Construction Begins on Gingerbread Castle at Disney’s Contemporary Resort (Featuring Disney100 Medallion)

    Published:

    Work is underway on the gingerbread castle located at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. While the lifesize gingerbread house is iconic at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, the castle has become a staple at Contemporary after changing from a Frozen-themed display in 2014-2016 to Cinderella Castle in 2017.

    Here’s a look at the display currently under construction. New this year is the Disney100 medallion that was featured on Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle earlier this year. Last year, the display featured the 50th Anniversary medallion seen on Cinderella’s Castle during the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebration.

    Found on the fourth floor of the resort from Nov. 10 through Jan. 6, 2024, this year’s Mary Blair-inspired 100th Celebration-themed Castle Display was designed by Walt Disney Imagineers for this momentous occasion for The Walt Disney Company. It stands over 17 feet tall with 612 pounds of sugar, 1012 pounds of flour, 112 pounds of gingerbread spice, over 4000 castle gingerbread bricks, and 12 sprinklings of magical pixie dust!
