2016 Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House First Look:


With Halloween around the corner, today we got our first look at the 2016 Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House that will appear at Disneyland. Gingerbread houses have been appearing in the ballroom scene of Haunted Mansion Holiday for the last 15 years. 

This year's will consist of 200 lbs. of gingerbread, 200 lbs. of powdered sugar, 4 gallons of egg whites, 1 gallon of lemon juice, 50 lbs. of fondant, and 1/3 pound of glitter. This year's theme will be inspired by Sally, one of our favorite residents of Halloween Town, from "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas."


The Disney Parks Blog had this to say on the reveal:
“The whole structure has been cobbled and stitched together from other different gingerbread houses and treats,” says Tim Wollweber, Associate Art Director for Disney Parks, who designed this year’s house. “But it appears that sometime during the house’s construction, a gingerbread ghoul was entombed! Apparently he’s eager to sew himself up inside – much like another mansion graveyard ghoul you’ve probably seen.”
Are you excited to see this year's Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House?
