Description And Comments

Pete’s Silly Sideshow is a circus-themed character-greeting area in the Storybook Circus part of Fantasyland. The characters’ costumes are distinct from the ones normally worn around the parks.

The Circus Stars side of the greeting area is where guests encounter Goofy as The Great Goofini and Donald Duck as The Astounding Donaldo.

Touring Tips

Open for Evening Extra Magic Hours.

Pete's opens later than the rest of the park -- usually at 10 am -- and closes just before the fireworks. The queue is indoor and air-conditioned. Note that there is one queue for the male characters (Donald and Goofy) and a second queue for the female characters (Minnie and Daisy). You can meet Donald and Goofy (or Minnie and Daisy) sequentially with a minimal wait in between, but you have to line up twice to meet all four characters at the Sideshow.

See our Disney character meet and greet tips and frequently asked questions page for more information on meeting characters.
