Meet Scrooge with Donald and Daisy Duck at Pete’s Silly Sideshow During Mickey’s Christmas Party

Scrooge meets with Donald and Daisy Duck inside the circus tent at Pete’s Silly Sideshow during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party in 2025. The trio begins meeting at 7:00 p.m. Pete’s Silly Sideshow is located at the back of Storybook Circus, which transforms into Santa’s Christmas Carnival during the party. You can expect a long line. It was one of the most popular meet-and-greets at the party.

We got in line to meet Donald, Daisy, and Scrooge at 6:37 p.m. Approximately 50 to 60 guests were already ahead of us. The three came out at exactly 7:00 p.m. and began meeting guests. They took their first break at 7:30 p.m. and returned at 7:35 p.m. At the break, we still had about 20 guests ahead of us. That was about 7-8 families, from what I could tell. It was 7:47 p.m. when we met them, so we waited for a total of 70 minutes (1 hour and 10 minutes).

Donald, Daisy, and Scrooge meet in front of a canvas backdrop that’s painted to look like a snowy Christmas cabin scene. The cabin is covered in snow and holiday trim with flocked trees on both sides.

Donald is wearing a red holiday sweater with white snowflakes and red earmuffs. Daisy wears a satin red dress with a diamond belt that trims the waist. The hem of her dress has sparkly snowflakes. A matching bow adorns her head.

Scrooge is as festive as he can be with his traditional blue overcoat with red trim. His top hat is wrapped with a candy cane ribbon. A vibrant green scarf is wrapped around his neck with a white and gold money sign.

A PhotoPass photographer is available at this meet-and-greet to take photos of guests. A signature card is available in place of the character’s signing autographs at this location. One side features the location’s backdrop with Donald and Daisy Duck’s silhouettes in the window.

Here are a few photos of their meet-and-greet. 

This meet-and-greet is listed on the party map and shows up on the map of character greetings in The My Disney Experience app. For whatever reason, on the night of our visit, it did not show up in the list of characters in the app. 

If you’re hoping for a shorter wait, consider showing up at this location later in the evening. By later, I would suggest during the fireworks or immediately after. We stopped by after the fireworks to check the line for Santa’s meet-and-greet, which is near this one. So, I stuck my head in the circus tent and saw the line was significantly shorter. (Unfortunately, we never met Santa because of the length of the line all night long.)
