Get ready, Disney fans and baseball enthusiasts! The Savannah Bananas, the team that redefined baseball with pure entertainment, just made their much-anticipated return to Disneyland Resort, and wow, did they bring the fun! If you missed it, don’t worry, I’m here to tell you all about this wild, one-day takeover.

Mark your calendars! After their « un-peel-ievable » visit last year, the Savannah Bananas – truly « The Greatest Show in Sports » – bounced back to Disneyland Resort for an epic, one-day experience on Thursday, March 26, 2026. This time, they brought along one of the newest Banana Ball Championship League teams, the Indianapolis Clowns, to double the fun!

Seriously, if you thought 2025 was a home run, this year topped it. They really pulled out all the stops.

Just a quick heads-up: if you planned to join the fun at Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park, remember you need both a valid theme park ticket and a park reservation. Reservations fill up fast, so always check Disneyland.com for the latest.

With a Park Hopper ticket, you could jump between both theme parks on the same day. You just needed a reservation for your first park, then after 11:00 a.m., you were free to explore the other park and go back and forth (again, subject to availability).

It’s official: the Savannah Bananas took over Disneyland Resort for their special day, and it was glorious! They didn’t just visit; they conquered the parks with their unique brand of baseball entertainment.

Surprise moments, hilarious antics, and appearances from players filled both parks. We saw the day unfold for these amazing ballplayers, and it was a spectacle.

Grab your glove (metaphorically, of course!) and let’s dive into all the highlights from Savannah Bananas Day at Disneyland.

Imagine this: the Bananas and Clowns started their day with a « first pitch » right inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Park! What a way to kick things off. Players from both teams got ready for the day and took an epic photo in front of the legendary Millennium Falcon.

Talk about a memorable start in a galaxy far, far away! This set the tone for all the fun that followed across Disneyland Resort.

The Indianapolis Clowns, famous for their unique blend of baseball and entertainment, made their Disneyland debut this year! They took a break from prepping for their weekend games at Angel Stadium to enjoy some classic Fantasyland charm.

Talk about a picture-perfect moment! We saw the players all smiles, posing in front of King Arthur Carrousel, riding the hand-painted horses of this iconic 1955 opening day attraction. What a treat!

For those who don’t know, the Clowns were a legendary barnstorming baseball team for over 50 years. They paved the way for Banana Ball by showing everyone that baseball could be seriously fun and entertaining. Want to know more about this awesome team? Head over to BananaBall.com!

Last year, the Bananas blew us away with a special dance, full of tricks and flips, to « Hey Baby » right in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. It was an instant classic!

Well, they did it again, and even bigger! Players from both the Clowns and Bananas gathered at the castle for some fantastic coordinated dance moves. They even grooved to « When You Wish Upon a Star »! Dressed in their signature yellow, the teams put on a show alongside Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Clarabelle Cow, and Goofy. The fans loved every second!

To top it all off, Savannah Bananas owner Jesse Cole spoke to the buzzing crowd, getting everyone to wave their hands to « Hey Baby. » The energy was absolutely infectious, setting the stage perfectly for the afternoon cavalcade at Disneyland Park.

The Savannah Bananas Cavalcade last year was an absolute highlight, right? This year, it was just as fantastic! The entire Disneyland Park parade route buzzed with cheering, dancing, and all the hilarious superstar shenanigans we’ve come to expect from these guys. They truly bring the party!

Music pumped through the air as select players shimmied and strutted down Main Street, U.S.A. Fans, many decked out in Bananas gear and Mickey ears, celebrated everywhere. We even caught some players like Jackson Olson and KJ Jackson waving from the classic Main Street Vehicles, sporting their iconic yellow uniforms. What a festive and energetic moment!

This year brought a fantastic new addition: the Savannah Bananas headed to California Adventure for a truly unique show, with the beautiful Pixar Pier skyline as their backdrop. What a setting!

Right-handed pitcher Derek Klena kicked things off by singing « Shut Up and Dance » with the rest of the Bananas. Then, the Clowns took the stage with their own amazing rendition of « Right Above It. » It was electric!

Next up, the official band joined the legendary Man-Nanas on stage for an epic dance-off to an instrumental « Beat It. » Finally, the whole Bananas roster came out to « Shipping Up to Boston, » and Derek led them in another captivating performance. Seriously, get those « spirit fingers » ready – the energy was unbelievable!

At the Hyperion Theater Courtyard in California Adventure, some incredibly lucky fans snagged a rare opportunity: photo ops with select players! Jackie Bradley Jr. from the Clowns and Reese Alexiades from the Bananas were there, making it an unforgettable experience for those who got in.

We even heard from Split, the Bananas’ official mascot, about the day’s excitement. His encouraging thoughts? Well, they were pure Bananas: “.” Couldn’t agree more, Split!

For the first time ever, the wild Banana Ball fun spread across both theme parks! A super energetic group of players from the Savannah Bananas and Indianapolis Clowns popped up at both Disneyland and California Adventure. What a treat for park-goers!

Here’s a breakdown of all the action you could catch on March 26, 2026:

Want to show your Banana Ball pride? The Savannah Bananas merchandise pop-up in Downtown Disney was the place to be! They had an « a-peeling » variety of gear, from T-shirts and hats to novelties and gifts for fans of all ages.

And for real collectors, they even created a special Savannah Bananas Disney tee and a collectible lapel pin just for this event! These were available while supplies lasted, of course.

You could also find a Home Run Pop-Up Card at Lovepop through March 31, perfect for any baseball lover. Plus, a DJ kept the energy high with upbeat jams at the Downtown Disney LIVE! stage for hours. The district was buzzing!

First up, a fantastic special performance right in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland! The team, all in their bright yellow uniforms, treated everyone to singing, dancing, and even appearances by Mickey Mouse and his pals. It was pure magic!

Next, it was time for the lively Savannah Bananas Cavalcade! From « it’s a small world » all the way down to Main Street, U.S.A., fans lined the parade route. Everyone cheered and waved as select players shimmied, shook, and strutted their way through the park. So much energy!

Later in the day, California Adventure hosted a « split-tacular » high-energy performance at the « World of Color » viewing area in Paradise Gardens Park. They promised surprises and unforgettable moments, and they delivered! The Savannah Bananas sang and danced in a unique show, with the stunning Pixar Pier skyline as their backdrop. Absolutely amazing!

For those super fans, select Savannah Bananas and Indianapolis Clowns players met guests for photos at the Hyperion Theater Courtyard. You needed a virtual queue confirmation and wristband to participate in this exclusive experience.

Here’s how it worked: on March 26, you could request to join the virtual queue through the Disneyland app* at 9:00 a.m. PT. To join, you needed a theme park reservation for Disney California Adventure park or a Park Hopper ticket.

They assigned you a boarding group. When your group was called, you received a push notification. Once your group was called, you scanned your ticket or entry code to pick up your wristband.

Then, you headed back to the location when the greetings started at 2:15 p.m. to exchange high‑fives and snap photos with your favorite players. A truly special moment!

Just a note for next time: virtual queue boarding groups were extremely limited and available while supplies lasted. Wristbands didn’t have cash value and weren’t replaceable if lost or stolen. Availability and procedures can change without notice, so always plan ahead!

Of course, no special event at Disney is complete without themed treats! For Savannah Bananas Day, you could enjoy a whole host of banana-flavored bites and beverages all over Disneyland Resort. Some of these delicious items were part of the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival, meaning they were limited-time only, while others you can find year-round.
