Every year I visit the Grand Floridian's gingerbread house and buy a shingle and other treats. Since there isn't one there this year, I picked up some treats at the kiosk at Beach Club. The gingerbread carousel was incredible as usual, but the treats were just terrible.
I got a shingle, a gingerbread Mickey with the chocolate ears, and a gingerbread cookie. Usually they're put into those waxed paper "sleeves," but these were packaged in sealed plastic bags. All three were stale, hard, and not very tasty. Usually the gingerbread has that chewy "give" to it, that your teeth kind of sink into, but these were just a crunchy staleness. We only ate one bite of all three of them and threw them in the trash. I considered saving them to eat with coffee in the morning, to soften them up a little, but they don't even taste good enough to waste the calories on; there are too many better things to eat.
Has anyone else had this experience or was I just unlucky? I usually LOVE Disney's gingerbread but I'm never buying it again if it comes prepackaged.
