So what’s new since the last we visited these two locations? Keep reading to find out!
Disney is really great at making beautiful things out of gingerbread!
Grand Floridian Gingerbread Houses
In years past, they’ve made gigantic gingerbread houses for display at the resorts, and while that isn’t happening this year, they’ve made several smaller creations for us to admire! We spotted a gingerbread and chocolate sculpture at the Grand Floridian, a gingerbread model of Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and now, we’ve spotted a very cute gingerbread carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort!
By now, you may have noticed that we’ve been trying all of the festive Christmas treats around Disney World!
Grand Floridian Lobbby
While some holiday snacks can be found in multiple locations around property, others are truly unique and can only be found in ONE spot! Case in point: Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa serve one-of-a-kind treats EVERY year, and some of our favorites have returned!

Nothing says “it’s the holidays in Walt Disney World” like a GIGANTIC Christmas tree!
Magic Kingdom Christmas tree
Disney LOVES to put big trees up all over the place! We’ve seen them at all four parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom), as well as several resorts (Grand FloridianandWilderness Lodge both have huge ones). Now, a very ICONIC giant Christmas tree has returned to Walt Disney World — the Contemporary Resort tree!
We’ve got three words for you Christmas. Coconut. Macaroon. Oh yeah.
