In case you haven’t heard, we here at gingerbreadfun.com are also huge Disney fans and have been posting up some fun articles and pictures recently of all the Gingerbread fun that we have found at Disney. Here is a cute picture we came across with Disney character Goofy posing with Gingerbread men during a news conference on upcoming festivals in Hong Kong.

Santa’s Village were the first franchised theme parks in the world. There were two Santa’s Villages in California 1950s & 1960s – today they are both closed. One was near Los Angeles, at Skyforest, near Lake Arrowhead in the San Bernadino Mountains. The parks sat on fifteen forested acres, eleven colorful buildings housed Santa Claus and his toy workshops. It was a fairyland setting for his gnomes, elves, Gingerbread kids and little animal friends make up a children’s and grownups’ paradise the year round.” A REAL Gingerbread House, where a Good Witch bakes Gingerbread every day. Visit here for more information and spectacular photos on this vintage theme park.

Costco has just gotten in a large supply of Gingerbread biscotti. These biscotti have pecans in them and they are even iced with a vanilla flavored icing. These biscotti are so delicious! My husband put one bucket of these Gingerbread biscotti in our carriage for me and I could not wait till we got home to open and try one. WOW – these are super yummy and they smell so very good too! Each biscotti is individually wrapped. I have never heard of Gingerbread biscotti but I am so glad we were at Costco when we were. Hurry to Costco and get some for yourselves while they are in stock!
