One of my favorite Christmas traditions is getting dressed up in my holiday best and checking out all the gingerbread displays at Walt Disney World. This will be my third year checking out the resorts and this time around, I’m bringing my sister, mom, and grandma with me! I cannot wait to share this year’s displays with them!
Disney Parks and Resorts 2024 Gingerbread Displays
According to Disney Parks Blog, this year there are some new and returning creations. New this year, EPCOT will be welcoming Gingerbread Spaceship Earth modeled after the iconic attraction. Returning to Walt Disney World is the adorable Life-Size Baby Gingerbread Giraffe and Baby Zebra at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. And what holiday season at Disneyland Resort would be complete without the Haunted Mansion Holiday display nestled within the mansion itself!
EPCOT
EPCOT will be home to a brand-new creation starting on November 29 – Gingerbread Spaceship Earth. This offering in CommuniCore Hall will feature Spaceship Earth in gingerbread form. This 8-foot-tall gingerbread display will light up and dance to music throughout the day. For a final Disney touch, there are 11 hidden Mickeys to represent the 11 countries of the World Showcase.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge
Back for its fourth year, the Life-Size Baby Gingerbread Giraffe and Baby Zebra displays can be viewed in the lobby of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge starting November 24. This adorable creation features Ginger, the baby giraffe, along with Debra, the baby zebra.
New this year, there is a limited-edition pin, cookie jar, and holiday ornament inspired by Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge available for purchase. To make the season extra sweet, there will even be a Gingeraffe Cookie and specialty cocktails available for purchase.

There will also be a limited-edition collection of 25th anniversary merchandise including a pin, ornament, cookie jar, magnet, tumbler, t-shirt, and more available for purchase to commemorate your holiday memories.
