Seriously, the amazing Cast Members/cookie engineers/pastry chefs/magicians have outdone themselves again! The chimney is ready for Santa, the shingles are delightfully snowy, and the attention to detail is everywhere.

There’s even a tiny, adorable GINGERBREAD village on the porch of the gingerbread house. Why not?

You won’t want to miss this perennial favorite. We call him Hangry Santa because we can only assume he looks so ornery because he hasn’t had a gingerbread cookie yet.

Let’s help Hangry Santa. Welcome to the gingerbread house Bake Shop!

There’s a handy paper menu so you can scope our your choices before you step up to the counter. Note that there are several gluten-free options for those with allergies, plus two columns of Disney Dining Plan-eligible snacks.

You can always get the classic Gingerbread Shingle. It’s a replica of those used on the roof of the house!

Or go with this new dapper Penguin Cookie in honor of the Floridian’s Mary Poppins penguins. He’s adorable!

As with any good Christmas treats spread, there are lots of other cookies from which to choose as well. And some are downright beautiful! The flower print on this cookie is pretty stunning.
