Put away your pumpkins, everybody!

It’s November 1st, and you know what that means… It’s Christmas time!! And, while we’re super excited for all the holiday merch in Disney World, the sweet aroma of the Gingerbread Castle has us ready for some Christmas cookies!

The Gingerbread Castle has finished baking over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort with a few surprises in store for guests!

Gingerbread Castle

Although we’ve seen the progress of the castle recently, we’re more than excited for the 10th anniversary of the castle, which is a dedication to Mary Blair — one of the key Disney Imagineers and the artist behind much of “it’s a small world.”

The Gingerbread Castle’s 10th Anniversary Sign!

The castle took a gingerbread army of 39 Contemporary bakers to create the gorgeous piece, featuring shingles, peppermint swirls, and even 10 hidden symbols from Frozen, “it’s a small world”, and 9 hidden Mickeys!
