My balcony stateroom onboard the Enchanted Princess! There was a ton of hanging space in this room. The bed was comfy! I liked the vanity area. That came in handy for getting ready. The balcony was so nice! We could sit out and watch as the ship pulled into ports!

The Making of the Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House

Seasons screamings! It’s never too early to start enjoying gingerbread, especially when it’s inspired by none other than "Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas." Available now at Disneyland Park for the Halloween and holiday season, the Haunted Mansion has gotten a festive makeover from Santa Jack, more commonly known as the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington.

As guests venture further into the mansion, they’ll notice the sweet smell of gingerbread, which means one thing – the return of the beloved gingerbread display!

This year’s creation is brand new and we’re happy to share a glimpse into how this HOWL-iday display was made, including some dazzling details on the story behind the house and its characters. Let’s look behind the curtain.

The Story Behind the Creation

Nestled in the ballroom of the mansion lies the gingerbread house and this year, Jack Skellington, or should we say Santa Jack, has recruited Dr. Finkelstein, Halloween Town’s resident mad scientist, to conjure up some ideas for this year’s creation. And boy, did he deliver!

As Dr. Finkelstein used his mad scientist expertise, he incorporated some of his experiments into the gingerbread house. Along with his trusted assistant Igor, he’s brought his own Gigantic Gingerbread Zombie, Lil’ Franky, to life! Well, almost. The doctor and his partner are testing out different tweaks to complete the transformation. And unfortunately for Lil’ Franky, that involves his head popping off and on – what a headache.

As guests venture into Haunted Mansion Holiday this season, they should be on the lookout for this haunted haunt and Dr. Finkelstein’s creations.

Frightfully Fun Facts

This gingerbread display was quite the task to bring to life. Not only for the Disneyland Resort culinary teams, but also the technology teams, Disneyland Live Entertainment, and the Disneyland Bakery who crafted this mesmerizing creation.

In fact, it took over 150 hours to build and program the animation and lighting. And that’s not even including the hours spent baking the tasty pieces that bring it all together. We’ve gathered some mind-blowing facts to show just how much goes into making (and baking) this 5-foot-tall, 6-foot-wide display a reality.

60 Pounds of Gingerbread
50 Pounds of Powdered Sugar
10 Pounds of Egg Whites
30 Pounds of Rolled Fondant
5 Pounds of Crystal Sugar
10 Pounds of Chocolate
More than 240 Hours Spent Creating
2 Hidden Mickeys
