Real Disney Adults know that the ultimate Disney World souvenir is a popcorn bucket. These are prized possessions that some people will wait HOURS in line for. Some people don’t even eat the popcorn!

This year has been an excellent one for popcorn bucket collectors, and we’re sharing five of the most popular ones we’ve seen. After seeing these, you might just want to book a plane ticket to Disney right now.

EPCOT Festival of the Arts Figment Lightbulb

Festival of the Arts has been the highlight for popcorn bucket collectors for the past few years. This bucket features a pull string at the back that activates the bucket to light up and play a song.

It even came with rainbow popcorn!

In 2022, the Figment Popcorn Bucket had lines that were over six hours long. Since this 2022 bucket, Disney has been using a virtual queue system for popcorn buckets at the Festival of the Arts, allowing people to avoid physically waiting in long lines during their EPCOT visit.

Death Star

We’re not being dramatic when we say our jaws dropped when we saw this popcorn bucket. The biggest Star Wars fans on the DFB team started immediately planning their next Disney trip.

This Death Star popcorn bucket had built-in lights and is so instantly recognizable that we knew we needed it.

The popcorn was stored on top with a circular hatch.

Talking Mickey

This bucket started over in Disneyland for the 70th anniversary but made its way to the Eest Coast, and we’re obsessed (and a little weirded out).

He talks, blinks, and moves his head, and you can even say “Hey Mickey” to him and he’ll go through the sound bites. Did we need a popcorn bucket we could talk to? We’re not sure, but we do appreciate the details.

To fill it with popcorn, you’ll have to open the back of Mickey’s head, which is strange, but hey, where else would it go?

Prince Charming Carousel

This bucket is just perfect for the Magic Kingdom lovers! It looks like Prince Charming Regal Carousel, and we love the bright colors on it.

The horses move around, and it plays “A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes,” and if that doesn’t make us want to cry, we don’t know what does.

The whole pointed top opens up, and your popcorn is in the circular part of the carousel.

Spaceship Earth Mickey Balloon

EPCOT fans are pretty hardcore about their souvenirs, and we don’t blame them. This bucket feels like it perfectly encapsulates EPCOT.

It resembles Spaceship Earth and features different lighting options, just like the real one.

There’s a hatch that flips open on the back where you can store your popcorn.
