That means there are tons of decorations to admire at all the parks, holiday snacks and merchandise have arrived, and holiday parties are starting. But it also means that one of our favorite projects returns — the Contemporary Resort Gingerbread Display is now OPEN for guests to admire and buy treats!

That’s right, the massive gingerbread display is complete and ready for business. We were there on opening morning to check it out!

Gingerbread Display

This is a yearly tradition put on by many of Disney World’s hotels where guests can admire gigantic gingerbread houses (made entirely out of gingerbread!) and even buy treats from the shop inside.

The details

This is the 12th year of the display and the stunning Cinderella Castle look-alike features 12 hidden Mickeys, along with two large Mickey and Minnie sculptures. It’s a Mary Blair-inspired design, which is very fitting for the Contemporary!

There’s a hidden Mickey way up at the top!

Along with the opening of the gingerbread display, you can grab some special treats and some unique merchandise! Next to the registers, we spotted these Contemporary gingerbread display ornaments and pins.

If you’re in the mood for some snacks, there are quite a few choices! They’ve got classic choices like Peppermint Bark and gingerbread cookies, as well as more unique treats and a few that are exclusive to the Contemporary.

The Five-Legged Goat Sugar Cookie is a classic nod to a Contemporary icon…

Disclosure: In nearly all circumstances, Disney Food Blog writers and photographers pay full price for their own travel, hotel, food, beverage, and event tickets. We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney World to attend their media preview of the Contemporary Hotel’s Gingerbread House. Note that when we attend events as media we are 1) Not required to review that event/food on any of our channels, and 2) Not required to review that event/food favorably. You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy. Thank you for reading. — AJ
