The Christmas season is almost upon us, and along with it comes the familiar sights, sounds and smells that transport us to joyful holiday memories.

Indeed, the smell of gingerbread is already wafting through Walt Disney World® Resort as pastry chefs all across property begin to fire up their ovens to bake the countless pieces of Christmas goodness to create their awe-inspiriting baked Christmas creations.

Throughout the Christmas season you will be able to experience these holiday delights all across Walt Disney World® Resort property. But remember, no tasting!!

Disney’s Contemporary Resort is home to the Gingerbread Holiday Castle which is already currently on display. Inspired by Disney’s “Frozen” with the feel of it’s a small world the castle made of sugar snowflakes, gingerbread shingles and chocolate-coated trees boasts 16 different Hidden Olafs! The Gingerbread Holiday Castle can be found on the fourth floor in the Grand Canyon Concourse.

Yesterday the largest gingerbread house on property was unveiled inside the lobby of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Not only will you get to admire this grand gingerbread creation made from 800 pounds of flour and 1,050 pounds of honey; every day (except for Sundays) there will be gingerbread house decorating demonstrations in the lobby! Also don’t forget to pick up your gingerbread house collectible pin featuring “Alice in Wonderland”.

Just in time for the post-election season, Epcot’s American Adventure pavilion will feature a tasty recreation of the United States Capital Building beginning November 25th. Joining the US Capital Building this year will also be the Lincoln Memorial. Don’t forget to look for the five Hidden Mickeys in the display!

Tusker House Restaurant joins in with a creation of its own inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Park with an African-inspired Marketplace in its lobby beginning November 24th.

One of our favorites, The Holiday Carousel, will be back at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts in the “Beach-side” lobby again in 2016. This life-size spinning carousel is sure to delight both children and adults alike! You will want to be sure to find one or all of the 17 Hidden Mickeys; and don’t forget to pick up a limited-edition pin as well! Once you are done, swing over to the Yacht-side to see the Holiday Village and Miniature Train!

Disney’s BoardWalk Resort is taking gingerbread houses to the next level with “Gingerbread Academy”; an exciting opportunity for you to build your own gingerbread house to take home! If you’d prefer, there is also an opportunity to decorate a gingerbread cooking instead. “Gingerbread Academy” is $125.00 for up to four guests and cookie decorating is simply $8.95 per cookie ornament. Afterwards you can experience the lobby of Disney’s BoardWalk Resort which features gingerbread houses decorated by pastry chefs of the resort.
