Oh you mean the 14th century game from Germany "Sitzsackwerfen" You dont want to look up the Americanized name in Urban Dictionary.

Its become a bit of an industry runner. They do it here at Dollywood too.

Consolation cornhole will never not be funny.
Also, that lady in front of Monsters is definitely not standing regulation distance from the board.

Cornhole is new, but I know ride cast members whipping out cheapo games when the ride isn't operating has been a thing for a while. I saw a tic-tac-toe game at KiteTails (same idea for a non-ride).
Cast members are probably bored and people are inevitably going to hang around hoping it comes back up while they're standing next to it anyway, so might as well entertain both groups, I guess.

I can assure you mine was not. I'm in MK right now.
I don't care what it's called. I'm asking why TMs/CMs set up the games to begin with.
Interesting how it cropped up in both Uni and WDW.

No idea.
First time I see this happen at a WDW theme park. Looks kinda lame (to me), lol.

It's like there's such a thing as industry best practices, and company leaders who move from one park to the others.

They had it outside Cowfish upstairs at City Walk a few years ago (still might?). We were waiting for our table one night and a little kid started asking me to play with him, My wife said "Go on" so I did. The kid (around 9 years old?) started smack talking to me as I threw so I did my best to show him it wouldn't affect me. My last throw I won and the kid starts crying. His mum looks over and gives me such a nasty glare and comes over to see what the problem was. He starts telling her I beat him in the game and she pulls him away saying "What sort of grown man beats a kid at games" 
I've never played it since and hate the sight off it following that

Looks like a tripping hazard to me and a great way to get LL passes for the remainder of your stay.
Surprised they don't have one outside of Tiana's all the time just in case
I used to never miss Splash. I skipped Tiana at MNSSHP Tuesday night and regular admission to MK yesterday. I don't regret skipping out at all.

Because there’s nothing else for those cast members to do and it gives them something to do and interact with some guests. This has been happening occasional in WDW parks for nearly a decade.
I have not seen this ever until this trip. For example TT was closed for a while today. CMs were standing in front of it, basically inviting you to go elsewhere. They didn't put out corn hole games.

It doesn’t happen everywhere and it doesn’t happen all the time. But it’s happened at various attractions during extended downtimes for over a decade.
