The basic structure of the “house” is in place atop a platform in the Grand Californian’s lobby. As in previous years, the display is inspired by the exterior and lobby of the hotel. Details are not yet complete, however.

White icing lines the rooftops and walls. There are circular peppermints above the windows, but the windows themselves are currently bare. The front of the display is closer to completion, with crisscrossing lines of icing between green striped columns.

In the center is a fireplace, with a small screen showing a flickering fire. Three stockings hang above the miniature fireplace. There are stained glass windows to the sides.

Fewer details are complete on the back of the house, although its glowing windows are in place.

The house is set to be complete on November 22 and will feature Chip ‘n’ Dale in their pajamas from Mickey’s Holiday Pajama Party at Storytellers Cafe.
