    Default MNSSHP-Headless Horseman

    Hi, I was wondering where the best spot was to see the headless horseman at the parade. I can't remember where I was told.

    We, my DH and I, love the Halloween party but last time didn't get a good view....

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The parade actually ends in Town Square (it starts in Frontierland).

    The years we went to MNSSHP, the parade ended at Splash Mountain.......sooooo I guess they change it up year after year.

    I think anywhere along the parade route is good as he goes the route before the parade. We try to get a spot right in front of Casey's on Main Street.

    It may have just been a one time thing (every year I've gone, it's started in Frontierland)

    Anywhere along the parade route is a good spot, IF you stake out a front row seat/spot early. It's one of the neatest things about MNSSHP, that and the gravediggers dancing with their "sparking" shovels.

    My suggestion for this parade is to first verify with a cast member where the parade begins and ends. (when we went it stepped off in Frontier Land).

    Then, I would also recommend sitting somewhere along the first 1/3 or 1/4 of the parade route. This is because the headless horseman's pace is much greater than the speed of the parade and depending on where you are sitting there can be quite a delay from the sighting of the headless horseman and the parade. When I went, we were in the hub in front of the castle and we waited a long while for the parade to finally arrive.
