The excitement is about to hit a new level at Walt Disney World. The theme park resort officially announced that Banana Ball Disney World is happening May 29–30, 2026, at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The high-energy baseball phenomenon created by the Savannah Bananas will bring its unique brand of entertainment, laughter, and lightning-fast play to the Most Magical Place on Earth.

What Is Banana Ball Disney World All About?

If you’ve never seen Banana Ball, imagine a baseball game with the rules rewritten for fun and fan energy. Every inning counts as a separate point, games last only two hours, and fans are just as much a part of the show as the players. A few wild twists include:

  • Batters can steal first base
  • Foul balls caught by fans count as outs
  • No stepping out of the batter’s box or time-wasting mound visits
  • Tie games are settled with high-stakes “Showdown” duels

The result? A crowd that’s dancing, laughing, and cheering nonstop. As Disney describes it, Banana Ball is “baseball kissed by fun.”

Who’s Playing at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex?

Banana Ball Disney World

For the Banana Ball Disney World debut, two teams from the new Banana Ball Championship League will face off: the Loco Beach Coconuts and the Party Animals. While the original Savannah Bananas team won’t take the field for this event, they’ll continue leading the sport’s rapid expansion across the country.

The ESPN Wide World of Sports Stadium, which seats more than 9,500 fans, is an ideal home for the Banana Ball experience. The venue’s open-air design and family-friendly atmosphere will make this two-night event a can’t-miss experience for sports and Disney fans alike.

How To Get Banana Ball Disney World Tickets

Tickets for Banana Ball at Disney World won’t be sold directly. Instead, fans must register for the official ticket lottery by November 1, 2025, at BananaBall.com. Registration is free and open to all but entering doesn’t guarantee tickets. It’s all part of the anticipation that comes with this fast-growing fan phenomenon.

Can’t make it to the parks? You’ll still be able to enjoy Banana Ball Disney World from home. The games will be available on Disney+, ESPN+, and broadcast across ESPN and ESPN2, making it easier than ever to join the fun no matter where you are.

Why Banana Ball Disney World Matters

The upcoming Banana Ball Disney World event marks a major milestone, the first time Banana Ball will be played at Walt Disney World Resort. It merges Disney’s immersive storytelling with the Bananas’ outrageous showmanship, proving that sports and entertainment can blend into one unforgettable experience.

In 2025, the Savannah Bananas played in legendary venues like Fenway Park and Angel Stadium, with millions tuning in across Disney and ESPN platforms. By 2026, the sport is evolving into a full Banana Ball Championship League, complete with new teams, a 75-stadium tour, and even more ways to engage fans nationwide.

A Perfect Match: Bananas and Disney Magic

Picture this: spending your day in the parks, then wrapping up the evening with a stadium full of dancing players, fans catching foul balls, and plenty of banana-themed fun. With Disney’s creative flair, expect the Banana Ball Disney World experience to go far beyond the field, blending live entertainment, themed snacks, and interactive fan moments that only Disney could deliver. So grab your yellow gear, mark your calendars, and get ready to go bananas at Walt Disney World next May.
