Beautiful, our favorite time of the year to be there! First Christmas visit was in 2011 and we are just as excited to go now as were then.

We confirmed with Cast Members at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge that there will be no display, only the treats table, which will open at 2 p.m. daily. There will be a Wilderness Lodge gingerbread pin and ornament.

The resort is also included on the generic gingerbread merchandise representing all the display locations.

The Disney Parks Blog post has also been updated to no longer list Wilderness Lodge as having a display. Instead, it states, “Additionally, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge will have a market table in the lobby with holiday treats available for purchase.”

I take this report from WDWnt with a very large "wait for another confirmation" before repeating this 'Breaking" News.

Disney edited their blog post to remove Wilderness Lodge from their locations with gingerbread displays, so unfortunately I think it's accurate.

As quoted above…

ETA: Someone had posted on a FB group a few days ago. Said he works for the Lodge and there will be no gingerbread house. Everyone pushed back and said Disney posted it. He said I assure you there’s not going to be one.

Sounds like the real story since we now have some good reports that confirm the initial claim. It is still a "WoW" moment with a change this late in the schedule.

This just keeps getting weirder by the hour. I would call that pic a Gingerbread display. It was never life size like over at the GF.

That actually looks like a Gingerbread house to me. Maybe the Bakery Team watched too many "Tiny House Hunters" episodes on HGTV. I can't wait for the update from WDWnt on the modified "Breaking News".

It’s definitely something! lol I think everybody was expecting the 2019 version and that’s not what we are getting. Especially for Disney to change the wording on their site, they obviously intended for a larger scale house. So strange.

This may be a great story to get more details on for the WL Shrinking Gingerbread house display. It does seem like a very last minute change but we don't know at this point. I await updates on this ongoing saga.

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Debuts Small Chocolate Cabin Instead of Life-Size House​

Disney’s Wilderness Lodge has opened their holiday market table with a small chocolate and gingerbread cabin instead of a life-size display.



Though Disney Parks Blog initially announced Disney’s Wilderness Lodge would have a gingerbread display, they later changed their post to state, “Additionally, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge will have a market table in the lobby with holiday treats available for purchase.” With the table’s opening on Friday, November 21, the resort did display a holiday creation — a small cabin made of chocolate and gingerbread instead of the large display we expected.



The confection is inspired by Wilderness Lodge with a green roof and a pair of tall chimneys. Disney, U.S.A., and Florida flags are on top of the roof.



Santa Mickey and Mrs. Claus Minnie are in a sleigh figurine perched on the rooftop.


A tiny Christmas tree glows from within, just like the towering tree in the real lobby. There are other small trees glowing in the windows and wreaths on the outer walls. Faux icicles line the edge of the roof.


A bear figure is at one corner. There are Christmas trees to the sides. Mushrooms grow on a log alongside a white rabbit.



At the opposite corner is the lodge’s iconic totem featuring Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Humphrey. Another log features a pair of chocolate squirrels.


Disney’s Wilderness Lodge did have a life-size gingerbread log cabin featuring Humphrey the Bear back in 2019.
