Fort Wilderness Campground – Return To Sleepy Hollow
This year Walt Disney World introduced what will sure to be a new Halloween tradition with the “Return To Sleepy Hollow” event. We all know the Headless Horseman and his ride as part of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party but now not only do you get a viewing of the 1949 Disney animated classic film “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” you get a chance to have an up-close encounter with the Horseman.

This unique event takes place inside the stables of Tri-Circle D ranch among the horse of Walt Disney World. Accommodating about 100 guests, this most intimate of settings really adds to the evening as you can hear the horse around you moving which added to the big chase at the end of the short really made for an eerie feel.
