Disney4me Posted April 10, 2025 Report Posted April 10, 2025 Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort has been under refurbishment for a few years now. Grand Floridian Resort Starting with an overhaul of the guest rooms, this multi-year project has taken over pretty much the whole resort at one point or another, but it’s finally drawing to a close. Last but not least is the lobby update, which includes the addition of a new lobby bar. However, in order for this change to happen, it seems like we might lose a beloved tradition — the Grand Floridian gingerbread house. According to Disney, the lobby refurbishment is going to interfere with a longstanding Grand Floridian tradition. Because of the renovations, the giant gingerbread house display will not be available this year. Can you believe that’s gingerbread? The Grand Floridian lobby gingerbread house has been a tradition of the resort for the last 25 years, and we’ll definitely be disappointed to not have it in 2025. It typically draws heavy crowds to the resort during the holiday season with its impressive craftsmanship and delicious seasonal treats. Gingerbread shingle Work on the lobby is set to begin this month and will last through November 2025, which goes into the time that the gingerbread house is usually open. Due to space constraints, they won’t have the room to build the massive structure (seriously, it’s the size of a small cottage). However, Disney has confirmed to us that the other gingerbread displays at Disney World hotels will be returning. It’s seriously big. So if you can’t get your gingerbread fix at the Grand Floridian, you could visit the Contemporary gingerbread castle, the Beach Club gingerbread carousel, or even the BoardWalk’s mini gingerbread model of the resort itself.

The construction project will include updates to the carpet, new furniture, and the addition of the Grand Floridian Lobby Bar. ©Disney We’ll make sure to keep you in the loop with any more news from this resort.
