Pete’s Silly Sideshow is now closed for refurbishment at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.

Pete’s Silly Sideshow Refurbishment

The Pete’s Silly Sideshow circus tent is now closed to guests in Storybook Circus:

Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck will greet guests elsewhere in Storybook Circus. Disney has not shared more details about the meet and greets, nor whether Donald Duck or Goofy will still be meeting.

The closure is likely for repairs to the Pete’s Silly Sideshow tent, which we reported was torn in November 2025. In October, Disney filed two permits for Pete’s Silly Sideshow and Big Top Souvenirs. They both contracted Birdair, Inc., which specializes in tensile structures like canopies and roofing.

Disney has not stated how long the refurbishment will last.
