Have you ever wondered what happens to all the holiday decorations around Disney World once the season ends? Where do the giant Christmas trees go? And all the garland?
If a Christmas tree falls in Walt Disney World…
Well today we’re bringing you a behind-the-scenes look at how one ICONIC Disney holiday decoration is RECYCLED once the holiday happenings have ended!
Disney World does A LOT of things well, and gingerbread houses are no exception to that! The famous Gingerbread House at the Grand Floridian draws in lots of visitors every year. For many people, their holiday season hasn’t started until they see this humongous & delicious-looking home.

It’s BEES! According to the staff, they noticed that the bees were sweet on this treat while they were bringing down the gingerbread house about ten years ago!

The gingerbread is broken down and taken to the Disney tree farm where the bees are free to munch on the sugary building material until it’s gone! That’s it. The bees are officially winning Disney World.
Check out this video that Disney shared on their Disney Parks TikTok:
