Disney's Monorail Crawl - Holiday GINGERBREAD Edition! Grand Floridian, Contemporary, Polynesian
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Join me as we visit Walt Disney World's Monorail Resorts to see their amazing gingerbread displays - like the Grand Floridian lifesize gingerbread house, and The Contemporary Resort's brand new 50th anniversary themed gingerbread house, with Cinderella Castle, It's a Small World and Mary Blair style, including hidden 5-legged goats, and Disney's Polynesian Resort's Christmas tree and holiday island decor! Along the way, we see the construction going on at the Polynesian resort and have to take an unexpectedly long walk to detour around it, see lots of beautiful sights and also holiday crowd levels at all 3 monorail resorts and on the monorail itself, and of course have a GINGERBREAD SHOWDOWN, where I try and compare the different gingerbreads to see which is my favorite! I also have a little personal chat at the end of this video and talk about the exciting thing we'll be doing this week that I'm so excited to share with you soon!!!
The decorations always look incredible. So for the bees part, it's wood that's given to them. When the gingerbread is removed, there are wooden structures beneath. The gingerbread is not exactly fresh, so it’s composted. This leaves _bee-hind_ lots of sugar-covered wood. The CMs then break down the wooden structures and then _buzz_ to the WDW tree farm where it is collected and fed to the bees. With the bee populations declining around the world, Disney has made it a mission to provide pollinators with even more habitat and resources through pollinator-friendly gardens located across property.
11:11 - "With new leadership..." Subtle, Jackie. lol We are glad that changes are coming as well.
😉 just keepin it classy hehe! But also yes, hopefully for positive changes!!
My favorite is always the polynesian resort. It's just such a great theme. I love it
Piano Player, so elegant 👏
Adds such a wonderful touch!
Real shame they opted not to bring back Spirit of Aloha. It was basically Enchanted Tiki Room on steroids, and it was perfect. Also a shame the orchestra hasn't returned to the GF lobby. Music is a powerful thing, and the orchestra is just as important to the GF lobby's atmosphere as the pianist. I know you said you wished you took the monorail instead over to GF from Poly but it's nice to go for a walk for a change, especially if it's nice out! Take advantage of the weather before it gets cold!
Disney is committed to conservation and caring for the environment, so it makes sense they'd care about the bees and just feed the display pieces to them when they're done with it.
I’m so sad I never got to do spirit of Aloha!! And I love the bees thing and you’re right, it was still interesting to see the construction walk.
Hey Jackie happy Friday and a weekend is coming to the end of this month going to be 2023 this year and happy early New year's day this is Jenna Dabao had some friends time this week I got a blast of fun riding a great and nice day
That Grand Floridian lobby is spectacular ❤
Wow, love the Mary Blair influence on the Contemporary gingerbread castle. 😍
Love the walk, even with the construction.
They really do a wonderful job in decorating the Resorts for the holidays. It all looks amazing.
Thanks Nick! Hope you had a good thanksgiving!
@@SuperEnthused It was great, hope your Thanksgiving was good as well.
I did have a very nice time hanging out with U😀 thanks so much sharing for the resort festivities and treats - nice way to celebrate the Holidays - well done !
I love the Resorts during the Holidays. 🥰 So much magic! Thank you Jackie!
The resorts all looking very festive for the holidays. You can't beat ginger bread at Christmas.

LOVE the video Jackie! So fun! The Gingerbread house at Grand Floridian is always BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING! Look forward to your next video's ! Love to you & Sam! ❤️ Have a safe trip and MERRY CHRISTMAS 🤶 🎄 🎅🧑🎄
Some of the best times we’ve seen were the walking tours of Tennessee…it’s always a pleasure to see your comments on everything on your tours..
I really loved this video Jackie and I am with you as I love dark chocolate and the GF would have to be my fav as well. Thank you so much for this tour!!!
Gorgeous shopping bag
Happy gingerbread blog. Thanks everything is so beautiful.
Great way to spend the day, thanks for sharing! Disney definitely knows how to decorate in a grand way.
Oh Wow, all the monorail resorts look so beautiful Jackie, thank you 🥰🙌🎅🎄Everything is so magical. The Grand Floridian lobby & Gingerbread House is just breathtaking! The Contemporary Mary Blair style one is so cool, love them all. And I really love your taste testing mission 😛 x
Praying for a safe and enjoyable trip both to and fro.
I love the resorts at Christmas! Fun fact, I saw my brother in law in the gingerbread house slide show!
I remember the piano player they had playing at the Brown Derby while you ate your delicious meal back when it was still MGM Studios. It added so much elegance and made the experience even more special. You’re so right, Jackie, live music just adds that special feeling making it all the more memorable.
The absolute BEST gingerbread cookie is sold in Starbucks at Hollywood Studios. It taste like the Disneyland Jolly Holiday Mickey Gingerbread Man soooo good! You have to try it 😅😍
Thank you for comparing the gingerbread. Very helpful.
CHOCOLATE FOR THE WIN!!! 🙂 Women and Chocolate
Love the video - especially the little festive collage at the end!
That Polynesian resort looks amazing. I went past it on the monorail back in 2016.
Hope that you had a good Thanksgiving and that it was a blessed day. I always really love seeing the tree and the beautiful gingerbread houses and just am in awe of the hard work that goes into them. I always enjoy a great tasting gingerbread cookie..
Great to see the new decorations at Disney World have a good trip.
Yes, I too am a gingerbread fan! Thanks for showing us the houses too!
Thank you!! My favorite kind of video! I feel like I experienced the monorail resorts for the holidays. ❤❤
LOVE the creep Mickey shirt
I missed it when you said you were getting meatballs for Sam. I LOVE THEM. One of my favorite meals i ever had there. Hungry for them now.
They’re so good!!
Honestly Jackie I'm not a big fan of gingerbread but watching you enjoy it may change my perspective wow the disney resorts are beautiful this time of year! Keep up the great content
Glad to see your channel grow. I really enjoy this content. 👍
As always great job all the lobbies were beautiful 😍 thanks for sharing
This made our day!!! Thanks for showing all the details and when the store is open to purchase goodies!!!
I am watching this now My friend and i am loving it has always Jackie keep up the great work my friend
Thanks for another good video your very informing, see you , happy holidays,
Always loved the monorail resort especially at Christmas! I hope to see them again someday until then, thank you for sharing!
Hey Jackie, loved your video. We plan on doing the monorail loop and gingerbread tour in December this year . Can't Wait it looks so fabulous!
Thanks for the long walk Jackie. The gingerbread house was spectacular! It's so nice that they give the house to the bees.
Very good video. It put me in the Christmas spirit. Thanks....
Thank you for showing the ingredients your videos before around this helped me when I visited in April
I like that the GF has fewer ingredients, but prefer gingerbread without chocolate. Will see!
You did have a lot of fun there Disney resort holiday season. Beautiful Christmas decorations. Excellent Jackie 👍 🎄
Disney has some of the best Christmas decorations in the world! Jackie, you and Sam should go to Pigeon Forge Tennessee in November or December the Christmas decorations there are beautiful also I just spent the weekend in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg everything was decorated for Christmas beautifully!
We plan to, Terry! A quick trip before the big UK trip! Hopefully we can make it happen.
@@SuperEnthused I know you will love Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg at Christmas time! I'm driving back from Pigeon Forge right now listening to your videos it's like you keep me company on my long drive home love you Jackie
Thnkx for this video. My wife and I finally got to see the GF DVC in October. Now we must go for Christmas because of the decorations on the walkway. Didn't know they were there. Love this video.
Yeahhhh for the new leadership…and please, can we hear you sing a Christmas song with a pianist, that would be awesome.
We love doing the monorail crawl anytime of year but during the holidays especially. It was a bit of a hike to do the walk but so worth it. Disney Resorts are always decorated next level but each have their own spin. Thank you for showing us how beautiful they are this year. Disney beauty always puts me in the holiday spirit.
Definitely going to stick to the monorail 🚝 when my 7 year old and I do this next month
Really enjoyed this ...I usually don't comment.... But this was my bedtime video ...and so much fun..I truly love how happy you are and the details ...I feel like I'm right there too!! Tell Sam hi too
It definitely grand for me
Hi, thanks for sharing this beautiful time of year from the Resorts. The decorations are Gorgeous.👏 Bravo to all the decorators, makers, bakers, and all involved. Happy Holidays everyone. Be Safe Take Care ❤️☃️🎄
I don't remember the Contemporary having a gingerbread house. Cool!
I’m getting jelly watching all the Christmas vids 🤣
I definitely am going to look at the different resorts next week. I want to but gingerbread from all 3 resorts.
Awesome video Jackie!
If I missed it, I'm sorry. At 6:25, there's a little gold "hidden" Mickey. There's 13 (baker's doz) Mickeys around the building.
Thanks!
I have a question about seeing the resorts without actually staying there. Is there a way to see them without having a dining reservation? I’m trying to figure out the best place to park.
Totally - I usually explain it in every one of these vids but I didn’t want to be repetitive bc I explained it in the fort wilderness vid and another lol! You can take a bus from Disney Springs, or for these specifically, what I usually do is park at TTC and hop right on the resort monorail!
@@SuperEnthused oh my gosh! I am sorry! Thank you for letting me know and I appreciate you explaining it again for me.
Thank you for always showing the resorts some love ! Resorts are definitely the best way to take breaks in between park days (and actual park days). Can’t wait to see all the stuff you have planned ❤
Thanks for the comparison. That long list of chemicals for the sparkly gingerbread is kinda scary.
Had the chance to see the gingerbread houses this year, they are so amazing! Thanks for sharing. 🤩
More Poly please! 😉
We did this exact same thing on Saturday. I recommend the whoopie pie at the Grand Floridian. I personally liked it better than the gingerbread shingle. Give it a try next time! Thanks for sharing.
Always love your videos, Jackie. We were just at Disney for the Halloween party in late October. Stayed at Wilderness Lodge. Have tentative reservations there again for late October (Halloween party) as well as the second week of December (Christmas party). Maybe we'll see you around. We've yet to see any of the vloggers at any of the four parks or hotels. By the way, on the 12 Days of Christmas song it's "5 golden rings" vs. "5 gold rings".
Hi Jackie. Thank you for showing the Christmas Decorations of the parks and resorts. Chocolate should be a Major Food Group. Hope you and Sam had a Great Time with the Family for Thanksgiving. Have Fun on the Remaining Road Trips this year, stay Healthy, and on to the next Adventure.
Great video. We were there yesterday evening but took monorail everywhere. We dined at chef Mickey’s
Oh gosh..when you said you were going to walk over to the Grand, I was saying oooh nooo turn back lol. My husband and I did it a couple weeks ago not knowing how it was bc of the construction. At night it’s a lil dangerous. Hoping they make it more pedestrian friendly soon.
Take care 🤗
Hahahaa yes I didn’t realize what I was getting into and that the entire walkway was closed!! I wouldn’t want to do that at night either, it’s not easy to cross that street, there are SO many cars and they don’t stop!!
For the first Christmas in several years I didn’t get to go to DW this year. Miss it so much. Thanks for the videos
I am Super Suprer ethused abot your video! I have been watching alog time and from Oklahoma! Your such a great video hosst! Thank youu for making my heat flutter my taste buds go wild watching your food blogs!
Loved the Gingerbread Showdown, so much fun!
Here’s a question, do any places in the resorts have Peppermint Stick Ice Cream? I always love it for the holidays, just wondering if it’s available anywhere in the resorts? Also, Jackie, have you tried any? Look for it in your local stores, usually the local brands of ice cream will come out with it during the Holidays. 🍧
Another great video, best of luck on a Peppermint Stick Ice Cream Hunt!
I enjoyed your video and I'll Be Looking Forward To Your Next Video and may you both have safe travels on your journey.
Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! Love seeing the decorations at the resorts every year! 😊
I love every single video you do! Looking forward to seeing both yours and Sam’s adventures going forward, especially here in the UK. Scotland is beautiful, but I am from Wales, and it’s very beautiful here also 🏴xx
Great video Jackie!!, the resorts look so pretty with all the Christmas decorations and I love the gingerbread house at the grand Floridian! It’s so beautifully made. That’s so awesome, they feed it to the bees after Christmas!! The gingerbread cookies look so yummy that you bought! ❤️😊😊❤️
Beautiful blog
great video! i told my older sister about your channel bc i saw she had the same purple shoes as you did have, and showed her a video , she seemed to enjoy it,
Aw I love that!!
@@SuperEnthused aye lass lol
@@SuperEnthused i say older shes really only 3 years, but i'm also 42 lol
Happy Holidays, Jackie...... The unexpected 'walk' was funnn & a hoot!
Appreciate all that you do!
Love your vlogs ❤
I Love doing the Christmas Disney Hotel tour for their Amazing Decorations, My Favorite is the Grand Floridian of course, Thank You so Much Jackie for doing the Tour this year and so happy they did the Beautiful Gingerbread Houses again!!!❤
Wow that place is Stunning 🎅🤶✌️ SuperE
Jackie, I don't generally like ginger, but I do enjoy some ginger breads. I'm not sure what makes the difference for me. I have always enjoyed searching out these amazing creations that Disney resorts put together. It's one of many Holiday traditions for my family. Thank you for sharing this with us. Beautiful job!
Happy holidays!!!!
Jackie, you NEVER miss! Great video, and super informational!!🔥
Love the decorations! Enjoyed the video!
While you are in the UK, can you go to a historic British hotel or very old house to stay a few days? That would be so much fun to see.
When I lived in Florida I always enjoyed just taking the monorail to all the resorts and walking around! They are so beautiful! Thank you for this tour!
I haven't tried any gingerbread, I've never been for the Holidays, cant afford it😭
Looking forward to your UK visit
Love going to the Resorts for the holidays. QUESTION: Do you have to pay to park at the Beach Club to see the carousel? In the past we have taken the bus from Disney Springs to each of the Resorts, but last year that was such a mess. But, I really want to see it this year. Any suggestions?
Trivia fact about the 12 days of Christmas. It was meant as a memory game and if you missed one, you had to complete a task of some kind.
Great video.
That is a really cool fact about how they give the deconstructed Gingerbread House to the Bees at the Walt Disney World Tree Farm.
Thanks for sharing Jackie.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
That’s my favorite little Disney gingerbread fact!!
I really love the Disney resort hotels decorated for the holidays.
Nice vlog again Jackie great footage 👍
This video makes me SO happy!❤ I love the resorts on the Monorail at Christmas! I’m looking forward to living vicariously through you and Sam in Scotland!❤️
Happy Holidays to my favorite couple on RUclips, Jackie & Sam! ❤️ Love your channel!
Beautiful
I’m going to the Grand Floridian this week. I can’t wait to see it. I love the Christmas shirt you were wearing. I wanted to get one last year but I missed out. Thanks for your wonderful tours.
Love this video
Thanks for sharing another super duper ultra holiday presentation. The walk was primo!
