It’s time to celebrate Disney California Adventure! The second theme park at Disneyland Resort is turning 25 years old, and yes, we feel ancient thinking about it.

Disney is celebrating as only they know how! With limited time snacks, merchandise, and, of course, a popcorn bucket! We can already tell this new souvenir will be POPULAR, so let’s check it out together.

We are already clearing off a spot on our shelves for this brand-new Disney popcorn bucket! This new souvenir is inspired by the park’s icon, Pixar Pal-A-Round, and is (obviously) named thePixar Pal-A-Round Bucket.

Not only is it cute, it also has the “Magic Inside” technology, which means it can react to different locations around Disney California Adventure and Disneyland Park! The popcorn bucket will change colors and lightning patterns as you explore the theme parks.

Disney also shared that the lights will “enhance the storytelling” of select nighttime spectaculars, so be prepared for lots of nighttime fun. We’ve been covering theme parks for over 15 years and have never seen a bucket quite like this one! Disney shared a video of the bucket over on X.

Not only does it light up, but it also spins just like the original attraction, and the seats even swing back and forth! Luckily, this won’t scare some guests like the attraction does. Plus, the strap features detailing for the 25th anniversary.
