The Headless Horseman Secret Event Disney World Is Keeping
Did you know there is a secret Headless Horseman event that Walt Disney World is keeping? You don't want to miss out on this spooky, secret event.
Halloween at Disney World
We love fall at Magic Kingdom. There is something special about seeing Magic Kingdom decked out in pumpkins. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party runs through October 31st on select evenings from 7 p.m. to midnight.
Walt Disney World Theme Parks are decked out for the Halloween season, and even select resorts offer fun fall theming. Guests can enjoy great dining and entertainment at any of the Disney Resorts.
You do not need a resort reservation to make dining reservations at select resort table-service restaurants.
Headless Horseman Secret Event
Fort Wilderness goes all out for Halloween! Many campers love to visit Disney during this time and decorate their campsite. Even if you do not have an RV, you can still stay in a cabin. This is a great way to enjoy all of the fun!
Fort Wilderness will even organize a Halloween-themed "Golf Cart Parade". This fun event can also feature a secret ride of the Headless Horseman.
Guests attending last night even received a special, limited-edition lanyard (pictured above). The Headless Horseman may appear both on Halloween and on Halloween Eve between 7:15 and 7:30 pm. Although they have been doing this for the past few years, not many people know about it.
Why the Headless Horseman Secret?
As many Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party guests are well aware, a ride by the Headless Horseman can never be guaranteed. For the safety of the rider, the horse, and guests, weather conditions must be perfect.
Secret Headless Horseman event held at Disney's Fort Wilderness.
This may be one reason for the secret, since it is never guaranteed. Also, due to the popularity of the "Golf Cart Parade", trick or treating at guest campsites, and great Halloween displays, Disney often issues a hard closure at Fort Wilderness.
A hard closure limits access to guests with a resort or dining reservation ONLY. If Disney advertised this special, limited-edition event, crowds would be too intense for Fort Wilderness.
