Pete's Silly Sideshow is a circus-themed character greeting area in the Storybook Cir-
cus part of Fantasyland. The characters' costumes are distinct from the ones normally
used around the parks. Characters available include Goofy as The Great Goofini,
Donald Duck as The Astounding Donaldo, Daisy Duck as Madame Daisy Fortuna,
and Minnie Mouse as Minnie Magnifique. On non-Extra Magic Hour days, Pete's
opens 45 minutes later than the rest of the park and usually closes at the same time
as the first

fireworks show. The queue is indoor and air-conditioned. Note that
there is one queue for the male characters (Goofy and Donald) and a second queue for
the female characters (Minnie and Daisy). You can meet two characters at once but
must line up twice to meet all four.

You'll have a long wait, but the beauty of the carousel (formerly known as Cinder-
ella's Golden Carrousel) captures everyone. The carousel, built in 1917, was dis-
covered in New Jersey, where it was once part of an amusement park. It is beautifully
maintained and especially magical at night when all the lights are on. Check out your
children's delighted expressions as the painted ponies go up and down.
