Hi Richard,
We have a cabinet full of Disney World popcorn buckets at our house. They are such a fun souvenir and there is always a new, creative one to collect. Right now there are some epic options to choose from so I am sure you will be able to find one you love!
If you find yourself hanging out in
Disney Springs, the popcorn carts in the Westside area are selling my favorite current popcorn bucket! The Donald Duck Munchling Popcorn Bucket is absolutely adorable and developing quite the hype online. Since they are becoming increasingly popular, I would make my way there quickly if you are interested in this one. There is also a Valentino Popcorn Bucket from the new movie,
Wish. If you are like me and grew up on The Lion King, you will adore the Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket at
Disney's Animal Kingdom. I promise it smells delicious, unlike the "real" Pumbaa. Collecting this beauty is the perfect way to celebrate the 30th anniversary of a Disney classic. There are a few reports that this may not be available this week because it is being rereleased next month, but I did see it earlier this month so it is worth a look to see if it is being featured right now.
There are a few options available in
Disney's Hollywood Studios. I love the new Minnie Mouse Perfect Picnic Basket Popcorn Bucket because it is a fabulous throwback to the Minnie and Mickey's Runaway Railway Ride and it is super cute with a little Mickey hand holding it. I have also seen the Droid Parts Popcorn Bucket available in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge recently but have heard that it keeps selling out quickly so may not always be available. If you can find this one, it is such a fun Star Wars souvenir and worth purchasing.
I hope you enjoy the popcorn in those buckets! There is nothing like Disney World popcorn, especially when it is paired with a fabulous frozen drink. My new favorite frozen drink is the Frozen Bellini at
PizzeRizzo! I know it sounds weird, but dipping your popcorn in it is delicious.
Happy Planning,
Jenna
