Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort gingerbread house will not return for the 2026 holiday season, or any future years as Disney is permanently retiring it.

Instead of bringing the fan-favorite gingerbread house back to the resort this year, Disney’s culinary teams will instead create new miniature holiday displays for the resort.

In addition, Disney also confirmed with WDWNT that the display is permanently retired. It will not return in future years.

More details about other resort gingerbread displays will be shared later. We noted gingerbread details were absent from other Walt Disney World holiday announcements.

Last year, there was no gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort due to the lobby remodel. Now the The Perch Lobby Bar has opened and takes up a lot of space.

But guests could still enjoy the annual gingerbread carousel at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, gingerbread Cinderella Castle “Dream Lights” at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the BoardWalk Inn gingerbread house, new and returning gingerbread animals at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, and a small chocolate cabin at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.
