Pete’s Silly Sideshow Closes Jan. 4 for Tent Refurbishment at Magic Kingdom

Characters move to temporary Storybook Circus locations during a permit-backed repair program with no reopening date.

Overview

  • Disney updated its operating calendar to move the closure from January 5 to January 4.
  • On-site reports show significant wear to the meet-and-greet tent, including a visible tear and faded entrance props.
  • Nearby Storybook Circus structures also show deterioration, with fabric issues noted around Big Top Souvenirs and the Dumbo area.
  • October permit filings indicate multiple Storybook Circus tents are slated for refurbishment over the year.
  • Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy will continue greeting elsewhere in Storybook Circus, and Big Top Souvenirs and nearby food locations are expected to remain open.
