Disney’s Beach Club Gingerbread Carousel is Officially Here
The Beach Club gingerbread carousel is here! This year, the theme is “A Christmas Carol.”
True to its name, the sweet and stunning display tells the story of Mickey’s Christmas Carol through a gingerbread carousel!
Each horse in the display represents a different scene from the fan-favorite holiday film.
This story begins with Ebeneezer Scrooge acting as an unrepentant miser.
As you can see, money is all Scrooge cared about.
The second horse represents Joseph Marley (played by Goofy) and depicts the scene where the specter of Scrooge’s former business partner warns him to change his ways.
Here is a closer look.
The third steed represents the Ghost of Christmas Past, who is played by Jiminy Cricket in the film.
If you look closely, you can see the party that Scrooge and the ghost visit.
The third horse represents the Ghost of Christmas Present (Willie the Giant), who visits Scrooge alongside a gluttonous feast.
As you can see, Scrooge was not thrilled with the visit.
Finally, we have the Ghost of Christmas Future (played by Pete), who transports Scrooge to his future lonely grave.
It is this moving moment that finally gets Scrooge to change his ways.
As you can see, the Yacht and Beach Club Bakery went to painstaking lengths to faithfully retell Mickey’s Christmas Carol.
To bring this gingerbread carousel to life, Disney bakery artisans used 432 pounds of honey, 1200 pounds of rye flour, 100 pounds of eggs, 200 pounds of icing, 200 gum paste flowers, and more! Here is the complete list of ingredients.
As you can see, 24 golden Mickey’s are hidden around the gingerbread creation in celebration of the 24th anniversary of the carousel!
There are gingerbread shingles…
…peppermint bark…
And gingerbread macarons!
There are also Hannukah cookies!
The bakery also has stollen, with a fun display that explains the treat’s history!
Finally, there are even sweat options for those with a gluten/wheat intolerance.
As with other Disney resort gingerbread displays, commemorative pins are also available!
Finally, you can even meet some of the bakery artisans behind the display!

Hello! Does anyone have experience as to how long Disney Springs keeps their trees up? I've read varying reports online that DS decos stay up a week or two after NYE. Is this true...I know that the "tree stroll" is posted to end on December 30th. Any idea how long after this date might we catch a glimpse of some Christmas decorations/trees in DS?

I’ll be there for one night tomorrow and then at GF for 3 nights! I can’t believe the tree is up at GF, we always used to miss it in mid-Nov!

Disney’s BoardWalk Gingerbread House Returns for 2024 Holiday Season
The gingerbread display is in the resort’s lobby. Smaller than other Walt Disney World gingerbread displays, it’s still an impressive recreation of the BoardWalk Deli not far from the hotel. It sits on a table surrounded by plants and ropes.
On the side facing the lobby front desks is a “Happy Holidays” greeting below a Mickey-shaped wreath. The wreath features peppermints, tiny gingerbread men, candy canes, and strings of candy.
A Christmas tree outside the deli is adorned with pastries and a Santa Mickey hat. Through the display’s windows, guests can see Mickey and Minnie figures baking in a kitchen. A tiny whiteboard lists “Mickey’s Festive Treats.”
The other windows feature the silhouettes of Disney characters illuminated from behind. Pluto and Figaro are in the windows above the kitchen. The roof is lined with candy garlands and white icing.
A functional clock is at the tallest point of the gingerbread building. Daisy and Donald and silhouetted in the second-story windows above the “BoardWalk Deli” sign.
Goofy is in the window between the doorways. Striped awnings feature white icing details resembling snow and icicles. There are tiny wreaths at the corners of the windows and doorways.
The window Goofy appears in features the name of the building’s proprietor: Hue G. Krazont. An advertisement states fresh baked goods are available morning, noon, and night.
Another Christmas tree at this corner of the building features candy decorations, including a star made of candy.
The far end of the display has another Mickey-shaped wreath. This one is adorned with small Mickey ornaments and images of Mickey & Friends.
Merchandise
A kiosk next to the gingerbread display will open this afternoon, selling merchandise and sweets. The resort’s holiday pin and gingerbread pin are also available at the resort’s gift shop.Gingerbread Pin – $22.99
The gingerbread pin features a cookie version of Donald wearing Santa-like apparel and holding a gift. Behind him is a gingerbread depiction of Disney’s BoardWalk Inn. The BoardWalk logo is in a circle of candy cane. The backing card resembles a white plate on a table, so the pin looks like cookies on the plate. It has a limited edition size of 2,500.
Resort Pin – $19.99
Resort holiday pins this year all resemble wrapped gifts that slide open to reveal a character. The BoardWalk pin features a Mickey icon on the silver ribbon of the blue gift. When opened, it reveals Mickey dressed in blue and white walking the BoardWalk. A paper chain is above him and a pair of dreidels is at his feet. It’s a limited edition of 3,000.
The gingerbread house cookie jar will also be available.
The treats menu will include:
- Holiday Mickey and Minnie Sugar Cookie
- Mickey Caramel Corn Cookie
- Gingerbread Loaf
- Gingerbread Shingle
ETA: Posted HERE.

Ahh the anticipation is killing me! Can't wait to see if decorations go up at Pop or WL when we're there in the next few days. Based on the earlier start with trees this year, I'm thinking maybe all resorts will be decorated by the middle of next week.
We did luck out last year because POFQ decorations went up overnight the night before we left so we woke up our last day to a beautiful tree and decorations!!
