Roof Removed From Pete’s Silly Sideshow as Magic Kingdom Refurbishment Intensifies
No reopening date has been announced, with characters relocated to temporary outdoor locations.
Overview
- The removed section is the tent’s outer tarp that served as the themed roof, exposing the building’s internal ceiling behind construction scrim and walls.
- Pete’s Silly Sideshow closed on January 4 after months of visible fabric deterioration and tears in the tent covering.
- Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Donald Duck are greeting guests at outdoor spots in Storybook Circus, and Mickey continues meeting at Town Square Theater.
- Walt Disney World has not detailed the scope of the work or whether the tarp will be repaired or replaced.
- Big Top Souvenirs, the adjacent tent-themed gift shop, remains open during the refurbishment.
