ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 The Savannah Bananas may not be in town, but some of their biggest rivals are bringing the fun to Central Florida this weekend.<\/p>\n

The Loco Beach Cocounts and the Party Animals are set to face off for two games Friday and Saturday at ESPN Wide World of Sports at Walt Disney World.<\/p>\n

The Party Animals arrived early to enjoy a day at Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom before taking the field. <\/p>\n

For at least one player, it marked a first-ever visit to the popular theme park.<\/p>\n

Both games are already sold out, showing just how popular Banana Ball has become with fans across the country.<\/p>\n

Fans who were not able to grab tickets can still catch Friday night\u2019s game streaming live on the ESPN app and Disney+.<\/p>\n
