Each Christmas the Grand Floridian Resort in Walt Disney World in Florida constructs a giant gingerbread house (made out of real gingerbread) in the lobby of the hotel. Visitors can purchase a variety of gingerbread treats from the kiosk including gingerbread men and chocolate dipped gingerbread shingles - although in our experience, eating a giant gingerbread shingle kind of just tasted like eating a giant shingle. The gingerbread house itself is amazing though.

Haunted Homesteads on the Canadian Prairies
With a number of new travel shoots across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba this autumn, I inadvertently kept spotting abandoned houses and homesteads all over the prairies. These are just a few of the "haunted" highlights found on numerous backroads across the Canadian Prairies.

Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris
Welcome to Phantom Manor in Frontierland at Disneyland Paris in France. Unlike the other haunted mansion attractions at Disney Parks, because of its location in Frontierland, Phantom Manor has incorporated a number of western influences into the design of this ride.

Elvis Presley's Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee
Elvis may have left the building, but that hasn't stopped countless fans from visiting Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee each year. As one of the most popular homes in the United States, the former estate of Elvis Presley is now a museum, archive, national historic site, and shrine to the life and music of this undisputed rock and roll legend.
Elvis would call Graceland home for two decades, before his untimely death here in 1977. Recognizing the enormous upkeep costs, Graceland was opened for public tours on June 7, 1982. He, along with his parents, Gladys and Vernon, and his grandmother, are all buried in the Meditation Garden on the property.
