One of the most iconic parts of Walt Disney World this time of the year is its many gingerbread displays across property. From quaint to life-sized, you’ll be in awe as you experience each gingerbread work of art! Here is the ultimate guide to gingerbread displays at Walt Disney World resort!

Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Our tour begins at Disney’s Beach Club Resort near Epcot. In this resort’s lobby you’ll find a life-size gingerbread carousel that’s completely edible! Made from gingerbread, chocolate, and honey, this iconic spinning carousel is celebrating its 20th anniversary. Themed to Peter Pan, each of the horses represents a character from the film! Keep an eye out for 20 different Hidden Mickeys that can be found throughout the carousel.

Disney’s BoardWalk Inn
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn features a miniature version of its boardwalk in the lobby during the holiday season! This year the display features the BoardWalk Bakery, Trattoria Al Forno, The Flying Fish, the ESPN Club, and more. Each gingerbread location is decorated with themed Christmas trees outside of the locations! Although this is one of the smaller displays on property, the level of detail involved in this piece is worth the visit alone. 

Disney’s Contemporary Resort
Ten years ago, Disney’s Contemporary Resort put out its very first Gingerbread Castle display! One decade later, we’re still obsessing over this fun and simple holiday icon. The display features a gingerbread Cinderella Castle, Prince Charming, Cinderella, and Fairy Godmother.
