Popcorn buckets are a big deal in Disney World!
Popcorn Bucket in Magic Kingdom
We’ve seen such fun versions of them, too, like special ones for Halloween, buckets for Christmas, and those that look like your favorite characters. We love checking out all of the Premium Popcorn Buckets of special shapes and sizes, and all of the standard Refillable Popcorn Buckets around the parks. So, let’s take a look at ALL of the popcorn buckets you can get in Disney World right now!
Multiple Parks
HO! HO! HO! Get a load of the Santa Sulley Popcorn Bucket!
Santa Sulley!
There’s a limit of two per person, and they’re $26.00 each, including your first serving of popcorn.
Hey Sulley!
Though we first spotted him in Animal Kingdom during a recent visit, Sulley may be popping up at Popcorn Carts in the other parks as well, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled!
Magic Kingdom
Be on the lookout for the super cute collectible popcorn bucket featuring Mickey as an elf! It is available exclusively at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.
Elf Mickey Popcorn Bucket
Don’t forget — it’s a party exclusive, so you need a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party ticket to be able to purchase this bucket. The bucket is available for $27.95 at the Magic Kingdom’s outdoor dining carts during the party and is limited to two per person, per transaction while supplies last.
Hollywood Studios
The Alien Pizza Planet Truck Bucket has arrived at Hollywood Studios!!
Alien Pizza Planet Truck Bucket
Disneyland got the Pizza Planet bucket at the start of Pixar Fest earlier this year, and Disney fans in Florida were very jealous. But now’s your chance to grab it without having to travel all the way to California. You’ll can get it at various popcorn carts throughout Hollywood Studios for $26.00.
And the Mickey Mouse Perfect Picnic Basket Popcorn Bucket is currently available for purchase. (In January, we spotted it in Magic Kingdom as well.)
Perfect Picnic Popcorn Bucket
The bucket is made to look like Mickey’s gloved hand holding a picnic basket as a nod to “The Perfect Picnic” in Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. It comes with a serving of regular buttered popcorn.
Check out this PERFECT PICNIC Bucket HERE!
Animal Kingdom
HAKUNA MATATA!! The Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket features everyone’s favorite warthog as a Disney popcorn bucket!
Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket
One thing that we REALLY love about this popcorn bucket, though, is that it comes with a strap celebrating Animal Kingdom.

If you’re wanting to grab one for yourself, it’s being sold at Trek Snacks and most of the popcorn carts in Animal Kingdom.
Multiple Locations
In January 2024, a NEW standard Refillable Popcorn Bucket arrived in the Disney World theme parks! This new design features all sorts of fan-favorite characters and those beloved icons from the four main theme parks. On one side, you have the Toy Story aliens, Moana, Tower of Terror, and Spaceship Earth.

On the other side, you’ll see Princess Tiana, Simba, the Tree of Life, and Cinderella Castle.
The other side!
This $13 bucket includes some delicious popcorn, and popcorn refills are only $2.25 for the length of your stay.
At snack and drink carts around Disney Springs, you can find the Wish Valentino Bucket, complete with the goat’s signature smirk.

Since Valentino made his debut, we’ve spotted him in the parks, too!

Disney Springs
This utterly adorable Donald Duck Munchling Popcorn Bucket is now available at popcorn carts in the Westside area of Disney Springs! It made its debut in May 2024 in honor of Donald’s 90th BIRTHDAY!
Donald Duck Munchlings Popcorn Bucket
The bucket is based on Disney’s line of Munchlings merchandise. It comes in two pieces: the Donald “popcorn” piece, which actually holds the popcorn, and the white and red bucket portion that slides off and is held by the strap.
Two pieces
The Donald Duck Munchling Popcorn Bucket is available at Disney Springs for $20, including tax.

Hi Madison,
Are you saying that the gold xmas tree popcorn bucket is still available? Now, as in January 18-19?
Hi Judy, I can say for certain that I saw it at Animal Kingdom last Sunday (Jan. 16th) but the popcorn buckets seem to move around and pop up randomly with no notice. If you go to the parks, keep your eyes peeled and never hesitate to ask a Cast Member if they’ve seen a certain bucket. They can be really helpful.
I would like to purchase 2 Figment popcorn buckets and 1 light up Xmas tree. How do I go about it.
Thanks
Hi Karen,
Thanks for reaching out! The Figment popcorn buckets are currently unavailable because there was such a high demand for them that they sold out. The Christmas tree light up bucket (gold) can be purchased in the park if it is still available. The last time we saw it was Sunday at Animal Kingdom. If any popcorn buckets make a surprise return we will update!
I just saw the gold Christmas tree tonight at AK 1/19
Does the Epcot still have the 3 flavors of popcorn: Ranch, Bleu Cheese & buffalo? (I think this was the 3 flavors). We were there 3 years ago and mixed the flavors together and couldn’t get enough of it! So delicious and we have been craving it ever since! Hoping to have some when we come for a visit this summer!
Thanks Missy, and DFB Gigi,
I’m planning a trip to go to Disney this upcoming weekend and hope to see either the xmas tree bucket or any of the colored balloons, I doubt if figment will restock.—if you do see any them this week please post it so I’ll know where to go. –Judy
I would like to purchase the original Toy Story Alien popcorn bucket before my trip to Disney World. Are there any discounts on popcorn if you bring an older popcorn bucket to the park?
Hi Erin!
Unfortunately you can not get refills on older popcorn buckets. The buckets are redesigned seasonally with little tweaks to the design here and there. That doesn’t mean that you can’t still use your bucket, you just can’t get the discounted refills on it.
I am trying to get the Mickey Mouse and Minnie popcorn buckets . I am going to magic kingdom on feb.2 2022 where can I get them what store or stand has them .
Hi Carolyn! The popcorn buckets seem to move around so keep your eye out for them at all the popcorn stands. We’ve seen the Mickey popcorn bucket most recently at Animal Kingdom. I’ve even been stopped by other guests asking where I got a specific popcorn bucket so if you happen to see someone with that bucket, most likely they’ll be happy to tell you where they found it that day as well.
DFB Gigi and Missy,
Happy to report that I was able to get the gold X-mas tree light-up popcorn bucket at AK this past weekend AND was able to get the balloon (pink and blue) bucket at MK.–soo happy. Unfortunately, the Jack Skelington head bucket was out of stock. Thanks for the post….
Thanks so much for the update, Judy! I’m so excited you were able to find the buckets you wanted!
Awesome site. Going to WDW next week. Any clue what is found at Disney Springs? Thanks
Has anyone seen the Mickey Mouse 50th Anniversary Popcorn Bucket anywhere lately? I will be in the parks all next week (Feb 20-26) and would love to get one. Thank in advance!!
I would love an All Ears Fan that collects popcorn buckets to show us on IG or Tik Tok how exactly do you store them… like what’s your display set up because I am insanely confused what you all are doing with all these buckets.
Hi! I’ve NEVER done a popcorn bucket at Disney (or gotten popcorn there for that matter) BUT I think it is a great inexpensive refillable snack for our family of 6 going next month. Do you have a list of popcorn locations? If so please let me know where I can find it on your site. TIA!
Hi Chevy! We have a post where we talk about where to go to refill your popcorn buckets in each park. Just click here to read more! 🙂
Hi DFB Gigi,
going to Epcot this weekend, any new popcorn buckets coming out to watch out for?
Judy
Hi Judy! I hope you have an amazing weekend! Disney has not released any new popcorn buckets since Figment sold out, but you might find one of the 50th Anniversary buckets at the popcorn carts. I was hoping for a surprise Orange Bird bucket, but no such luck! Haha
Love these, but what I really want is a collapsible popcorn bucket 😂
Let me know when another figment bucket shows up
We got the conventional 50th bucket in March 2022. It was fine and easy to attach to a backpack. My daughter bought the falcon one previous. That one is a pain to clean. Popcorn gets stuck in the corners. That happens when you buy popcorn buckets that are in the shape of something.
Hi again, I saw on popcorn day that you could say a special phrase in Galaxy’s edge to get the mse droid popcorn bucket. Is this still a thing?
Hi Chevy! Unfortunately the special phrase deal ended on February 28th, but you can still purchase the mouse droid at Kat Saka’s Kettle. 🙂
Hi,
Do you know if the Jack Skeleton head popcorn bucket still available? I’m going to Disney this weekend. Pleae se let me know. thanks
What and where can I find character popcorn buckets at each park?
What’s available? Can I mobile order them? 1st day in park is 5/21/22
I have a cardboard fold up popcorn container from 1961-1962. Has little flaps that opens windows. I can find it NOWHERE when searching memoribilia. Looks like a castle. Any info on this?
Hi!! Does somebody know if I can buy the pink 50th anniversary Mickey balloon popcorn bucket?? Or if someone can help? I went to Disney last week and is a shame I could not purchase it ;;
Can I still get Simba popcorn bucket recently? I am going to Animal Kingdom next September.
Hi Toshi! We have seen the Simba buckets come and go so they might be there when you go, but there’s really no way to guarantee it.
Going to Magic Kingdom on friday! Does someone know if the 50th anniversary Mickey balloon popcorn buckets are still available?
Please continue to keep us informed of all of the popcorn buckets available at all of the theme parks and where to purchase them. This is so helpful to all of us. I’m hoping Figment returns.
We have family going to the theme parks the first week of November and we all want popcorn buckets to purchase, especially the younger children. Am I correct that we need to buy the newest popcorn buckets available to use during their stay or they will be considered outdated and we won’t be able to get them refilled?
Found the 50th Mickey at Disney Springs on 10/22
I heard Mr. Toads wild ride has a popcorn bucket, true?
We need a new post for these. I’d love to know what I must get at our upcoming trip
Don’t miss the mickey platinum sipper ad the super grog mug in platinum they re at several locations at MK. THE Confectioners SHOP ON THE RIGHT SIDE OFF THE MAIN STREET AT THE ENTRANCE. THEY ARE SIPPERS AND CONE WITH A GREAT drink on the side!!! This is awesome
Do you have any examples of popcorn buckets available during the flower and garden festival?
Does anyone know if the Cinderella coach popcorn bucket still available? Going in August.
Judy
So basically WDW rarely gets new buckets and when they do it keeps getting rereleased while Disneyland gets new ones every other month. In 2024 WDW has had 1 new release. DL has had 5.
