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.
