Construction Walls Move into Storybook Circus at Magic Kingdom
Refurbishment work is officially in motion at Storybook Circus as construction walls appeared this week surrounding Pete’s Silly Sideshow. These barriers are a sure sign that Magic Kingdom is giving the area some extra attention, though for now, it means a slightly different look for this corner of Fantasyland.

The project primarily aims to refresh the area by replacing the tent’s canopy, which has become noticeably weathered and faded after years of exposure to the Florida sun.


While Pete’s Silly Sideshow is behind walls, the Dashing and Daring Disney Pals meet-and-greets are temporarily unavailable at their usual indoor spot. However, you can still catch your favorite circus stars at these alternate locations throughout Storybook Circus:
- Minnie and Goofy: Greeting guests together at the main entrance to Storybook Circus.
- Daisy and Donald: Spotted meeting fans near the Train Station at the back of the land.
Disney has yet to confirm a reopening date for the Sideshow or announce if other areas of Storybook Circus will see similar refreshes in the months ahead.
