Stitch gets his own Gingerbread House at Walt Disney World Resort
There’s no place like Walt Disney World Resort for sugar fans during the winter holidays, with six spots for ogling amazing gingerbread creations: Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Disney’s BoardWalk Resort and the Liberty Inn at American Adventure at Epcot.
Joining this year’s line-up is a fantabulous new creation in the lobby of Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. The gingerbread and chocolate gazebo is back but now you can also see Stitch’s Bakery Store Front, a miniature replica of the BoardWalk Bakery that Stitch has taken over (Lilo’s there too) – 14 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Disney cast members will be inside the creation decorating gingerbread houses.
To satisfy your sweet tooth, you can purchase mini gingerbread houses, stolen bread and gingerbread “shingles” (cookies).
Disney Pin collectors can head to Dundy’s Sundries on the BoardWalk for the limited edition pin that features Stitch and the gingerbread display.
What’s your favorite gingerbread creation?

Capturing Disney in Pictures – New Series from Mouze Kateerz
Not only is it “The Happiest Place on Earth,” it’s also arguably one of the most photographed places in the history of the world. Some people save for years to vacation in sunny Orlando. Those that haven’t been speak in terms of when they’ll go, holding out hope that one day they’ll stand at the doors of the Magic Kingdom. Giddy vacationers who do make it to “The Mouse House” can’t wait to share their memories with friends and family. When you leave, you long to return. When you return, you long to stay, if for just a wee bit longer.
How do you hold on to The Magic? How do you re-live that stir in your heart from miles and miles away? How do you re-feel that spark of vacation electricity when months or years have passed?
Photographs.
Eudora Welty said, “A good snapshot stops the moment from running away.” Each week on Chip & Co., I’m going to bring you photographs from all over The Happiest Place on Earth. My quest is to stop the moment and capture The Magic. There’s a camera slung over my shoulder held up by a Mickey Mouse camera strap. Come along with me on a pictorial journey through Walt Disney World, from the most popular attractions and gift shops, sampling the most delicious snacks, stopping occasionally by the quietest, most out-of-the-way Disney locations off the beaten Main Street path.
There I am with a camera. Come take a photographical ride with me, relive the memories, remember The Magic…
