Christmas is a magical time of year! It doesn’t get any more magical than being at Disney World during the Christmas season.
One longstanding tradition at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland is gingerbread displays. These displays are planned for months and created right in front of Disney guests!
2025 Gingerbread House Displays In Walt Disney World
This year Gingerbread Displays at Disney World will once again be happening. That being said, there is one HUGE change – the giant gingerbread house that has been at the Grand Floridian Resort for 25 years will not be there this year. This is likely due to the remodeling happening at the resort. Regardless of the reason, we are really sad that this won’t be a part or Disney’s gingerbread tradition in 2025.
This year you can find displays at the following Walt Disney World resorts and EPCOT:
- Disney’s Beach Club Resort – gingerbread carousel which is in its 24th year!
- Disney’s BoardWalk Inn – miniature BoardWalk gingerbread display
- Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge – life size baby gingerbread giraffe and zebra
- Disney’s Contemporary Resort – 100th celebration themed Castle gingerbread display
- Disney’s Wilderness Lodge
Disney’s Contemporary Resort Display
This is the 14th year that you will find a gingerbread display in the Grand Canyon Concourse in the Contemporary Resort!
In 2024 the display was a beautiful Cinderella’s Castle inspired design. This is usually one of the first gingerbread displays to appear in Walt Disney World.
Disney’s Beach Club Resort Gingerbread Display
Head over to the Beach club to see a life size gingerbread carousel display. This creation has been at the resort for 22 years and it actually moves!
This year the carousel is themed after Ducktales (we loved that show as kids!). The horses are decorated with inspiration coming from Donald Duck and his nephews – Huey, Duey, and Louie. Check out these fun facts about the 2025 gingerbread carousel:
- 22 Hidden Mickeys celebrate the 22nd year of the carousel
- 434 pounds of honey were used
- 25 pounds of spices went into the display
- 200 pounds of icing are on the carousel
You will find the following items available for purchase:
- Signature Stollen Bread
- Lighthouse Fudge
- Mickey Snowman Pop
- Crispy Rice Treat
- Peppermint Bark
- Gingerbread Shingle
- Hot Chocolate Flight
- Hot Chocolate
Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Gingerbread Display
This beautiful gingerbread display features the Disney BoardWalk! You will be able to find this on display from mid November through the end of December. Treats for purchase include:
- Mickey and Minnie Sugar Cookies
- Mickey Caramel Corn Cookie
- Christmas Tree Pop
- Peppermint Bark
- Gingerbread Shingles

Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Gingerbread Display
This Christmas display isn’t as iconic as the Grand Floridian gingerbread house, but it is probably the cutest display on the Disney World property! Head over to the Animal Kingdom Lodge and you can find a life size baby giraffe and baby zebra!
Ginger the giraffe and Debra the zebra are made out of gingerbread, sugar dough, and modeling chocolate. Ginger is 7 feet tall! While you are at the Animal Kingdom Lodge you can purchase treats such as the Gingeraffe Cookie and a hot cocoa flight.
Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort Gingerbread Display
We are very excited that there will be a gingerbread display at the Wilderness Lodge! This Disney Resort is the most “Christmas-y” of all the resorts, so having a display there seems like a no-brainer. The last time the Wilderness Lodge had a display was 2019.
Last year’s treats available for purchase at the Wilderness Lodge was:
- Dark Chocolate Bar
- Cheddar Gougère
- Molasses Crackle Cookie
- Cookie Box
We love special events at Walt Disney World! The Disney Parks do an amazing job of celebrating each holiday to its fullest. Find out when Disney decorates for Christmas here!
