Christmas Comes To The Grand Floridian (Photo Tour)

Herb Leibacher·December 13, 2012

Disney puts up some amazing Christmas decorations in the theme parks, especially on Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom and at the Osborne Christmas Lights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. But the Disney resort hotels get some decorations too. And perhaps one of the most best decorated locations is Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa.

Christmas Tree

Of course the hotel lobby gets a Christmas tree. And the tree fits the grand scale and scope of the lobby itself, in addition to the grand Victorian style. The tree is huge and is decorated with swans, angels, and bird cages. It truly fits the look and feel of the hotel.

Ginger Bread House

A special treat is the life sized gingerbread house, which actually contains a little store where you can purchase – what else – gingerbread treats. The house is both a culinary and engineering feat – amazing to see how a few thousand pounds of sugar and flour can make an edible masterpiece. I wonder if I could get a few bites of it after Christmas is over?

The Christmas tree in the lobby is huge and fits the theme of the hotel itself.

The swan ornaments add a Victorian touch.

This Angel ornament also fits the theme of the hotel.

The Gingerbread House is a feat of engineering and a work of art.
