If you’ve been following along, Big Top Souvenirs and Pete’s Silly Sideshow, located in the heart of the Magic Kingdom’s Storybook Circus in Walt Disney World, closed suddenly late last week.
While we’re still unsure of the reasons behind this unexpected closure, we’re happy to report that Pete’s Silly Sideshow, the character meet-and-greet location, has now reopened.
It’s once again business as usual as guests can meet Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie, and Daisy in their usual location at Pete’s Silly Sideshow.
Minnie and friends happily greet guests unaffected by the recent temporary closure.
Partitions remain in front of the main entrance to Big Top Souvenirs, home to the popular gift and treats shop.
The other entrance to the gift shop also remains barricaded.
We’ll keep you in the know as soon as we receive the scoop on when Big Top Souvenirs will reopen.
