2018 Holidays at the Walt Disney World Resort hotels

[wdwmagic]

The Grand Floridian Gingerbread house is open for business earlier than ever this year. And it also has a new location with more queuing space that should help to avoid the traffic jam on the corner of the lobby.

Wow! They must have been working on that all summer.

I love this! Every time we go close Christmas, we go over to see it. I can only imagine being a child and seeing this for the first time.

Did anyone notice the lack of a giant traditional Christmas tree in the lobby (in the pictures), do you think they 'moved' the Gingerbread House as an 'excuse' to not put the tree up? I hope not.

The gingerbread house opened before the Grand Floridian was decorated. The tree will come.

I always like seeing this, but could use an upgrade to a more edible version. It also competes with the more impressive tree in the center. The EPCOT resorts do their decorations better.

I love it, but I always wonder what they do with all of the gingerbread and other edible pieces once the season is over. Does it all just get tossed in the trash?

I'm feeling a bit verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.

I'll give you a topic.

If I can't eat it or move in, it's neither gingerbread, nor a house.

Discuss!

That is so cool! Thanks for sharing that! And I now know that they have a Disney Bee Colony over at the tree farm!

Is it really a Ginger Bread house? It has a wood foundation, it is mostly made of wood.
It is a wooden box tiled with Ginger Bread.

How do they nail the gingerbread to the wood without the hammers crushing and crumbling the gingerbread?

If you read about it from the Disney Blog, its left for the bees afterward.

That was fun! The video highlights all the team's efforts to make this beautiful gingerbread house. Love the tradition -- 20 years now!
