CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Jackie Robinson West All Stars are back home after a weekend at Disney World and their coach says they had a ball.

They flew back to O'Hare International Airport Sunday. It was a quick trip. The team left for Florida on Friday. From the sounds of things, the boys, their parents and coach packed in a lot of fun. They say they swam a lot, played arcade games and of course rode a lot of rides.

But it seems the U.S. Little League Champions were recognized even miles from home with some people coming up and talking with the players.

"They got school (Monday), yes," said coach Darold Butler. "I don't think they're excited about doing it. Back in school (Monday) and regular kids I think again for them."

Donations made the trip possible. Disney is the parent company of ABC7.
