food IS a theme park
Happy holidays from Disney World, everyone! Today marks the official beginning of the festive season at the parks, even if we’ve already seen many decorations, merch, and snacks.
Toy Soldiers in Magic Kingdom
And we’re seeing a few things from previous holidays turn up, too, including a special OoOoO-worthy popcorn bucket!
Happy Holidaaaays!! 🎄
Christmas Tree Popcorn Bucket
Okay, we know Thanksgiving hasn’t happened yet but Disney World (and we here at DFB) are known to celebrate the holidays a little bit early! We’ve already shared some of the holiday decor and merchandise around the parks, but now it’s time to get down to the more buttery things in life. That’s right — holiday popcorn buckets have arrived in Disney World!
Is there anything more calming than snacking on popcorn as you stroll through Disneyland? Probs not.
Disneyland Popcorn
We might not be able to get our munch on in Main Street, U.S.A. right now, but we can at least do some shopping in Downtown Disney (and Disney California Adventure soon!). If you’re missing Disneyland popcorn, you’re gonna want to see this souvenir find!
Who’s ready for a trip around the world?? Well, the World Showcase, that is!
Spaceship Earth
We stopped by EPCOT to see what’s new since our last visit and we were greeted with a TON of new snacks and drinks, plus a fun spirit jersey that gives us major fall vibes. Here are all of the latest food and merchandise updates from EPCOT!
‘Tis the season for all things spooky at Disney World! And that even includes spooky Halloween popcorn buckets!
Orange Cauldron Popcorn Bucket
And we’ve been on a mission to find every single one in the parks that we can find. So far, we’ve seen Oogie Boogie, a Hitchhiking Ghost, and a creepy cauldron (among others).
We are all about grim grinning ghosts coming out to socialize, and they’ve been doing a lot of that this Halloween season at Disney World!
Hitchhiking Ghosts Loungefly Bag
We’ve been seeing those Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion turning up everywhere — on bags, on ornaments, and magnets! We’ve even previously seen them on our food!
We’ve already stocked up on Mickey Mouse Jack-o’-Lantern candy buckets, Halloween inflatables, and Halloween costumes!

But there’s another thing we’ve been eagerly awaiting…the arrival of spooky popcorn buckets in Disney World. But now, the wait is officially over!
We hadn’t seen ANY new souvenir popcorn buckets since Disney World reopened — until today.
Refilled Bucket
We were in Hollywood Studios today checking out the glitz and glamor when we spotted something pretty interesting. The FIRST new souvenir popcorn bucket since Disney World reopened has arrived in the parks. And…well…we think it may have gotten a little lost on the way here.
Shopping for souvenirs in Disney World almost seems like a rite of passage for some people. If you don’t come home with a pair of Mickey ears, did you even GO to Disney World?!
We love these!
But some pieces of merchandise are more “rare” than others. Often times you can find Disney parks merchandise online or at your local Disney Store, but other times there are items that can ONLY be found in the parks! [Read more…]
Disney-owned locations reopened today in Disney Springs and we 👏 have 👏 questions!
Popcorn in Disney Springs
If you know us, then you KNOW we miss our Disney snacks. We’ve been investigating all those snack locations to see what iconic Disney eats are available to us once more. We’ve spotted Mickey Pretzels, Popcorn, and even DOLE WHIP. One thing is heavy on our minds though — will Cast Members still refill our refillable popcorn buckets with the added health measures? We found out!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
