Families assemble pre-baked gingerbread panels on a wooden base and then decorate their house with dozens of candies and edible embellishments at a 'Santa's Workshop' setup, inspired by the life-sized gingerbread house displayed in the lobby. Sessions are two hours long, three times a day, and must be reserved in advance through the resort's booking site. A good activity for school-age children who like crafts and sweets; younger children will need a grown-up's help with assembly. Pair it with an evening skate on the resort's seasonal ice rink. ## Similar picks in Orlando - [Tween Extreme Gingerbread Challenge (Ages 8-12) - Central](https://grassyknees.com/orlando/activities/tween-extreme-gingerbread-challenge-ages-8-12-central--listing-830e7791207dafbfddc9795b) — Tue, Dec 1 · 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM · Jean Rhein Central Branch Library, Casselberry · Ages 8–12 · Free · checked Oct 14.
