We Waited In A Long Line To Get Disney's New Popcorn Bucket…And We'd Do It Again

If you collect Disney popcorn buckets, you’ve probably been keeping up with all the latest popcorn bucket drops, and we’ve seen some VERY cool popcorn buckets recently, including a Salvaged Protocol Droid Popcorn Bucket, a Pixar Pal-A-Round Round Popcorn Bucket, and more.

Magic Key King Arthur Carrousel Popcorn Bucket

Well, if you want to get the NEWEST Disney popcorn bucket in Disneyland, which has a King Arthur Carrousel Theme, you’ll have to qualify for it first…that’s because this new popcorn bucket is a Magic Key holder exclusive! But it’s available now!

Although this popcorn bucket is exclusive to Magic Key holders, when we arrived to pick up one at the Main Street snack cart, there was a long line ahead of us (it had two switchbacks!). The good news is that there were plenty of King Arthur Carrousel Popcorn Buckets in stock, so by the time we made it through the line, we managed to purchase one for $39.75.

Just look at it!

Now that you’ve seen the popcorn bucket, though, we’re sure you can see the appeal. It’s like a miniature version of the Carrousel in Fantasyland! It has artwork inspired by the Carrousel with the horses and seats you’d find on the REAL version of King Arthur Carrousel. You’ll also see smaller renditions of artwork you’d find on the ride. The strap also says “Magic Key Holder” with some fun art on it.

Beautiful artwork

But what really sets this popcorn bucket apart is that it also plays music and spins like the ride! So you can now basically take King Arthur Carrousel home with you.

If you’re a Magic Key holder and want to get your hands on this popcorn bucket, we do recommend grabbing it as quickly as you can, because it’s already really popular. Although there were still plenty left when we bought ours, there’s no guarantee that will be the case later.

We’ll keep an eye out for more incredible Disney souvenirs like this one and let you know when we find them. So stay tuned to DFB for more.
