Suffice it to say, the most magical place on earth somehow becomes even more magical during the holiday season, especially when you stay at any one of the fabulous resorts on-site. One resort in particular that really elevates their lobby during the Christmas season is Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Not only is the resort filled with decorations and even a meandering Santa Claus, but there also is a life-size gingerbread house! That’s right, this giant gingerbread house in Florida is 14-feet tall and it’s filled with sweets you can buy!
Inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you’ll find a magical winter wonderland all decked out for the holidays.

This larger-than-life house is 14-feet tall and calls for more than 1,000 pounds of honey, 800 pounds of flour, 600 pounds of chocolate, 600 pounds of powdered sugar, 140 pints of egg whites, and 35 pounds of spices to create.

The entire house is comprised of more than 5,000 individual gingerbread shingles, and takes nearly 400 hours of baking and 160 hours of constructing!

But what’s even cooler about this gingerbread house is that it’s also a sweets shop! That’s right, you can walk up to the house from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day and shop The Bake Shop inside.
