Yesterday I showed you some of the many Christmas trees at the Contemporary Resort. I teased you by saying that none that I showed were why guests came to the Contemporary during the holidays. From the title of this post you now know that there is a gingerbread tree at the Contemporary.
The gingerbread tree (and overall holiday display) is inspired by the Mary Blair mural in the Grand Canyon Concourse (it is actually just behind the tree). This gingerbread tree is 17 feet tall and the display took over 1200 hours to bake, build and decorate.
Although the gingerbread display is simpler compared to what they have at Beach or Boardwalk, it is still impressive.
Although the Contemporary does not have a gingerbread house for the nice cast members to “sell from”, they do still offer hand-made gingerbread houses for sale.
Finally, a few details if you are interested.
