Big Top Souvenirs reopens on August 21, 2026, in Storybook Circus, Fantasyland, Magic Kingdom, after closing on February 20, 2026, for an extensive exterior and interior refurbishment. The shop sits across from Dumbo the Flying Elephant and right next to Pete's Silly Sideshow, putting it at the heart of the Storybook Circus area.
That setup is part of what makes this spot worth a stop beyond just shopping.
The Treat Lineup
According to themainstreetmouse.com, the treats are designed around Mickey and Dumbo character themes that fit the circus setting. Here's the full menu returning with the reopening:
Caramel Apples
- Mickey Churro Caramel Apple: A Granny Smith apple with marshmallow ears, Werther's Original caramel, white chocolatey coating, and churro cinnamon sugar
- Dumbo Caramel Apple: A Granny Smith apple with sugar cookie ears, Werther's Original caramel, chocolatey coating, a red fondant collar, and a yellow chocolatey hat
- Minnie Pink Lemonade Cupcake: Pink lemonade cake with buttercream frosting, white chocolatey ears, sprinkles, and a chocolatey bow
- Mickey Vanilla Celebration Cupcake: Vanilla cake with buttercream frosting, dark chocolatey ears, colorful chocolatey stars, and a sprinkle surprise inside
- Mickey Snowcone Marshmallow Pop: A marshmallow with fruit-flavored chocolatey coating and colorful sanding sugars
- Dumbo Sandwich Cookie: Two Dumbo-shaped sugar cookies with vanilla buttercream and colorful sprinkles
- Mickey Circus Cookie: A Mickey-shaped sugar cookie with pink or white chocolatey coating and colorful sprinkles
- Circus Chips: Corn chips coated in brown sugar and cinnamon
- Big Top Dippers: Animal crackers and apple slices served with vanilla buttercream, Werther's Original caramel, and colorful sprinkles for dipping
What to Know Before You Go
The shop has been closed for roughly six months, so the reopening on August 21 brings back a spot that a lot of Fantasyland regulars have been missing. If you're planning a Magic Kingdom visit around that date and you have kids in tow, or you just appreciate a well-made caramel apple, Storybook Circus is worth building into your day. The Big Top Dippers are a nice lower-key option if you want something to snack on without committing to a full apple or cupcake.
