Disney4me Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 There’s more gingerbread in store for you at Walt Disney World now that the season is in full swing! Let’s take a look at a couple of the most anticipated displays of the holidays…Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Gingerbread HouseThe Grand Floridian Gingerbread House is open for the season!Grand Floridian Gingerbread House 2014Grand Floridian Gingerbread House 2014Just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday, the Gingerbread House began celebrating its 16th year.Grand Floridian Gingerbread House operating hoursIt’s always fun to see the massive ingredients list!Gingerbread House ingredientsOpen daily for the remainder of the year from 10 am to 10 pm (though it will likely close early on New Years Eve), the unique thing about the Grand Floridian’s gingerbread display is that it is a fully functioning snack stop, with Cast Members serving up gingerbread and other sweet treats through this cheerful window.Treat windowThe traditional Gingerbread Shingles return, along with some other familiar seasonal treats like Peppermint Bark and boxes of Stollen Bread (with a printed history of the traditional German treat attached).GF gingerbread shingleStollen Bread and Peppermint BarkMickey PopThe beautifully detailed Gingerbread Ornaments are probably my favorite things to look at.Large Gingerbread OrnamentMickey Gingerbread OrnamentRed Velvet Cupcakes are available alongside White Chocolate Snowmen.White Chocolate Snowman and Red Velvet CupcakeGluten-free choices include Gingerbread Men, but also Ginger Chocolate-Chip Bread, Cinnamon Toastie Bread, and Brownie Bites.Gingerbread MenAnd if you had any doubt whether the cast of “Frozen†could be found at the Grand Floridian Gingerbread House, too, then doubt no more!

I guess you could say it was a Carousel in Progress. (Bah-DUM-pah! Thanks, folks… I’ll be here all week!)Creating the Gingerbread CarouselThough the chefs were busy at work decorating the display, the main cast of characters was well in place: Fleet, Splendor, Mistletoe, and Snowball!FleetSplendorMistletoeSnowballAnd it was pretty fun seeing some behind-the-scenes magic taking place.Final touches on the CarouselHere’s something good to know about the Beach Club: most of the annual gingerbread displays have the snacks right there at the display, similar to the Grand Floridian above, or the Contemporary Resort’s display. There are gingerbread snacks at the Beach Club, but they are found in the Beach Club Marketplace, the resort’s Quick Service location (which is also the gift shop).Beach Club MarketplaceIt’s there you’ll find Gingerbread Shingles, this time decorated with the Yacht & Beach Club logo, or Disney Vacation Club logo (for the Beach Club Villas).Yacht & Beach Club Gingerbread ShingleStollen Bread can be found here as well.Stollen BreadHere are some examples of the cute gingerbread houses that you can purchase at a few of the resort displays.Gingerbread HouseGingerbread HouseGingerbread HousesMickey Butter Cookies and Gingerbread Snowflake Cookies are here, too.Mickey Butter Cookie and Gingerbread Snowflake CookieUnique to the Beach Club are some of the characters you’ll find on their Chocolate-covered Cookie Sandwich Pops, like Ariel, reflecting the resort’s nautical theme.Ariel Chocolate-covered Cookie Sandwich PopsAnd here’s a guy you don’t see nearly enough of ‘round the holidays… Captain Hook!Captain Hook Chocolate-covered Cookie Sandwich PopsTinkerbell and Olaf (What? No way! ) round out the batches.Tinkerbell Chocolate-covered Cookie Sandwich PopsOlaf Chocolate-covered Cookie Sandwich PopsI grabbed an Ariel Cookie Sandwich Pop to give it a go. Pretty cute, right?Ariel Chocolate-covered Cookie Sandwich PopAriel Chocolate-covered Cookie Sandwich PopAnd it’s pretty much exactly what the name tells you: a chocolate and cream sandwich cookie covered with a thick layer of white chocolate. And I do mean thick — a little white chocolate goes a loooong way. It was so rich that I found this little treat to be a lot more filling than I expected.Ariel Chocolate-covered Cookie Sandwich Pop insideBe prepared to ring in the holiday sugar rush with one of these!And so it’s gingerbread all over the place here at Disney World… but let’s not forget to polish off what’s left of all that turkey in the meantime .
