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.

Glad we booked Biergarten!

Diamond Horseshoe and Biergarten have full decor. And La Hacienda de San Angel has minimal decor but has at least wreaths. There might be more but there’s at least still some table service restaurants that decorate.

Could this be the last yeah I have to hear John Legends awful, woke “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”? I’m pretty woke but…cringe.

You know, looking back on it, Disney always had a sort of certain charm in the 70's and early 80's with its notable C List celebrities they'd get to appear in TV specials like this. And with the odd exception of Elton John, that is definitely a C List. But somehow, when it's actually happening, the C Listers of today aren't as charming at the time as they'll be 20 years from now. Also, I'm pretty sure a couple names on that guest list are going to be mentioned in the upcoming Sean Combs trial.

I looked at the 17th; but when I compare the cost for two of us to attend vs. the price of a Pixie Pass, it gives me pause. It’s just a few dollars less. We are going 12/16-12/18 and 12/24-12/26. The price of single day tickets to go on Christmas are also almost as much as a Pixie Pass, and you can’t buy tickets for Christmas and then apply them to an AP upgrade that would black out Christmas. So it’s looking like a Disney Springs or resort holiday unless I break down at the last minute.

What’s baffling to me is this bothering you. You act like it’s important. It’s trivial. Now you’re getting it.

It doesn't seem like Disney is decorating any F&B locations anymore. I have noticed that all decor has returned to Merchandise locations though.

It's funny that after Disney left to create their own cruise line Warner Bros took over the Big Red Boat..

The first "Disney Cruise Line", Premier Cruise Line. I did a high school senior cruise with them from Port Canaveral to Nassau and back.

Seth still gets paid by Disney for Family Guy (and American Dad too - since Disney produces both). And technically The Orville isn'r dead 100% either... It is a sad guest list though, that I agree.
