Disney chefs have a season to remember on the 2002 menu, with elaborate confectionary creations and larger-than-life, edible displays planned for locations across Walt Disney World property:
• A life-size spinning carousel will glide in the lobby of Disney’s Beach Club Resort. Featuring ponies made of sugar, giant candy cane poles, hand-crafted poinsettias and portraits of famous Disney characters on a lighted roof of gingerbread, the carousel will greet guests next to the resort’s giant holiday tree. As Walt Disney World Resort continues the yearlong 100 Years of Magic celebration through the holidays, it’s fitting that the carousel will be 100 percent edible. In fact, Disney pastry chefs will work with more than 100 pints of eggs, 100 pounds of icing, 100 pounds of flour and 100 pounds of sugar to create the colossal confection.
• At Epcot, The American Adventure pavilion in the park’s World Showcase will be home to Santa’s Bakeshop, a life-size house made entirely of gingerbread, cookies and icing.
• A few miles away from Epcot, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa will again feature its 16-foot-high house made from more than 16,000 pieces of gingerbread.
