disney day 3.5: my kind of house

one of the "must-sees" of the christmas season at disney is this gingerbread house in the lobby of the grand floridian. this hotel is magnificent to see any time of the year, but to walk off the monorail and see a HUGE christmas tree will really get you in the mood for christmas. (i know, i'm writing about the christmas mood in april... i guess i should have waited a few more months and done a whole "christmas in july" thing...) other disney resorts get all decked out for christmas too, but we'll have to check those out next time. the gingerbread house is not just for show... it is a sweet shop as well! right down my alley! you could buy a gingerbread shingle for $6... add those shingles up, and that is one expensive house!! brian was so glad that i don't care for the taste of gingerbread. that saved him some money that day! :)

the beautiful lobby seen as you enter from the monorail stop
look at the size of this gingerbread house!
the sweet shoppe on the other side
