Disney’s Beach & Yacht Club at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida is an amazing place to stay any time of the year, but it is extra special around Christmas.  

Beach Club Christmas Carousel

That’s when the special Gingerbread Carousel goes up in the lobby at the Beach Club. There’s so much attention to detail in this beautiful Carousel, and every year is unique. 

For example, one year featured Donald & Daisy Duck.  You could buy a special pin with Donald Duck & Daisy Duck in festive holiday attire, and two of the horses at the carousel matched Donald & Daisy. The centerpiece horse even matched the pin, too!  And you could even get your pin signed by the chef!  

To see one of the themes, check out our video & review of the Christmas decorations and Gingerbread Carousel in 2021.

Every year has a different theme.  This year has a Duck Tales theme!  As someone who grew up watching that show every afternoon after school, I was super excited when I showed up to Beach Club this year and found out the theme!  The specific theme is actually the DuckTales World Showcase Adventure over at EPCOT.

And not to be outdone, the Yacht Club has a train in the lobby that you’re going to want to see.

I love the miniature train display in the lobby at the Yacht Club at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida

I love everything about this display.  As a child, I used to love it when my mother would take my sister and me to a Christmas store because of the train display at the store.  I loved the train and the miniature town.

And that’s what you have at the Yacht Club.  Just in an incredibly Disney way.  I could just sit in the lobby and watch the train and be very content.

But that’s not all they have at the Yacht Club!  This year, for the very time, they have their very own gingerbread display!  And, in keeping with the theming of the hotel, it is in the shape of a lighthouse!

This year, the Yacht Club at the Walt Disney World Resort is starting a new tradition: a gingerbread display!

It was so impressive at first, we weren’t even sure it was gingerbread because it just looked like a display!  You are definitely going to want to see this for yourself.

Christmas Treats

And the special holiday festivities won’t just please your sense of sights.  Your sense of taste will also love the delicious holiday treats you can buy!  You can enjoy delicious sugar cookies, peppermint cookies, chocolate-covered Mickeys, gingerbread muffins (which are my favorite) and more. And that’s not all – there are even holiday cookies where you can paint your own and chocolate puzzles, so eating the treats won’t be the only fun part!  They have a hot cocoa bar at the Beach Club, too.
