↩ replying to wdwmagicLooks great and I can tell you in person, fitting the Gingerbread House in that space is going to be very tight. I wouldn’t be shocked if they find a new home for that display next year.

↩ replying to mattpetoAnother way to look at this: that would be a lot of commerce occurring in a resort lobby. Not just the usual gingerbread items from the gingerbread house but also drinks from The Perch. My first thought for the gingerbread house that fits thematically is Boardwalk. It's a smaller lobby, though.

IMHO , I like it much better without the Gingerbread house and its associated foot traffic. There are plenty of other empty venues of sufficient size that can hold the confectionary house-like gingerbread creation. It takes the lookie-loo load off of the facility and transportation.

I hope TDO is happy with the outcome and new found all important revenue. Like its been discussed by several in other threads, the vibe they are sending out of not wanting people coming to visit is really starting to be felt.

↩ replying to ToTBellHopSadly dynamic pricing for Gingerbread went through the roof, so it was shredded and made into sellable treats to be sold by Scrooge's confectionary conglomerate.

Instead, we can’t even get a decorated Whispering Canyon.
