John sez, "Every year at the holidays, Disney World's Grand Floridian Resort builds a 16-foot real gingerbread house in the lobby. This year, we set up a time-lapse camera to watch the three days of work." Link (Thanks, John!)

One of the neatest things about that gingerbread house is that it actually also serves as a workshop where people make a replica you can ship home.

Cool. We saw it in November. If they hadn't cut the nights out of the video, we might have been in a frame or two. I shot a couple quick pics (kids were exhausted) but didn't get one of the sign.

My wife might appear in that video. She works at the Grand Floridian.

With as a "Ingredients… …Disney World Special Ingredient" segue into the time lapse, all I could think was that 'special' ingredient was methamphetamine.

So what do they do with all the gingerbread when it's done? Doesn't it create a bit of an insect problem?

Is it fully edible? If not, it is fail.
