Those Disney World bakers aren’t messing around when it comes to making a gingerbread house!
We only spotted the sign for the Gingerbread Cabin a few days ago, and we’ve given you construction updates as the gingerbread house got closer to being finished. And, now we’re super excited to see the Gingerbread Cabin join the line-up, along with the Grand Floridian’s Gingerbread House, Beach Club’s Gingerbread Carousel, and the Contemporary’s Gingerbread Castle!
The Gingerbread Cabin at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is a home away from home for the holidays!
Thanks to our follower @Nikiterp86, we were able to see the Gingerbread Cabin in its full (adorable) glory! Although there are five Hidden Mickeys around the cabin, you can also spot…
…toy cars unloading Christmas trees…
…floral Mickey wreaths…
…Chip and Dale warming themselves by a teensy fire…
…a tree with a flannel “underskirt,” perfect for a lumberjack…
…and Humphrey the Bear (Wilderness Lodge’s fluffy and funny mascot) stringing Christmas lights along the doorframe with care.
The cabin officially opens TODAY, so be on the lookout for even MORE updates.
We’re LOVING the finished Gingerbread Cabin! It fits right into the lobby of the Wilderness Lodge, welcoming guests with a big “Merry Christmas!” during their stay. Do you think they’d give us a room key to visit the inside??
