Horseback Riding

Recreation at Walt Disney World · Magic Kingdom Resort Area

Recreation-ActivityMagic Kingdom Resort AreaAges 9+

Starting from $65.

Tri-Circle-D Ranch sends riders out on a 45-minute guided trail ride through the woods of Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, a genuine saddle-up experience inside the Magic Kingdom Resort Area. Horseback Riding reservations start at $65 and are open to guests 9 and older who stand over 48 inches and weigh under 250 pounds; helmets are provided and required, and no theme park admission is needed. Once the safety announcement plays, the ride leaves without stragglers.

Reservations are recommended rather than mandatory, so plan ahead but do not panic if your dates are set. Payment is due in full at booking, the one-day cancellation policy forfeits the full price on late cancellations, and weather-canceled rides are refunded.
