Gingerbread Spaceship Earth Display to Return to Epcot for Festival of the Holidays
Disney has announced that the incredible Gingerbread Spaceship Earth display will return to this year’s Epcot International Festival of the Holidays! You may remember that this impressive creation debuted at last year’s festival, and it was a hit. The Gingerbread Spaceship Earth display will be available at CommunicCore Hall during the Festival of the Holidays, which runs from November 28th through December 30th. Presented by CITIZEN, a Celebration Countdown will happen every 15 minutes. So make sure to see it while you’re there!
Disney shared the following stats about last year’s display:
The EPCOT Festival Team and Walt Disney Imagineering have teamed up with the talented EPCOT Pastry team to create this 8-foot-tall gingerbread display, which took over 160 hours. It will even light up and dance to music throughout the day. The sphere itself is made up of almost a thousand handcrafted gingerbread triangles to mirror the iconic attraction. There are 240 pounds of honey dough, 100 eggs, 100 ounces of lebkuchen spice, 55 pounds of dark chocolate, and 100 pounds of royal icing. For a final Disney touch, there are 11 hidden Mickeys to represent the 11 countries of the World Showcase.
