A Mobile Order CHANGE Could Hit EPCOT in January

The return of a popular souvenir at EPCOT could cause chaos this upcoming January.

Figment Popcorn Bucket

The EPCOT International Festival of the Arts is BACK in 2026 from January 16th through February 23rd, 2026, and we are SO EXCITED for all the offerings — including a fan-favorite popcorn bucket! The Figment Popcorn Bucket — which has had a few different forms over the past few years and comes with rainbow popcorn — has been the center of some drama, as long lines and high demand have resulted in plenty of stressful days. With that said, a change implemented in 2025 could be back in 2026, altering the way you can get one of these highly sought-after Figment souvenirs.

In 2025, the Figment Popcorn Bucket could be found for $28 inside Figment’s Inspiration Station at the Odyssey. With that said, it was available via Mobile Order on the My Disney Experience app.

In the past, we’ve seen this bucket garner incredibly long lines and also use virtual queues, so the change was VERY welcome! When we got ours in 2025, it only took us around 15 minutes to pick one up — a massive difference from years past, and one we hope continues into 2026 and beyond.

In 2025, these were the steps you’d have to follow to place an order:

  • Open up the My Disney Experience app.
  • Tap the (+) icon at the bottom of your screen and select “Order Food.”
  • Select a mobile order arrival window from the available times for “EPCOT Souvenir Release”.
  • Once your window arrives, head to the Odyssey Pavilion and select “I’m Here, Prepare My Order.”

As of this writing, the latest version of the bucket has yet to be revealed, but this cute souvenir that houses the included rainbow popcorn has looked like the little famous dragon…

…and in 2025 featured Figment atop a lightbulb. However, 2025’s version was especially unique since it glowed in the dark! 

We love him!

Of note, we got our bucket on the first day of the festival in 2025, and we definitely think patience is NOT a virtue when it comes to this souvenir. Get yours as soon as possible, as the newest version will likely fly off the shelves this upcoming January!
