New Offerings to Debut at Epcot’s International Festival of the Holidays in 2024
You’ll be privy to exclusive, unique holiday offerings if you visit Epcot during the International Festival of the Holidays. We’ve already discussed the majority of the returning items. However, Disney has announced that several new offerings will debut at this year’s festival. You’ll likely want to add some of them to your list!
Spaceship Earth Gingerbread Display
Per Disney, a new holiday gingerbread creation will be on display inside CommuniCore Hall at Epcot. Here are the details from Disney:
The creative minds of the EPCOT Festival Team and Walt Disney Imagineering paired up with the delicious skills of the EPCOT Pastry team to create something truly grand and miraculous – an 8-foot-tall gingerbread display inspired by Spaceship Earth. The geodesic sphere made up of hundreds of handcrafted gingerbread triangles will be on display inside CommuniCore Hall for all guests to see and enjoy throughout the festival. And, just like its park icon counterpart, the gingerbread version will also light up and dance to music periodically throughout the day. You can discover the next dancing lights performance of this tasty creation with a countdown, courtesy of the Celebration Countdown presented by CITIZEN!
Our article below details more information about the creation of the structure.
