Christmas Resort Countdown 2015: Swan and Dolphin

In the Dolphin, neon green garlands and foam snowflakes add a distinctly different approach to the décor than the traditional options in other resorts, guiding you into the lobby.
The lobby tree is truly breathtaking. The enormous tree reaches to the vaulted ceiling, covered in thousands of white poinsettias and accented with blue ornaments. Around the tree is a large train, with the first car being called “The Dolphin”. This year, characters from Frozen have hopped on for the ride, with Elsa waving on the last car.
Over in the Swan, a huge Christmas display of Santa’s workshop made out of chocolate has been created by Executive Pastry Chef Laurent Branlard. A six-foot tall nutcracker looms down over an ornate steam engine. The tree is made out of chocolate and fondant balls and a chocolate angel tops the tree. Even Santa himself has been recreated out of chocolate, sitting on his chair waiting for the big day in front of a fireplace. A placard in front of the display lists the ingredients, including a mind-blowing 1,400 pounds of dark chocolate and 120 pounds of cocoa butter.

Christmas Resort Countdown 2015: Boardwalk Inn

Themed as a turn-of-the-century inn in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Atlantic City, the Boardwalk Inn carries this late Victorian feel into its holiday décor. Over the main fireplace, traditional garlands are draped with care. The ornaments on the garlands are a tribute to the seashore, with carnival acts and animals woven in.
Outside, poinsettias abound on the walkways and on the terrace. A large, real tree has been set up in the courtyard, with oversized ornaments and flowers. The path to the BoardWalk Inn is lined with light posts wrapped in garlands.

Christmas Resort Countdown 2015: Beach Club

The Beach Club Resort has its own distinct theme, but all attention is immediately drawn to the enormous carousel constructed in the lobby using entirely edible objects.

Each horse is carefully carved from chocolate and fondant, and it rotates slowly to show the detail on every horse. Each horse has its own name and significance; for instance, the horse dubbed “Sasha” has a plate that says “1990”—the year the edible carousel was introduced. Each year, the carousel is updated with new horses and special details, but the concept remains the same.

A placard (made of chocolate, of course) at the front lists the ingredients for the carousel, including 150 pounds of icing and 100 gum paste flowers. Easily missed by many is the Donald Duck at the top dressed as Santa Claus.

Beyond the beautiful carousel, the Beach Club Resort also features lovely holiday trees with beach-themed ornaments, including seahorses and starfish. It gives a very unique feel to its décor compared to the other Epcot-area resorts.
