What Banana Ball Teams Are Playing at Walt Disney World?

Last year, Banana Ball traveled across the country for a ton of thrilling matchups, with high-profile games between the Savannah Bananas, the Firefighters, the Party Animals, the Loco Beach Coconuts, the Indianapolis Clowns, and the Texas Tailgaters. Visiting a wide range of legendary venues like Yankee Stadium in New York City, Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Angel Stadium in Anaheim, Banana Ball has continued to visit iconic ballparks and prime destinations perfectly fit for friends and families, bringing the show to a new lineup of eager fans and even to Walt Disney World, culminating in last year’s battle between the Party Animals and the Loco Beach Coconuts.

Next season, Walt Disney World will welcome all six teams to the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex for the Banana Ball Open, with four teams competing. If you are a fan of Disney Parks and Banana Ball, you are in the perfect spot to turn a double play with two cornerstones of entertainment and fun. Hosted at the 260+ acre ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World, the league’s top four teams will face off inside The Stadium, which features more than 9,500 seats, four luxury sky boxes, open-air suites, and plenty of happy hijinks on the diamond.
