Love it or list it: Disney World’s Massive Gingerbread House opens with a new look

Is the holiday period at Disney World, and we’ve been checking out ALL the parties!

We’ve seen decorations pop up in parks and hotels, special food added to the resort’s menus, and we even went on the first night of the Disney Very Merriest After Hours event. An iconic part of the Disney World vacation are the gingerbread houses and the most extravagant is finally open to business!

The Grand Floridian’s famous life-size gingerbread house is finally complete and open!

See you soon!

Located in the hotel lobby, the house is made with real gingerbread and will sell a variety of candies throughout the season.

Delights now available!

In fact, there is a sign in the house that lists all the ingredients needed to make the giant gift, which includes 1,050 pounds of honey, 700 pounds of chocolate and 800 pounds of flour (plus a bit of Disney Magic and Pixie Dust to make a good measure!).

These are MANY ingredients

This year the gingerbread house has taken on a special look in honor of Disney World 50th Anniversary. He EARcolors descents have made their way into design, with blue and gold accents everywhere, including lots of blue plants around the house.

A blue Christmas

We’re not sure how we look at the house this year. It is very different from the houses we have seen in the past that have been characterized mainly by red and green.

Why so blue, Santa?

It’s just … it’s very blue.

I miss red and green!

If you look closely, you can see Mickey shaped ornaments hanging from the house with the 50 on top.

And, you can really buy these ornaments, too! The number 50 gingerbread ornaments you can eat are sold as one of the delicacies you can get at home.

These look great!

There is a sign next to the house that lists all the delicacies you can buy; here’s a look at everything you can get:

The sweets were on display at a table when we went to see the house this morning.

We will take one of everything, please!

Also, the log was not yet set up in the house, so we had to check it out Sandy Cove Gift & Miscellaneous Store.
