Right in time for the spookiest time of the year (since Halloween begins at Walt Disney World on August 9), a new Ichabod Crane projection has been added to a window in Liberty Square at Magic Kingdom.
Ichabod Crane Projection
The projection is in the top right window of Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe, which already had an Ichabod Crane reference (as pictured below).
A hanging sign off the side of the building reads, “Music & Voice Lessons by appointment only. Ichabod Crane, Instructor.” It appears he’s being implicated to either live above the shop or use it for the lessons.
Ichabod Crane is best known from “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad,” an animated film from 1949. It’s based on “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving. The story follows Ichabod as he moves to Sleepy Hollow to become the local schoolteacher and encounters the Headless Horseman (who typically kicks off Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party).
The projection lasts approximately 90 seconds and runs about every five minutes after sunset.
Ichabod can be seen in the window lighting the candle, reading and drinking tea, and then blowing out the candle.
