Get ready to mark your calendars and sharpen your collecting skills, Disney fans! A brand new year means brand new merchandise, and Disney is kicking off 2025 with a bang. If you love Disney snacks and unique souvenirs, you won’t want to miss this exciting release. We are thrilled to announce that two new Disney popcorn buckets drop January 13, and they are absolutely adorable!
Meet the New 2025 Collectibles
While the popcorn bucket trend has been going strong for years, Disney continues to raise the bar with innovative designs. Starting January 13, 2025, guests at Walt Disney World and Disneyland (and likely available on shopDisney) will be able to get their hands on the latest must-have items. While specific designs are often a surprise until the official launch, these January releases are expected to feature beloved characters in a fresh, playful style perfect for the new year.
Collectors know that Disney popcorn buckets are more than just containers for a tasty snack; they are functional pieces of art that commemorate a specific trip or season.
Popcorn Buckets Bloom with EPCOT Events
Disney’s popcorn buckets often tie into magical park happenings, adding extra flair to your snacking adventure! For spring enthusiasts, keep an eye out for themed designs during the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival. These limited-edition buckets feature vibrant florals and characters, perfect for strolling the gardens while munching. Don’t miss the 2026 lineup—it’s sure to sprout joy and become your new favorite collectible!
These new buckets are designed to be carried around the parks all day long, serving as both a stylish accessory and a conversation starter.
Why Disney Popcorn Buckets Are So Popular
It’s no secret that Disney fans go wild for limited-edition merchandise. But what makes these popcorn buckets so special?
- Exclusive Designs: Each bucket features unique character art and themes that you can’t find anywhere else.
- Refillable Fun: Most popcorn buckets offer discounted popcorn refills throughout your visit, making them a budget-friendly (and delicious) souvenir.
- Instant Souvenir: Unlike shipping items home, you can start enjoying your new bucket immediately.
Tips for Securing Your Bucket on January 13
Because these items are highly sought after, they often sell out quickly. If you are planning a trip to the Disney parks on the release date, here is how you can increase your chances of snagging one:
- Arrive Early: Popular merchandise often sells out within hours of the park gates opening. Be there before rope drop!
- Check Popcorn Carts First: Head straight to popcorn stands rather than larger gift shops. They are often the first place to stock the new arrivals.
- Use Mobile Ordering (if available): Keep an eye on the official Disney Parks app to see if the buckets are available via mobile order.
Don’t Miss Out!
Whether you are a serious collector or just looking for a fun way to enjoy your favorite park snack, these new additions are sure to bring a smile to your face. Be sure to check the Disney Parks Blog or the official app on January 13 for the official reveal of the designs.
