New Holiday Items at the Contemporary?

[Exprcoofto]

Sending this from my phone before heading to AK. Last night we had dinner at Chef Mickeys and I noticed some Holiday items that I've never seen. (not sure if they are technically new, but I've never seen them.)

The first is a giant Mickey Wreath on the side of the building, outside facing BLT. By day it is pretty ugly, but at night time it's all lit up.

The next item is a Christmas display in honor of Mary Blair for her work on iasw. Nothing too fancy, they Semmelweis sone gingerbread cookies in front of a giant gingerbread tree which is all in front of the giant mural.

That's it to report so far.

I see my spotty 3G service posted two threads. Can someone please remove the other one? Thanks!

The wreath has been up for a week, the Mary Blair gingerbread display for a number of days (I put them both on my website last week). The gingerbread display is nice, though I think it clashes with the mural behind it (and they light it up too harshly at night).

Like the Mickey wreath.

And interesting in the Mary Blair designs. Now of they created a gingerbread sculpture of IASW...

That's not what I meant by new. I know it's been up for several days, buy it's a new offering this year. :wave:

Those look great. I can't wait to buy one of those little Small World Gingerbread dolls.

Nice stuff, though....

Yep the wreath is new for this year, I was fortunate enough to watch them build it over the course of the year.

So no central tree on the 4th floor? I keep hoping for a tree.

The wreath is indeed new and is the largest wreath on WDW property. My wife and I were very fortunate to be backstage at holiday services last year when they were finishing assembly and doing a test of the lights.

I got a cookie!

I bought one. Wanna guess what they are going for? Try $10. for ONE COOKIE. I bought it (after several drinks at the California Grill). I still don't know why. $10 for a cookie! Are they serious? Drunken people from the Outer Rim are the only people who are going to buy these. Like I said, I have one, but it took a few drinks and it bothered be the whole rest of the trip.

PS: The Chef Mickey cookies are $16.

$10 Are they insane?? It's a COOKIE! I'm not paying $10 for a cookie when I can pay $10 for a box of 4 rice krispie mouse heads instead.

we were at the store at CR and the cast member there was complaining about $16 for a cookie while pimping a rack of $4 fudge.
