on the veto list.  However, this trip, I made an exception!

And, while we were eating outside (no tables inside.. no high chairs anywhere, parents beware), I started to hear music playing... 

The Piano Man sat down to tickle the "ivories!"  I was so excited, I grabbed Noah, and we ran up to listen to him play (and take dozens of pictures).

He has his tunes memorized and plays adorable arrangements of Disney tunes in a ragtime style.  His piano had a mirror, so he could watch his audience while he played, which I thought was pretty cool!

While I could do without the hot dogs or even the corn dog nuggets, I could easily see heading back to Casey's in hopes of finding him (or one of the other players!) again.  

And, I have to admit, I've added this hidden treasure to my short list of Disney Dream jobs.. 

Have you ever run into this or any of the other piano players at Casey's?  What are your favorite hidden treasures? Let me know by leaving a comment here, on facebook, or find me @DisneyBabiesBlg on twitter!
