Pete’s Silly Sideshow, the Magic Kingdom meet-and-greet area for Minnie Mouse, Donald and Daisy Duck, and Goofy, has been closed since January 4th. The abrupt closure was due to structural repairs, and 6 months later, Disney finally announced a reopening date of Saturday, June 27th.
But when we were visiting Fantasyland today, we saw that Pete’s Silly Sideshow opened a whole day early! If you’re at Magic Kingdom today, you can meet Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy inside the building again!
While Pete’s Silly Sideshow technically opens on the 27th, you can stop by and meet the characters inside for the soft open today. You can meet Minnie in her circus performer outfit…
Daisy will read your fortune as a fortune teller…
Donald, aka The Astounding Donaldo, is charming as ever as a snake charmer…
And Goofy will impress you with his tricks as the Great Goofini!
Pete’s Silly Sideshow is in the back of the Storybook Circus section of Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom. It’s open daily from 10 AM to 7 PM. The characters meet all day, but you’ll want to check the My Disney Experience app as things are subject to change.
We’re so excited that Pete’s Silly Sideshow is back open. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World news!
