The holiday season is in FULL swing in the Disney parks, and we’re certainly not complaining!

We’ve been keeping track of all the Christmas decor, figured out which new treats we can’t WAIT to eat, and have been checking in on the progress of the gorgeous gingerbread displays across the parks. And now, we know exactly when we’ll be able to enjoy the various displays in Disney World and Disneyland — and what sweet treats will be served up, too!

It’s officially one of our favorite times of the year! The holiday gingerbread displays will be debuting all across Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort.

Disney just announced where we can find these extravagant displays — plus, the eats and treats you just might find with them!
