Suffice it to say, the most magical place on earth somehow becomes even more magical during the holiday season, especially when you stay at any one of the fabulous resorts on-site. One resort in particular that really elevates their lobby during the Christmas season is Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. Not only is the resort filled with decorations and even a meandering Santa Claus, but there also is a life-size gingerbread house! That’s right, this giant gingerbread house in Florida is 14-feet tall and it’s filled with sweets you can buy!

Inside Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, you’ll find a magical winter wonderland all decked out for the holidays.
