So did they have any Gingers working on the ginger bread house? Just curious.

mattpeto4 hours ago

That's my assumption. This new content actually sounds wonderful for a change. Hopefully future Festivals have unique displays in this space like this in the future. Maybe they just didn't think they would be ready by Food and Wine this year?

Wouldn't it start with festival of the Holidays?

That's hilarious irony and trolling from Disney.

Just checked a live stream. Christmas hasn't hit Communicore Hall yet. Likely will take a week.

aladdin20075 hours ago

This should be interesting! Too bad TDO didn't return the real thing to MK..........

aladdin20075 hours ago

Holiday Gingerbread news: Gingerbread Spaceship Earth. This offering in CommuniCore Hall will feature Spaceship Earth in gingerbread form. The EPCOT Festival Team and Walt Disney Imagineering have teamed up with the talented EPCOT Pastry team to create this 8-foot-tall gingerbread display, which took over 160 hours. It even will light up and dance to music throughout the day. The sphere itself is made up of almost a thousand handcrafted gingerbread triangles to mirror the iconic attraction. There are 240 pounds of honey dough, 100 eggs, 100 ounces lebkuchen spice, 55 pounds dark chocolate, and 100 pounds royal icing. For a final Disney touch, there are 11 hidden Mickeys to represent the 11 countries of the World Showcase. ----- Starting November 8, Disney’s Contemporary Resort will be getting an extra holiday (and sweet) touch with their Castle Display. This dazzling creation, back for its 13th year, can be found on the 4th floor of the resort. Walt Disney Imagineers have designed this new overlay inspired by the Cinderella Castle Dream Lights. The Contemporary Bakery team has been hard at work creating this display that stands over 17 feet tall and 25 feet wide. It’s made with 613 pounds of sugar, 1013 pounds of flour, 113 pounds of gingerbread spice, 51 pounds of chocolate, over 4,000 castle gingerbread bricks, and plenty of pixie dust! Don’t forget to search for the 13 hidden Mickeys and the one and only, 5-legged goat. You can also purchase limited-edition pins, cookie jar, and holiday ornament here, too! https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/disney-eats-foodie-guide-to-8-cant-miss-gingerbread-displays-2024
