Disney’s Grand Californian Gingerbread House Revealed
The annual gingerbread house display at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa is nothing short of magnificent. Mimicking the hotel’s distinctive architecture, this year’s edible masterpiece includes a charming nod to the Mickey’s Christmas Carol Feast character dining experience at Storytellers Cafe.
Keep a close eye out: the spectacular structure features beloved characters like Scrooge McDuck and holds a fun challenge for guests—finding all 25 Hidden Mickeys cleverly baked into the piece!
Using features of the American Craftsman style of design and the distinct color palette of brown and green earthy tones seen throughout the Grand Californian, the talented pastry team added elements like snow, bows, and wreaths to make the house truly feel like a holiday home. It took 520 pounds of gingerbread dough and 720 hours to produce this festive feat, which guests can now find in the hotel lobby.
Turning your attention to the back of the display, you’ll find a heartwarming scene: Bob and Emily Cratchit (Mickey and Minnie) lovingly exchange gifts by a cozy fireplace, framed by a festive Christmas tree. Look closely at the window to spot a spooky, transparent detail—the silhouette of Jacob Marley (Goofy) making a chilling appearance.
