food IS a theme park
The resorts around Disney World get decked out for the holiday season, but Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa might just be one of the most beautiful.
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
From the stunning tree in the lobby to the rest of the holiday decor, this is one resort you’ll want to visit at least once during the holidays. And we haven’t even MENTIONED the grand gingerbread house the resort comes up with every year! [Read more…]
Holiday cheer is in the air at Walt Disney World!
Christmas Tree at American Adventure in EPCOT
EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays has officially begun, and we can’t wait to see everything the festival has in store! Although the big gingerbread displays at the resorts have been canceled this year, one annual gingerbread display is BACK but in a new location.
Disney has made some AMAZING things out of gingerbread over the years!
Grand Floridian Gingerbread House in 2019
Even though there won’t be any massive gingerbread displays in the resorts this year, we have seen some very intricate, smaller creations, like a gingerbread/chocolate sculpture at Disney’s Grand Floridian and a gingerbread model of the Contemporary Resort. We’ll also be on the lookout for a gingerbread display to appear at EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays! If all this talk of gingerbread is making you want to build a creation of your own, then we’ve got good news for you — shopDisney is holding a gingerbread contest this year!
2020 will be remembered for a lot of big things. It’s the year everything — including Disney World — shut down, the year we saw never before seen mask mandates in the park, and, for fans of the Holiday Season, the year we won’t get to see all of the elaborate gingerbread displays we’ve looked forward to each year at Disney World.
Grand Floridian’s Gingerbread House
But there is at least ONE gingerbread display we know we can look forward to checking out this year (and it’s a favorite of ours!).
It may be a world of pumpkins and spice in Disney World right now (or still near 100 degrees!) but it’s time to start thinking about the Christmas season.
Gingerbread Castle
Disney just dropped a BOMBSHELL on everyone with details of what is — and more importantly ISN’T — going to be included in this year’s festivities at Disney World. We’ve now learned a long-time fan-favorite tradition won’t be making the cut this year.
Disneyland is home to some very impressive gingerbread works-of-art this holiday season!
Grand Californian Gingerbread Display
First, we were spooked out by the Haunted Mansion’s gingerbread house, then we were treated to the stately Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa’s gingerbread display located in its lobby!
We’re at Disney Springs today to welcome another gingerbread display to the ever-growing Disney World gingerbread house family!
Amorette’s Patisserie
We spotted the recent addition at Amorette’s Patisserie! Let’s head there now!
Sleigh bells ring, are yah listenin’?
Saratoga Springs Resort — A Disney Vacation Club Resort
We’ve had so much fun spotting all of the different gingerbread displays tucked around Disney World. What’ve we found so far? A whole gingerbread lineup including supersized displays like the Grand Floridian Gingerbread House, the Beach Club Gingerbread Carousel, the Contemporary Gingerbread Castle, and the new Wilderness Lodge Gingerbread Cabin. Well today, we spotted a smaller display at Saratoga Springs that is still super impressive!
As you may already know, we were front and center at the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa’s Gingerbread House this morning!
Grand Floridian’s Gingerbread House
And although Disney’s Grand Floridian’s Gingerbread House is SUPER magical in and of itself, we were truly enchanted by this special new holiday treat being sold inside its snack shop!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa today was FILLED with the sweet aroma of freshly baked gingerbread this morning!
