2018 Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread display unveiled
The massive Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread display, that has been unveiled at Disneyland for Halloween Time, will give guests a monster movie vibe.
This is the 18th year a gingerbread display has been created during the special overlay of the Haunted Mansion for Halloween.
The gingerbread display has a giant 5-foot spider with glowing eyes and moving legs and mandibles.
“This multicolor spider is suspended above the Haunted Mansion’s Grand Hall table, attempting to pry the edible mansion from its foundation, revealing candy cane rebar and sparking lights. General chaos ensues as gingerbread zombies watch in astonishment and cocoon-wrapped gingerbread zombies wait to become spider snacks,” Tim Wollweber, associate art director for Disney Parks tells the Disney Parks Blog.
It took 12 pastry chefs to create the display using 90 pounds of gingerbread, 30 pounds of confectioner’s sugar, 10 pounds of white chocolate and 45 pounds of fondant.
