The Secret Way to Buy Disney Popcorn Buckets!

Disney Park fans, we know how you LOVE your themed popcorn buckets. And honestly, we totally get it!

Who knew popcorn buckets could be pretty

Popcorn Buckets have become a popular souvenir at Disney World ever since they started going above and beyond with their designs. We also know, however, that not everyone can go to the parks to get an exclusive popcorn bucket, but we did find this secret to getting a Disney-themed popcorn bucket WITHOUT even going to Disney World!

There have been buckets themed for holiday celebrations, such as Christmas and Halloween featuring your fave Disney pals on a Gold Musical Rotating Tin or characters from Nightmare Before Christmas, buckets themed after in-park festivities such as the iconic Mickey Mouse Balloon for Walt Disney World Resort’s 50th anniversary, and ones themed after beloved characters such as the Figment Popcorn bucket that famously had guests waiting HOURS for it.

The popcorn buckets are not only whimsical, but they also offer excellent value for your vacation. Buy the souvenir bucket once, and you can enjoy discounted refills throughout the theme parks and Disney Springs as often as you’d like during your stay!

And even outside of the resort, these buckets prove to be a great souvenir, as they can also be displayed as a collector’s item, repurposed as home decor, or used as a cute bag to add some razzle-dazzle to your outfits! But Disney World is not the ONLY place to get your hands on Disney-themed Popcorn buckets.

Movie theatres have joined in on the popcorn bucket game, and they’ve been absolutely slaying it ever since. With buckets themed exclusively to highly anticipated movie releases (and re-releases), some of the designs available have been worthy of the word ‘wow’! And the best part is that this even includes popcorn buckets themed after Disney movie premieres!

Cinemark Haunted Mansion Movie Popcorn Bucket

Movie theatre chains, including AMC, Regal, and Cinemark, have fun popcorn buckets sold for select Disney movie releases and they are just as fun and creative as the ones available at the parks. Buckets in the past have included Madame Leota from the 2023 Haunted Mansion movie, R2-D2 for the rerelease of The Phantom Menace, and even popcorn buckets for Marvel movies like Ant-Man’s Helmet for Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania!

With select movie releases from Disney, you can get your hands on a themed popcorn bucket from at least one theater chain — which is awesome because not only do you get some tasty popcorn to snack on during the movie, but you also get a killer souvenir! We do recommend, however, getting them as soon as they become available because they are indeed very sought after and can sell out quickly!

Anger Popcorn Bucket from Regal

And now, with the highly anticipated Inside Out 2 coming to theatres on June 14th, popcorn buckets themed after the movie will be released, including one from Regal that is designed after Anger’s fiery head (his hair even lights up!).

And there you have it, the secret way to get a Disney popcorn bucket without even stepping foot inside of Disney World! Stay tuned as we give you all the greatest tips and tricks here on AllEars!
