The Headless Horseman Rides At The Magic Kingdom

During my trip to Walt Disney World this October I'll be encountering the Headless Horseman on 2 nights during Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. He comes just before Mickey's Not So Scary Parade and rides by so quick that most people usually miss the chance to photograph him.

You have a better chance of capturing him as a keepsake if you have your video camera on stand by, ready to start filming at a flip of a switch. You'll hear him coming, either by an announcement or the people screaming just down the parade route. He is quite a scary sight even though he's meant to be harmless.

Fun trick for your viewing family members is to hold the camera up as it records the crowd anticipating his arrival. Shake the camera slightly as if you're hands are quivering. Ask your friends and family member if they're scared- Yes I know this sounds chessy but when you watch the video later it becomes more "good times" rather than waiting... and waiting... and waiting for the Headless Horseman.

Bonus: 3 songs from Disney's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
