Big Top Souvenirs, the large circus tent gift shop in Storybook Circus at Magic Kingdom, is now closed for a refurbishment.

Big Top Souvenirs Closed

According to the Walt Disney World website, Big Top Souvenirs “is expected to reopen for Guests to enjoy later this year.” This indicates a relatively long refurbishment timeline for a gift shop. But it’s not coming out of nowhere.

Last fall, Disney filed construction permits for both Big Top Souvenirs and Pete’s Silly Sideshow. The latter closed in early January and its meet and greets moved outside. The tent roof has been completely removed. A reopening date for Pete’s Silly Sideshow is also not available.

This week, construction walls went up on the side of Big Top Souvenirs closest to Pete’s Silly Sideshow. Like the meet and greet space, the Big Top Souvenirs refurbishment is expected to be focused on the tent’s exterior.

Big Top Souvenirs sells a variety of merchandise including toys, plush, and pins, plus has a confectionery counter in the center. Guests can still shop for this merchandise throughout the park and get sweets at the Main Street Confectionery.

Back in 2024, Disney added the Smellephants on Parade experience to Storybook Circus.
