10/5 New Fantasyland Photo Update Including Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Storybook Circus

 

Pete's Silly Sideshow empties into Big Top Souvenirs, which one guest laughed about – but when it's raining, I prefer to be led into a gift shop than outside! We had a ton of rain last night. There are assorted goodies for sale, including cupcakes with Dumbo theming, candy apples, snacks, etc. And there is some Storybook Circus merchandise, but so far, most of it is aimed at kids.

We went back outside, and into Pete's Silly Sideshow to see Minnie Manifique and Madame Daisy Fortuna. Check out our video of them!

 

 

 

 

We walked back outside before the heavy rain hit. There is a lot of great theming here!

 

 

 

Back inside Big Top Souvenirs for a few last photos:

And here are a couple of photos I took earlier on Dumbo. There are trees mostly in the way, but you can see the Ariel's Grotto sign:

 

 

 

We both enjoyed Pete's Silly Sideshow. It'd have been nice to have unique characters to meet, but I do love the new costumes for Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Minnie. The queue is well done as well – once inside, you can see where the characters are. Storybook Circus is now completely open!

Thanks to Jeff for taking most of our videos (and editing all of them!) Our YouTube channel has well over 11 million views now. And our Mousesteps Weekly show will include a discussion of this new addition to Storybook Circus!

We are also hoping once we undergo the upgrades and move, to have the website designed to be even more user friendly. That will likely be sometime next year.
