Overview
- Now open on the resort’s 4th floor, the display marks the first gingerbread installation to go up at Walt Disney World this season and is the Contemporary’s 14th annual edition, with hours starting at 9:30 a.m.
- The Cinderella Castle design stands about 17 feet tall and 25 feet wide, took roughly 30 days to assemble with 40 cast members, and uses over 1,200 gingerbread bricks alongside 613 pounds of sugar and 440 jars of honey.
- Visual touches include the retired Dream Lights motif, 14 hidden Mickeys tied to the display’s 14 years, and a nod to the Contemporary’s five‑legged goat.
- A staffed kiosk serves items such as a Gluten/Wheat‑Friendly Gingerbread Mickey Cookie ($11.79), Santa Mickey Éclair ($7.29), Pistachio Cranberry and Cherry Cake ($7.79), Frozen Hot Cocoa (non‑alcoholic $6.29 or spiked options), and a Gingerbread Martini ($18.50).
- Holiday merchandise features a Contemporary ornament ($24.99), a scented resort pin ($22.99), and a 2025 Gingerbread Collection mug ($19.99), while WDW News Today published hands‑on ratings of the bakery case treats.
