Today for #FlashbackFriday we are taking a look at the history of the Haunted Mansion Holiday Gingerbread House display at Disneyland Park. For 14 years the Haunted Mansion Holiday ballroom has been decorated with an amazing Nightmare Before Christmas gingerbread house display. For the 15th year celebration the Disney Parks Blog made a tribute video looking back at past years creations and the incredible amount of work that goes into creating them. The video also shows you a sneak peek at this year’s treat!
