Coca Cola Refreshment Corner in Disneyland

Coca Cola Refreshment Corner (Disneyland)

Today’s dash of Disney comes to you courtesy of Disneyland – the Refreshment Corner – and is in honor of Rod Miller, the piano man who tickled the ivories at this location for more than 30 years. He was very gracious this weekend to offer a free concert and anecdote session at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. Thank you, Rod Miller for your Disney dedication.

At the far end of Main Street, USA on the left side, sits Refreshment Corner – a turn of the century Soda Fountain that mainly serves Coca Cola and Hot Dogs. For most of my life, I’ve made it a point to stop at this location at least once a trip for a hot dog and Coke. Seating is outdoors, and on days with good weather, there is usually a man tickling the ivories of an upright piano in the seating area. He plays old-fashioned favorites – ragtime, jazz, and Disney favorites in those styles – and completely sets the theming for this end of Main Street. My only regret – they used to sell a chocolate brownie that was to die for! Alas, we are all a little more health conscious now.

HOT TIP: For those of you arriving for the Rope Drop at the beginning of the Disneyland Day - duck through the shops to the far corner by the Coca Cola Refreshment Corner where there will be a rope extended across the doorway that leads into the seating area. This is the place where the Rope drops first and is usually not very crowded. You can get about a thirty second head start here on the rest of the crowd. Of course, this only works if you're heading to the left side of the park (Indy, Splash Mountain, Pirates, Haunted Mansion, etc...)
