Disneyland’s Halloween Time is a popular event with park goers, but did you know that there are events at Downtown Disney which don’t require admission to the parks?
On Sunday, October 23rd from 12 pm to 2pm, Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen will host the Haunted Gingerbread House Workshop.
Kids of all ages are invited to partake in the festive tradition of building and decorating their own haunted gingerbread houses at Ralph Brennan’s Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney District.
Join Chef Darrin Finkel as he leads a hands-on assembly demonstration of a gingerbread house. Then, dive into the fun stuff—adding ghoulish and ghostly touches with handfuls of candy. Make your gingerbread house the spookiest on the block!
The cost for the event is $48.00 plus tax per gingerbread kit. The kit includes a gingerbread house and candy, a special treat for the kids, unlimited sodas and 2 seats.
You can make reservations at (714) 776-5200, Monday – Friday 10a – 4pm. Advance payment by credit card is required for reservation confirmation. Jazz Kitchen will not be responsible for the assembly, holding or transporting of gingerbread houses. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
