A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the 2024 Grand Floridian Gingerbread House Construction
Posted: Friday November 1, 2024 10:27am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Work is well underway on the annual gingerbread house at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa at Walt Disney World.


The life-sized gingerbread display, a long-standing tradition at the Grand Floridian, will officially open on November 6, 2024, welcoming guests for the holiday season.




Disney pastry chefs create this impressive structure each year using hundreds of pounds of gingerbread, icing, and other ingredients to assemble the house, which doubles as a holiday-themed snack stand. This year's display will bring the same signature Victorian charm, complete with intricate details and festive decorations, adding to the Grand Floridian's seasonal atmosphere.


Once open, visitors will have the chance to purchase holiday treats right from the gingerbread house, with options like gingerbread shingles, cookies, and other seasonal specialties crafted by Disney's culinary team.

Stay tuned for more updates as the Grand Floridian completes its 2024 gingerbread house.

Did they change anything else? Interesting that they remove a song, although it's not incessively popular so I don't think it'll be missed. I think splitting up those other two makes it a much better show.

Wait until they hear how many bricks make up Cinderella Castle.

You'll be surprised to learn I don't have high regard for the modern topiaries that are just chia-fied mannequins!!!

The carousel certainly seems more impressive to me - but all of the displays are fun. Spaceship earth just suffers from the festival center surrounding it :-/ - they may as well have put it in a high school gymnasium.

You defend just about everything they do and this is the hill you’ll die on? I’ll never understand penguins.

i actually don’t remember peace on earth being in the candlelight… but I know they have changed a few things over the years. It’s such a beautiful show, literally worth the price of an Epcot admission.

Hallelujah and joy to the world were put back to being separate songs now, they removed let there be peace on earth, and the outro VOL arrangement was altered a bit

Which ones? I didn’t notice anything different but maybe I missed something.

I didn’t say it wasn’t! I think it’s amazing! But another poster was talking about the structures

It’s still impressive though. Let’s see your attempts at it if you think it’s so easy! 😉

Disney should just paste sheets of gingerbread to the entirety of their resorts and claim they're all gingerbread hotels!!
