Meet the Chefs of the Gingerbread Houses at Walt Disney World This Month

This month, beautiful gingerbread houses are returning to select Disney Resorts at Walt Disney World Resort. As done in previous years, the Disney pin team has created several new limited-edition pins inspired by these marvelous creations. Jeanne Lewis, merchandiser for Disney pins, said the Disney pastry chefs selected each of the characters found on the pin designs.

The pin for Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa this year commemorates the 15th anniversary of their gingerbread house, the infamous five-legged goat from the Grand Canyon Concourse made it to the Disney’s Contemporary Resort pin and the gingerbread design at Disney’s Boardwalk is new this year. The pin features Mickey Mouse dressed like he is working in turn of the century soda shop.

Here are the dates and times to meet the talented Disney chefs this month.
