2019 Disney Gingerbread house Grand Floridian Resort

2019 Disney Gingerbread house Grand Floridian Resort We’ve been anxiously watching the construction of this year’s Gingerbread House at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. A tradition that began back in 1999, the life-sized gingerbread display celebrated its 21st season with an extravagant grand opening ceremony featuring none other than the resort’s incredible pastry team and even a royal visit from Aurora. This popular holiday display stands 14 feet tall in the lobby of the resort. Throughout the year, using a classic Austrian gingerbread recipe, the Grand Floridian pastry chefs spend over 400 hours baking the 10,000 gingerbread pieces it takes to create the display. Once base structure is completed, the chefs spend an entire week decorating the house with over 1,000 pounds of honey, 700 pounds of chocolate, 600 pounds of confectioners sugar, and many more ingredients. This year, the house features 21 hidden Mickeys in celebration of its 21st season.
