Disney Moves Pete’s Silly Sideshow Refurbishment to Begin Jan. 4 at Magic Kingdom

Disney has not set a reopening date for the circus tent venue.

Overview

  • Pete’s Silly Sideshow will now close on January 4, 2026, one day earlier than previously listed.
  • January 3 becomes the last full day to experience the in-tent meet-and-greets before the location shuts.
  • The Dashing and Daring Disney Pals experiences inside the tent will pause, with Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy shifting to other Storybook Circus locations.
  • Disney cites maintenance and refurbishment work for the closure, and recent permit activity points to exterior and building upkeep, though specifics remain unannounced.
  • Big Top Souvenirs and nearby food spots are expected to stay open during the refurbishment.
