If you’ve been following along, Big Top Souvenirs and Pete’s Silly Sideshow, located in the heart of the Magic Kingdom’s Storybook Circus in Walt Disney World, closed suddenly late last week.

While we’re still unsure of the reasons behind this unexpected closure, we’re happy to report that Pete’s Silly Sideshow, the character meet-and-greet location, has now reopened.
It’s once again business as usual as guests can meet Donald Duck, Goofy, Minnie, and Daisy in their usual location at Pete’s Silly Sideshow.
