Every holiday season since 2014 (except for 20200, in the lobby of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel sits a large gingerbread replica of … Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel.
These photos are from the 2014 Gingerbread House. Isn’t it impressive?
Created by the same team that makes the Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house each year, this massive creation was made with 500 pounds of gingerbread, 60 gallons of icing, and 200 pounds of sugar! A total of 25 Cast Members worked 1400 hours to bring this masterpiece to life.
There is a ton of beautiful detail on the house, including an edible replica of the famous stained glass doors from the hotel’s entrance! And keep your eyes peeled for some hidden Mickeys. I spotted 3 or 4 made of icing! And I’m sure there are some that are more hidden.
Can you spot the (at least) two hidden Mickeys in the above picture?
Alongside the gingerbread house is the GCH Treat Cart, selling hot cocoa & apple cider (with or without rum), and yes, Gingerbread cookies!
This is a really fun addition to the holiday season at The Disneyland Resort and I hope they expand it to all three hotels next year!
And I can’t resist featuring a picture of the beautiful Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel lobby tree … my favorite Christmas tree on property, I think!
Merry December!
