We all know and love the sight… you know you’ve arrived on Main Street, U.S.A. when you spot a bevy of balloons waving high overhead.
And now, at long last, you can bring one home with you from Disney World that will never deflate!
Because the Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket can now be found in Magic Kingdom!
These balloon-themed buckets made their debut in Disneyland in 2015 as part of the park’s 60th Anniversary — the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration. Here is one achieving its popcorn-filled destiny in Disney California Adventure.
In Disneyland, they also came out in blue and purple (and we’ve seen elusive yellow ones, too!). For the time being, we’ve only spotted this one in red in Magic Kingdom — and at limited popcorn carts at that. We found them today, for instance, at the Storybook Circus popcorn cart and noticed them at just a few others. But they’re not at every cart. At least not yet!
The price for the Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket is $15.00, and the refill price is $1.75 (or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit). So, if you love these…
… be sure to grab one of THESE the next time you’re in Magic Kingdom!
And as we say ’round these parts… have a Magical Day!

Rachel says
Absolutely darling, but…how does it open, lol?
Margaret says
how does the balloon popcorn bucket open ?
DFB Sarah says
Margaret, there’s a small door on the back of the balloon that opens downward. If you want to see what I mean, there are some images on Google. 🙂

jessie says
I’m going to the parks this weekend and wanted to know if anyone has seen any of these in any of the 4 parks still?
Jen says
Are these still gonna be there in June??
DFB Sarah says
Jen, we will keep an eye out!
Aline says
Hi, I want to know if may use the old popcorn bucket and pay only the refil price? Thanks
DFB Sarah says
Aline, the official word is that you can get popcorn bucket refills for the length of stay during which you purchased the bucket.
Daysi says
I have the red one……which one is out now?
DFB Sarah says
Daysi, we’re still seeing the red.
Katrina says
That popcorn was stale the three times I tried it. This obviously is all about the souvenir buckets because the popcorn is horrible.
Megan Yavoich says
Are you sure that they qualify for a DDP Snack Credit? If so, that’s an incredible value! I just wanted to double check, because I noticed that a few of the things previously recommended as a great value for a snack credit (items at Sleepy Hallow and Oasis Canteen) say “Dining Plans Not Accepted” on the Disney site.
DFB Sarah says
Megan, that’s true, the Disney site doesn’t include DDP info for snack kiosks and small counter service spots like Sleep Hollow — even when they do accept snack credits. Popcorn buckets are not snack credit eligible, but popcorn bucket refills are.
