Pete’s Silly Sideshow to Reopen Saturday at Magic Kingdom

Restoring the indoor, air-conditioned meet-and-greet will improve guest comfort during peak summer crowds.

Overview

  • Pete’s Silly Sideshow is scheduled to reopen Saturday, June 27, with operating hours listed from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., ending a closure that began in January.
  • Disney replaced the attraction’s worn red-and-white tent canopy and refreshed the main sign and support poles as part of the multi-month refurbishment.
  • While the tent was closed, Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck and Goofy continued meeting guests at temporary outdoor locations in Storybook Circus.
  • Neighboring Big Top Souvenirs remains under a separate, ongoing refurbishment; crews have installed a new bright-blue roof that has not yet been fully secured and no reopening date has been announced.
  • Bringing the indoor meet-and-greet back online adds air-conditioned capacity for families during the hot summer months and gives Disney time to ready the venue for later after-hours events such as the Halloween and Christmas parties.
