According to WDW Magic, Disney World’s Grand Floridian Gingerbread House holiday attraction will not be on display this year due to the resort’s lobby renovation project.
Disney Food Blog further confirmed the news on Instagram. “Space constraints from the lobby renovations coming to the resort mean there just isn’t enough room for the massive (and magical) display we usually see filling the lobby with that warm, sugary scene.”
The project is reportedly scheduled from April to November 2025. It will temporarily impact the usual holiday displays within the famous Disney World resort’s lobby.
However, while the famous holiday attraction will not be available this year, Disney World will have multiple gingerbread displays throughout the parks and other resorts.
Disney Food Blog noted there will be gingerbread displays at The Contemporary Resort, Animal Kingdom Lodge, and Beach Club Resort.
“So while we’ll definitely miss the Grand’s holiday centerpiece this year,” Disney Food Blog added. “There’s still plenty of sweet magic to explore.”
