Check Out Disneyland's Nightmare Before Christmas Gingerbread House!

This is Halloween and everybody is making a scene over Disneyland's Nightmare Before Christmas Gingerbread House!

For the past 17 years, Disneyland has displayed an over-the-top gingerbread house at the Haunted Mansion.

This year, there is now a display of a 7-foot-tall gingerbread Oogie Boogie which is the villain from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Oogie Boogie is placed over the top of the 6-foot-tall  house surrounded by 70 gingerbread bugs scurrying through the house.

Curious as to what went into this gingerbread house?

  • 200 pounds of gingerbread
  • 200 pounds of powdered sugar 
  • 4 gallons of egg whites
  • 1 gallon lemon juice
  • 30 pounds of white chocolate

  • 8 ounces (each) food coloring
  • 16 ounces of green food coloring
  • 50 pounds of fondant
  • 1/3 pound of glitter
  • 200 + hours of work

To top it all off, the whole thing moves! The gingerbread house will be on display at the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland until January 2018!
