Hi Gloria! Welcome to planDisney. I completely understand the feeling. It’s so easy to get caught up in all the magic of a
Disneyland Resort visit and then realize later there was one little souvenir you wish you’d grabbed. Those popcorn buckets, especially the themed ones like Mater, have a special way of bringing a bit of that Disney joy home with you.
At the moment, specialty popcorn buckets, like the Mater design, are considered park exclusives. That means they’re only available for purchase in person at the Disneyland Resort and unfortunately aren’t offered through mail order or online sales. If you or a friend are planning another visit to the parks soon, it might be worth checking to see if any of the Mater popcorn buckets are still available. Sometimes the Disney magic has a way of making favorite items reappear!
In the meantime, if you’d like to browse for other fun Disney treasures, I’d recommend exploring
shopDisney. While you might not find the Mater popcorn bucket there, you’ll discover a variety of park-inspired items, including apparel, collectible pins, and even themed kitchenware that can help bring a touch of the parks to your home. You may even find an exclusive or two that becomes a new favorite in your collection.
For the latest updates on park merchandise, I also suggest following the
Disney Parks Blog. They regularly share news about upcoming souvenir releases, seasonal popcorn bucket designs, and limited-time treats. Keeping an eye there can help you plan ahead for your next Disneyland visit, because we both know how satisfying it is to finally bring home that perfect Disney find.
Gloria, I hope this helps guide your search as you plan your next visit. The magic of Disneyland is never far away, and there’s always something new waiting to make your next trip even more memorable.
Have an incredible day filled with magical moments!
David
