Today we shared a first look at some of the treats coming to Magic Kingdom and Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party this year!
Mickey Light Up Tree Bucket
During this, we got a first look at a popcorn bucket we THOUGHT was supposed to be a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party exclusive (because that’s what Disney had shared)… But Santa brought our Christmas present a bit early as this the Mickey Light-Up Tree Popcorn Bucket was actually spotted today in Animal Kingdom.
We found the Mickey Light-Up Tree Popcorn Bucket ($25) at locations like Mahindi in Africa and Corn-Ivores in DinoLand U.S.A. and y’all these buckets were SELLING OUT like crazy.

While we saw the Mickey Light-Up Tree Popcorn Bucket on display, it was sold out at every location we tried to get it from. The Cast Member did inform us that they’d be restocking throughout the day, but it seems like this bucket is one hot commodity!

We circled throughout the park trying to get our hands on one and hand to patiently await as Cast Members restocked them.
It may be because this sipper is so stinkin’ cute! The bucket is covered in multi-colored lights that actually light up! The button which will allow these festive lights to blink or remain steady is located on the inside of the lid.

Mickey is seen holding a beautifully wrapped gift that he’s likely getting ready to place beneath the tree. I wonder if it’s a present for Minnie?!

Isn’t it precious?!
This isn’t the only holiday souvenir item we spotted at Animal Kingdom today as we also saw the Elf Mickey Popcorn Bucket and the Mickey Jingle Bell Sipper! Christmastime is here!

So cute! Can i order one online?
Linda, so far it’s not on ShopDisney, and we don’t typically see popcorn buckets there. You might find it from a reseller… for a steep price, usually.
Do you know when these will be available at Disneyland?
Are we able to use snack credits for these?
Shay, no DDP for the bucket.
I love this! How much does it cost to get a popcorn refill in this bucket? Thanks!
Emma, with specialty buckets, it’s often hit or miss whether cast members will refill it. If they do, it should be the same price as a regular bucket refill.
