Big Top Souvenirs Reopens at Magic Kingdom on August 21
After being closed for over six months due to refurbishment, Big Top Souvenirs at Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World is set to reopen on August 21, 2026. The gift shop and confectionery counter will offer a range of new menu items, including the Mickey Churro Caramel Apple and the Dumbo Sandwich Cookie.
The refurbishment included work on the tents in Storybook Circus, which were being refurbished to extend their useful life in the harsh Florida sun. The project was handled by Birdair, Inc., a company with 70 years of experience designing and building custom tensile fabric structures.
In addition to the Big Top Souvenirs reopening, Pete's Silly Sideshow will also be open during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. However, it will have a reduced roster of characters due to some moving elsewhere.
