At both Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort, it’s inevitable to encounter Disney’s cartoon characters in parks, hotels, and other locations. But changes are coming to the Magic Kingdom.

At the Magic Kingdom, Disney park guests can meet and mingle with Mickey Mouse, Goofy, Captain Jack Sparrow, and a whole host of Disney Princesses. It’s been that way since the ’70s, and fans like it that way, but all things can change in the parks.

Shortly after Disney’s Beyond Big Thunder project was announced at this year’s D23 Expo, it was revealed that Pete’s Silly Sideshow at the Storybook Circus in Fantasyland is undergoing some changes, and guests are already flocking to the big top in preparation for the new reveal.

Are Mickey’s friends moving out of the Magic Kingdom?

Like a scene from Dumbo, Storybook Circus was an absolute delight for younger guests embarking on a journey through the Magic Kingdom. It’s a colorful treat for all ages, home to flying elephants, circus trains, and Goofy’s Barnstormer roller coaster.

At this enchanting location, guests can enjoy numerous rides and photo opportunities and even ride the Walt Disney World Railroad at Storybook Circus Station. One of the biggest attractions, however, is Pete’s Silly Side Show, where guests can meet Goofy, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Minnie Mouse in circus costumes.

Any location featuring Disney’s Fab Five characters is a prime location. After all, these characters are the bread and butter of the traditional park experience.

But as new things evolve and new events happen at Magic Kingdom, some experiences have to be put on hold to make room for something new. Case in point: @disneywithjen reveals what’s happening this year with the sideshow for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in the footage below.

Instead of the previous appearance of the Seven Dwarfs, Disney has decided to outfit the original sideshow characters in new Halloween attire for the after-hours event. While this isn’t the first time the characters have been changed, it could definitely be a new experience for many guests.

Donald, Goofy, and all the others aren’t the only seasonal characters available during this event. They’re joined by Jack Skellington, Mirabel, and Bruno, as well as other classic Disney characters in their finest Halloween regalia. In keeping with Halloween tradition, Disney has also hosted a few meet and greets with villains, including Jafar, the Queen of Hearts, and even Cruella De Vil.

All of these characters and more can be found throughout the Magic Kingdom and other locations at Walt Disney World Resort. However, the Halloween theme is only available for a limited time, so excited guests should enjoy it while they can.
