General Conversation will be the focus of Thursdays. It can be commentary on anything related to Disney.
Let's get started!
I was having a hard time coming up with something to write about and we decided to head over to some resorts to walk around for bit. We stumbled across the gingerbread house going up in the Grand Floridian and I decided that would be a great "thought" for today. Christmas is just around the corner, ok really it's Thanksgiving that is just around the corner, but Disney is getting all dressed up for Christmas. The gingerbread creations they have in some of the resorts are just amazing! We stood and watched them putting together the victorian display that they have put up the last 13 years. It will take them 3 days to complete and the store will be open on November 14. You will be able to purchase gingerbread men (of course), small gingerbread houses and other gingerbread items.
There were a lot of cast members helping and even the Grand Floridian executive chef was lending a hand. We spoke to a really nice cast member from GA. She answered our many questions like...what kind of frosting do you use? - Royal icing (powdered sugar, egg whites and creme of tartar), is the whole thing made of gingerbread? - No there is a wooden structure to hold it up, the gingerbread would be too heavy, Does the icing taste good? - It wasn't her favorite but it wasn't too bad once it dried. After our many questions she gave us a sample of part of the gingerbread, it was actually pretty good!
That's it for today - have a Magical night!
That is really neat information about the gingerbreads! I want to make some of that frosting and yet it :) yum!
