Work is well underway on the annual gingerbread house at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa at Walt Disney World.


The life-sized gingerbread display, a long-standing tradition at the Grand Floridian, will officially open on November 6, 2024, welcoming guests for the holiday season.




Disney pastry chefs create this impressive structure each year using hundreds of pounds of gingerbread, icing, and other ingredients to assemble the house, which doubles as a holiday-themed snack stand. This year's display will bring the same signature Victorian charm, complete with intricate details and festive decorations, adding to the Grand Floridian's seasonal atmosphere.


Once open, visitors will have the chance to purchase holiday treats right from the gingerbread house, with options like gingerbread shingles, cookies, and other seasonal specialties crafted by Disney's culinary team.

Stay tuned for more updates as the Grand Floridian completes its 2024 gingerbread house.

Can't. They first need to have the brand-new Mickey's Egg-stravaganza Easter parties, followed by the debuting Mickey's Summer-tastic Party. Only then can they think about Halloween parties in early August.

EPCOT today still has the American Adventure Tree and most its its entrance and World Showcase decor up. It is going to be a busy night tonight!

Not Halfway to Halloween. Halfway to Halfway to Halloween. That should be like right now! They should have parties!

They have in the past (though not last year, I don’t think). Some years, there were even special treats that week in April.

Perhaps they’re just a little early for Christmas 2025.

Lol, well a lot more would be better if WDW was like Tokyo lol, but anyway. It is a shame WDW doesn’t do more for Easter.
