Disney4me Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 There is a new character in Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom If you stroll the streets of Liberty Square, you may know about the doll in the window and the boy that we nicknamed “Tomato Baby” in Liberty Tree Tavern. Well, now there is a new character in town, but similar to the doll and “Tomato Baby,” this character is not the typical walk-around character that you may be used to meeting in the park. Liberty Square is home to the Haunted Mansion, the Liberty Square Riverboat, the Hall of Presidents, and, of course, the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. At the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe, you can get ears and celebration buttons personalized for a small fee. We love to upgrade our celebration buttons here as it makes for a cheap and fun souvenir to take home to remember your trip! You can also find ornaments here, and certain ones can also be personalized for a fee. This is also a perfect place to visit if you need to feel the Christmas spirit year-round! Upgrade your button! Now, the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe has a new resident living right above the gift shop! Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe Recently, when we were visiting Magic Kingdom, we noticed someone up in the window—it was Ichabod Crane! Hey, Ichabod! If you don’t know who Ichabod Crane is, we are here to introduce you! Ichabod Crane is the main character from the 1949 short film The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which is fitting because you can visit Sleepy Hollow Refreshments right across the way from the Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe. Here, you can find funnel cakes and different Mickey waffles, except we really do miss the waffle sandwiches that were once served here. Mr. Crane Ichabod Crane also starred in the 1949 film The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. While Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride no longer exits Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, you can still ride the attraction in Disneyland. Mr. Toad does have representation in Liberty Square, and you can find him in the pet cemetery of the Haunted Mansion! Pet cemetery in Haunted Mansion queue If you are looking to catch Ichabod Crane, we timed it and found that he comes on about every five minutes. The show goes on for about a minute and 40 seconds before he disappears. This is a continuous experience. NEW IN MAGIC KINGDOM! Ichabod Crane (a new projection of him anyway) can be found in the window above Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Liberty Square! Crane DOES “teach music and voice classes by appointment”, so look out for this fun reference next time you pass by! pic.twitter.com/ZqpWiuVKYc — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) July 27, 2024 We noticed that when the window starts to glow blue, the projector is turning on which means Ichabod Crane’s arrival is imminent. Blue glow from the projector We are so happy that Disney is continuing to add small details like this throughout the parks. It keeps the magic alive and is a fun new experience for visitors to walk by! We were sure excited to see him pop up! Ichabod Crane So, if you are headed to the Haunted Mansion or are stopping by Liberty Tree Tavern for a delicious American-esque Thanksgiving meal, then make sure to stop and say hello to Ichabod Crane!
