Originally Posted By FerretAfros I rode this afternoon, and thought it was a pretty neat house this year. It's definitely more in line with the stuff in the film that they usually are. It sort of took a moment or two to figure out what exactly was going on, but I like it. I'm pretty sure the scent is piped in. While it's plenty delicious, it smells more like sugar cookies than gingerbread. There are also huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the ballroom for the Pepper's Ghost effects, which would block any direct air circulation from the gingerbread house to the guests.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance I hear that Tasha, mine never stick together. They always slide all crooked and I have to use 3 pounds of icing to get the thing to stand at all. When I'm done, I just feel like throwing it away it looks so bad, lol.

They have halloween gingerbread houses now! im going to try and not screw it up.
