What a great series of pictures! I'm pleasantly surprised to see that they actually construct it on site. I always thought it was more prefab. We saw it when it finished and the detail was just amazing and the smell! I love your family picture! Just beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing and for joining in on the WW Blog Hop fun.
Good question! The first half were taken at noon on November 12th (sign says the "opening" was set for November 14th), and the completed and deconstruction half 6 years ago!!
How fun seeing it all put together. We will be here this weekend, I'll be sure to send a few before and after pictures as I borrow a few pieces to munch on.
I could never work at a job like that. If I was on the construction crew, there would be a whole bunch of corners bitten off every panel, and there would probably be a shortage of candy to decorate with as well.
What a great series of shots – I loved seeing the construction of the gingerbread house and the finished product! Beautiful family photo too!!
Thanks Lisa- I only wish I had gotten a shot of the house panels laid out on the floor like a puzzle!!
Love it! I can smell it from here!
Yes Amanda- it does loose something without the scent!!
I love this! Such cool pictures. 🙂
Thanks Christina. 😀

Talk about labor intensive! I was surprised to see the actual house go up in less than one day, but I shouldn't have been, should I??
Always amazing to see what goes into something that is so famous at Disney this time of year. I am hoping to visit it next week 🙂
Beth, I'm jealous! We left this year before the shingles went up, so I will be checking your photos for the finished product!! Have a magical time!
What a cool job to have!
Imagine "gluing" on all those wonderful smelling shingles?! Sign me up!
So neat – I've seen tons of pictures of the Gingerbread house, but never the work in progress!
Thanks Becky- we could have stayed there all day!!
Interesting! I'm curious over what time period you had to be observing, to capture these different stages…?

How fun! And I LOVE the group shot!!
Thanks Amy- it makes a terrific backdrop!

That will be terrific- enjoy!!
I love it, great pictures Donna. Certainly makes me love this time of year 😉
Almost as good as those "lights", eh Diane? :-))
How cool is that to see it from start to a magnificent finished product. I've always wanted to see these giant gingerbread houses. Great group shot!
Thanks Mary- I think I might schedule an entire day at the Grand Floridian just for this event!!

Then you wouldn't need a lunch pail!! Disney must do some serious screening; gluten-free workers only? 😀
Wow, that is amazing! The finished product was just stunning!!
Thanks Becca- fun stuff!!
