Pete’s Silly Sideshow Set to Reopen at Magic Kingdom

Reopening restores an air-conditioned meet-and-greet for Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy, creating time to prep Storybook Circus for fall after‑hours events.

Overview

  • Pete’s Silly Sideshow will reopen Saturday, June 27, 2026, with operating hours listed as 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
  • Disney replaced the tent tarp and refreshed the main sign and support poles during the months-long refurbishment that began with the January closure.
  • Visible finishing work this week included removal of scrim and scaffolding, installation of new banners, and crews fitting wait-time signage ahead of the reopening.
  • While the tent was closed the four characters met guests outdoors in Storybook Circus, and returning the indoor space restores an air-conditioned spot for photos and short breaks from summer heat.
  • Big Top Souvenirs next door remains closed after a late‑February shutdown; a bright-blue roof has been installed but is not yet fully secured and no reopening date has been announced.
