The 22nd Annual Gingerbread Carousel Now On Display at Disney’s Beach Club Resort

We are at that time of year again where the parks and resorts all around Walt Disney World decorate for the holidays. We were able to stop by Disney's Beach Club Resort and see the gingerbread carousel.

What's Happening:

  • Over at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, this is the 22nd year the resort has displayed a gingerbread carousel.
  • This year's theme is Disney Princesses, which is already on display for guests to see.
  • They started back in July, and 39 pastry cooks and chefs from Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts spent over 600 hours creating this beautiful work of art.

  • The entire carousel is completely edible, with 2,021 pieces of gingerbread and many more ingredients.
  • The basic structure is similar to last year's decoration, with a snow-covered gingerbread roof.

  • You can see that the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary logo is incorporated.

  • On top of the snow covered mountain, you can see Cinderella Castle, which is decorated for the 50th Anniversary as well.

  • There are many Princesses incorporated, including Belle, Elsa, Snow White, and Tiana. If you are a fan of hidden Mickeys, there are plenty to find in this spinning masterpiece.

  • You can check out video of the carousel as well:
