For some things in life that are truly DELICIOUS, sometimes there are no words…
Grand Floridian Gingerbread House
Today we spotted a few new treats at Disney’s Grand Floridian’s Resort & Spa’s Gingerbread House snack shop this morning, and one thing is for sure… this one is easily one of the BEST holiday snacks we’ve tried at Disney World this Christmas season!

Grand Floridian Gingerbread House
One of the most MASSIVE of Disney Holiday treat traditions has been found in the lobby of Grand Floridian Resort for over 20 years. Every year this structural confection appears in the lobby of the Grand Floridian and it’s so big it even features its own snack stand inside the house! The construction is always a huge effort and we saw the first steps go into place today at the resort!
The Grand Floridian Gingerbread House has been a tradition for 20 years at Disney World’s flagship Resort!

The 14 feet tall house is made with 1,050 lbs of honey, 800 lbs of flour, 600 lbs of chocolate, 600 lbs of powdered sugar, 140 pints of egg whites, 35 lbs of spices, and, according to Disney, “tons of Disney Magic and Pixie Dust.”
It just so happens that the requisite “tons of Disney Magic and Pixie Dust” come by way of a full team of pastry chefs! And Disney Parks Blog has provided a time-lapse video showing the building of the Gingerbread House in the lobby as a fun holiday treat. Enjoy! [Read more…]
