A Look at the Walt Disney World Gingerbread Displays

A long-standing tradition of the chefs at Walt Disney World hotels has been to create gingerbread displays of their respective locations. In the past few years, the displays have become fewer but grander, focusing on mainly the signature hotels of the resort.

These displays have become as much of a tradition as the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas with some guest planning a day around the opening of each. This year, as with last, the Contemporary display is themed to Frozen but with a Mary Blair touch to it.

Of course the highlight of most gingerbread fans has to be the miniature house display at the Grand Floridian. This display is truly a “gingerbread house” complete with shingles and windows, but inside holds a store where you can purchase all the treats you can handle!IMG_6892
