A new popcorn bucket arrived at Disneyland… and brought massive lines with it.
Excitement over new popcorn buckets is nothing new at Disney’s theme parks, especially seasonal items like the litany of spooky season ones that have been debuting in the last few weeks. However, even with that, we were taken aback by the huge lines that accompanied a new Nightmare Before Christmas bucket.
Scary Teddy — a minor character from the 1993 Tim Burton-produced film — first debuted as a popcorn bucket at the 2024 installment of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. The bucket was immensely successful at that event, often selling out.
Now Scary Teddy has made its way across the country to the “Happiest Place on Earth” and people were STOKED.
Lines to get the spooky bucket stretched all the way from Pirates of the Caribbean to the Haunted Mansion, with massive crowds clamoring to get their hands on the $30 souvenir.
The bucket features the character in all its glory, including a cape. The popcorn can be accessed through the bucket’s massive, tooth-filled mouth. Given Scary Teddy’s role in the film — it’s a vampire teddy bear that attempts to eat children on Christmas morning — having to reach right into the bucket’s gaping mouth is a nice, macabre touch.
The Scary Teddy popcorn bucket made its highly anticipated debut at Disneyland, and drew in massive lines. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney souvenir updates.
