It was love at first sight when we first discovered this new Steamboat Minnie Balloon Popcorn Bucket at Disneyland!
Steamboat Minnie Balloon Popcorn Bucket
But like so many highly sought-after things in life, this little cutie was an Annual Passholder exclusive, meaning you had to be a card-carrying Disneyland AP member to get your hands on it! But that was before the Steamboat Minnie Balloon Popcorn Bucket motored her way into Disney World!
That’s right, friends! The adorable, old-timey vision in black, white, and gray has made landfall at Disney World today! We spotted the Steamboat Minnie Balloon Popcorn Bucket at Magic Kingdom! And guess what? She’s just sailed in her very own dreamboat, the Steamboat Willie Balloon Popcorn Bucket!

As you’ll recall, the Steamboat Willie Balloon Popcorn Bucket originally came out in January of last year, but he’s been rather hit-or-miss for a while now! Finally, it looks like these two lovebirds are together at the Disney parks for the very first time in their popcorn bucket courtship! (Could it be only a coincidence since their new attraction, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is opening next week at Hollywood Studios?)

She looks just like the version we spotted earlier at Disneyland with one key difference — there’s no AP marking on the back! Disney World’s Steamboat Minnie Balloon Popcorn Bucket costs $16 and is fair-game to everybody!

We just can’t resist her vintage good looks, from her cute little skirt to her white gloves that hold her to her strap!

And we love that she comes topped with her signature hat — styled with a little daisy on top, of course!

We’re obsessed with how the strap looks like a piece of black and white film! Plus it features our girl Minnie in a variety of adorable poses!

And while we haven’t seen the Mickey Balloon Ears or Mickey Balloon Spirit Jersey float over from Disneyland yet, we’re hoping they’ll be the next to arrive! Stay tuned!

Wish you could show how much popcorn is in it, it looks like very little if that little part is all that holds popcorn?
HI Mickay, I always get my buckets empty and the cast members are happy to give you popcorn on the side in the regular containers they use, this way keeps my bucket clean for traveling home as a fun souvenir 🙂
I wonder how long these are going to be available for… Any idea???
Will these be considered snacks on the dining plan?
Sheri, you can not get popcorn buckets with a snack credit. You can get a refill of popcorn with a snack credit (but since it’s only $2, it’s not a good monetary value to do so).
Does Disney World Magic Kingdom still have the steamboat Mickey and Minnie popcorn buckets as of August 2021
Bec, right now we’re seeing the Casey, Jr., buckets only, no Steamboat Mickey or Minnie.
