The day has finally come!

Pete’s Silly Sideshow
There are lots of meet and greets you can experience in Disney World. Disney announced earlier this month that characters would return to Pete’s Silly Sideshow on January 15th, which means it is time. Come with us to say hello to these characters once again!
On one side of the sideshow, you can meet Minnie Magnifique and Daisy Fortuna, and on the other side, you can meet The Astounding Donaldo and The Great Goofini.

Daisy was fabulous, too.
She spent some time consulting her crystal ball.
And don't forget to say hi to fortune teller Daisy! 🔮 pic.twitter.com/Jyf49IDT28
