Hi Jennifer,
Welcome to planDisney! Popcorn is one of my go-to snacks when I’m in the Disney parks, but I have a confession to make. Although I cannot resist the smell of fresh popcorn, I will almost always forget the refillable popcorn bucket in the resort room! My family has to designate someone else as the bucket carrier so we can enjoy a salty treat and the discounted price for a refill.
Since you’re coming in November, popcorn bucket designs and availability are subject to change. The Spaceship Earth Mickey Mouse Balloon bucket was not available in
EPCOT during a visit a few days ago, but perhaps it will be restocked by the time you visit. There’s often a Resort-wide popcorn bucket design available at any popcorn stand. The Disney Starlight Parade popcorn bucket may also be available during your visit.
Hollywood Studios often has exclusive designs, like the talking Mickey Mouse popcorn bucket or the Salvaged Stormtrooper Helmet bucket.
Animal Kingdom also has an exclusive Pumbaa popcorn bucket, and you can purchase a matching Timon sipper. There is also a Jack Skellington popcorn bucket that is only available during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but since you’re visiting in November, you might see a few
Christmas-themed options instead.
I usually choose the standard bucket designs because I can easily fit the bucket in my park bag and suitcase. But maybe if I buy one of the exclusive designs, I wouldn’t forget to grab the bucket before leaving the Resort room each morning! As I stated earlier, these options may change before your visit, whether they are restocked or replaced with new seasonal designs. If you have any more questions, please send them our way at
