"Sporting the nickname “the most magical place on earth” comes with certain responsibilities, and during the holidays, one is gingerbread. Fortunately, Walt Disney World takes that responsibility seriously, with a number of gingerbread displays and eats throughout its parks and resorts. In 2025, grandiose gingerbread structures such as castles, carousels, and creatures can be found in five resort lobbies: Disney’s Contemporary Resort, BoardWalk Inn, Beach Club Resort, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Wilderness Lodge. Additionally, EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays in Communicore Hall features a gingerbread rendering of its iconic Spaceship Earth. Throughout the parks, gingerbread treats abound, occasionally in traditional cookie form but also as brownies, eggnog, and cake." - Pamela Vachon
