The holiday season is in full swing at Disney World and we’re taking in all the sights, sounds, smells, and of course — snacks!
Main Street Train Station
The parks have been decorated with garland, wreaths, and trees, and even the Disney World hotels are getting in on the festivities. We already checked out the gorgeous gingerbread house at the Grand Floridian, but there’s another impressive gingerbread display at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, too. And, it’s officially open!
One of our favorite parts of Disney World during the holidays are the gorgeous gingerbread displays you’ll find throughout some of the hotels on property. And, this year, we’re pretty excited about the Contemporary Resort’s display because Disney has brought the Cinderella Castle Dream Lights back! Well, sort of.
What’s behind the curtain?!
Here it is — the Cinderella Castle Dream Lights gingerbread display is officially open for visitors! You’ll find it on the fourth floor of the Contemporary Resort.

This work of art is so beautiful and impressive — the Disney chefs put SO much detail into each display, and this one is no different. You can even see the window details and the clock on the front of the castle! If these are the only Dream Lights we get, well, we’ll just have to deal with it.
So pretty!
Don’t forget to look for all of those Hidden Mickeys on the castle!

And, there are plenty of gingerbread and other treats for you to peruse and purchase as well. We picked up the Mickey Linzer cookie for $6.49.
This Mickey shaped cookie is really cute. And the powdered sugar and red raspberry filling make it feel especially festive for this time of year. It is quite soft, and not hard like you might expect from a shortbread type cookie. It has a nice buttery taste and while the filling is delicious on its own and complements the cookie very well, this is going to break apart on you pretty quickly. It can be a little messy. So even though it’s individually wrapped when you pick it up, you want to be sure that you’re grabbing a napkin or two!
