Where to find the (limited number of) gingerbread houses at Disney World in 2021

After a 2020 hiatus, gingerbread houses are returning to Disney World in 2021! However, not many are on the list of returning displays like in years past. Here is where you can find them this year.

Gingerbread houses

One of my personal favorite things to do at Disney during the Christmas season is take in all the fun activities and food that is only around for a short time. Christmas is a special time to visit Disney World because they really go all out for Guests.

The gingerbread houses are one such thing that Disney does really well. The resorts are decorated just as beautifully as the parks, and hopping around to all of them can be a fun activity on a rest day or when you are visiting a nearby park.

Disney has just announced where you can find the gingerbread houses this year. From Disney Parks Blog:

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa

This stunning life-size storybook gingerbread house with “cinnamon clouds” puffing from the chimney is beautifully decorated with white chocolate candy canes, edible snowflakes, and sugar poinsettias. Treats for sale include house-made Gingerbread Houses and Gingerbread Ornaments. (Nov. 10-Jan. 1)

Disney’s Beach Club Resort

This life-size spinning carousel is a holiday tradition at Disney’s Beach Club Resort. The Little Mermaid is the theme with hand-painted holiday characters, handcrafted gingerbread shingles, and fondant snowflakes. And don’t forget to pop over to the Yacht Club lobby and see the adorable holiday village with a miniature train. (Nov.1-Jan. 2)

The American Adventure Gingerbread Display – The EPCOT pastry chefs have recreated the Lincoln Memorial and Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in miniature edible versions along with The American Adventure building and an EPCOT Festival Holiday Kitchen. (Nov. 26-Dec. 30)

It doesn’t appear that the gingerbread will come back to every resort it was at before. For example, the Contemporary Resort, the Boardwalk and Wilderness Lodge are not on the list above. Hopefully more will be announced in the future.
