The Tower did not officially open to all guests, until the day before it was decorated for Christmas, on Dec. 17.

Ah of course!

Just wondering, is there a reason they couldn't have put the Gingerbread House that's usually at GrandFlo somewhere else on property for this year?

I can't imagine it would have been that much extra work?

I recall it’s done mostly by GF’s pastry team so they’d have to loan out to another property and either transport everything or take space in another hotel’s kitchen for all the prep. Logistics aside where would you put it? It must be a deluxe hotel, others do not receive that level of decor. BC/YC/BWI don’t have the lobby space for the house + guests. It would clash with the Poly theme horridly. CR has a successful modern vibe gingerbread display. WL has a widely successful holiday display now including a log cabin gingerbread house. AKL has gingerbread animals. I can’t speak to DVC properties but the spot would need to be in a main traffic type hotel as the cost demands large attendance buying holiday snacks to make up for it so that rather kills SSR and OKW.
