Spring is just around the corner at the Disney parks, and that usually means new seasonal treats, merchandise, and collectibles are about to appear. One of the most popular souvenirs guests look for these days is the latest popcorn bucket. Over the past few years, Disney has turned these containers into highly collectible items, with fans often lining up early just to grab the newest design.
Now Disney is preparing to release another seasonal favorite, and it’s themed around one of the most beloved characters in the company’s history.
A brand-new Winnie the Pooh popcorn bucket celebrating the Easter season is set to arrive soon at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World.
A Springtime Design Featuring Pooh and Piglet
The upcoming collectible is called the Winnie the Pooh & Piglet Spring Bucket, and it features a cheerful Easter theme. The bucket shows Winnie the Pooh holding a colorful Easter egg, surrounded by bright springtime details that match the season perfectly.
But the design includes a fun surprise.
Inside the egg is Piglet, and guests can reveal the character by pushing down on the top of the egg. When pressed, Piglet pops up from inside, turning the bucket into a playful little interactive toy as well as a snack container.
Disney has leaned into creative popcorn bucket designs in recent years, and this one continues that trend. Rather than just being a container for popcorn, the bucket doubles as a collectible display piece that fans can take home after their visit.
When Guests Can Buy It
Disney has already confirmed when the bucket will first appear in the parks.
The Winnie the Pooh & Piglet Spring Bucket will debut at Disneyland Resort beginning March 11. Walt Disney World will also receive the bucket, though Disney has not yet revealed the exact date when it will arrive in Florida.
As with many specialty popcorn buckets, Disney will limit how many guests can buy at once. The company says guests will be able to purchase two buckets per person, per transaction.
These limits are common whenever Disney releases collectible popcorn buckets. Popular designs can sell out quickly, especially when they feature classic characters.
Why Popcorn Buckets Have Become So Popular
If you’ve visited Disney parks recently, you’ve probably noticed how much attention popcorn buckets receive.
What used to be a simple snack container has turned into one of the most collectible items sold in the parks. Some buckets feature lights, moving parts, or character designs that make them feel more like toys than food containers.
Because many of them are only available for a limited time, fans often make it a priority to pick them up before they disappear.
The Winnie the Pooh bucket is likely to fall into that category, especially since the character remains incredibly popular with Disney fans of all ages.
For guests visiting the parks during the spring season, this new bucket may quickly become one of the most fun souvenirs to bring home.
