There are construction projects happening all over Disney World, but it seems like most of the construction is happening in Magic Kingdom. Frontierland is getting a new Cars-themed expansion, while a new Villains land is going behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (which was also under construction until recently). Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin also recently got a huge update.
Minnie Mouse at Pete’s Silly Sideshow
Over in Fantasyland, Pete’s Silly Sideshow closed in January for some major refurbishments. Well, now, after months of being closed, the attraction will finally reopen on June 27th.
Pete’s Silly Sideshow is a character meet and greet where you can meet some of Disney’s most iconic characters dressed as circus performers. The meet and greet includes Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, Donald Duck, and Goofy. So while the area was under construction, the characters were temporarily moved outside around Storybook Circus.
It’s Minnie and Goofy!
However, now that Pete’s Silly Sideshow is set to reopen on June 27th, you’ll be able to meet the characters in their usual spots there.

The construction focused on replacing the tent covering on the area, and now, it seems that the refurbishment is complete.

When Pete’s Silly Sideshow reopens, you’ll be able to meet characters there from 10 AM to 7 PM. Note that these hours may change, so check the My Disney Experience app before you visit Magic Kingdom if this character meet and greet is a priority for you and your group.
We’ll keep an eye out for more reopenings in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
