The next gingerbread house we’re taking a look at is the gingerbread carousel over at Disney’s Beach Club. This year, the gingerbread carousel is themed to Mickey’s Christmas Carol. Last year, the gingerbread carousel was themed to Ducktales World Showcase Adventure from EPCOT. We made it out to the Beach Club Resort yesterday before heading out to Disney Jollywood Nights and found that the carousel was complete! Let’s take a look around.

Scrooge McDuck
The first horse is the Scrooge McDuck horse. As you’d imagine, the theme here is: money. A wonderful sculpt of Scrooge is found in a wreath with dollar bills and coins scattered throughout.
Ghost of Christmas Past
The next horse that we’ll take a look at is a horse themed to Jiminy Cricket, who portrays the Ghost of Christmas Past. In a scene depicted on the horse, Jiminy Cricket shows Scrooge a vision of his early life where his love of money wins over his love of Isabelle.
Ghost of Christmas Present
Next up is the Ghost of Christmas Present horse, which depicts Willie the Giant with Scrooge in his pocket. A scene on top of the horse has a banquet Christmas dinner, complete with pig and cornucopia.
Ghost of Christmas Future
The final horse on the carousel is the Ghost of Christmas Future, which depicts Pete and a scene in the cemetery where Scrooge learns that he’s “the richest man in the cemetery” as Pete pushes him into his grave. A tombstone with “RIP Ebenezer Scrooge” etched into it sits atop the horse.
Jacob Marley
The final horse sits separate from the carousel and features the ghost of Jacob Marley – represented by Goofy in the movie. Chains cover the horse, along with some more money and a piggy bank.
