PHOTOS: We Did a DOUBLE TAKE at Disney World’s New Gingerbread Creation

Disney makes some amazing holiday treats!

Holiday treats are back again!

Snacks are one of our favorite things about the holidays at the Disney parks! We’ve already tried tons of treats at Disney World this holiday season, but we just found a holiday treat that might be a bit too much for even us to finish!

Okay, so you can’t actually eat this one, but it’s still one of the coolest holiday desserts you can find in Walt Disney World! When you go to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, you will now be greeted by a Gingerbread Giraffe!

That’s right! This sweet little guy isn’t a real baby giraffe that somehow wandered into the lobby, he’s made of gingerbread! We definitely did a double take when we walked in!

It looks so real!!

Disney’s Grand Floridian famously hosts a massive gingerbread house in its lobby each year, and it’s only fitting that the Disney World hotel that features real-life animals would make its own themed gingerbread!

Next to the sculpture, you’ll also find fun facts about giraffes, as well as credit for the “ginger-affe”, made by Disney Pastry Chef Michael Craig.
