PHOTOS, VIDEO: Pluto, Rafiki, Big Al, and King Louie Make Surprise Appearances at Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Magic Kingdom

A seemingly random assortment of characters made a surprise appearance this morning at Pete’s Silly Sideshow in Storybook Circus at Magic Kingdom. With traditional character meet-and-greets suspended, Pete’s Silly Sideshow has been closed since March 2020. Now that some indoor meet-and-greets are returning as distanced “sightings,” we’ve been keeping an eye on Pete’s.
