Disney has recently started adding a virtual queue system for the popcorn buckets. It’s likely this may help keep the lines down this year.

Disney Popcorn Buckets

Disney popcorn buckets have become popular collectibles among Disney fans. Some are even resold online for massive amounts. However, specific popcorn buckets have yet to make much of a splash. So, it all depends on the uniqueness of each bucket and its tie to specific festivals, holidays, or special events.

In the past year, Disney has released popcorn buckets celebrating Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, the Disney100 celebration, Star Wars, the Wish movie, and one designed after Cinderella’s Coach.

Aside from the collectible nature of the popcorn buckets, they are also a popular money-saver when visiting Walt Disney World Resort (or Disneyland Resort). They allow guests to refill them endless times (for a reduced price).

About Steven

Steven has a complicated relationship with Disney. As a child, he visited Walt Disney World every few years with his family. But he never understood why kids his age (and older) were so scared of Snow White or Alien Encounter. He is a former participant of the Disney College Program (left early…long story), and he also previously worked in Children’s publishing, where he adapted multiple Disney movies and TV shows. He has many controversial opinions about Disney…like having a positive view of Michael Eisner, believing Return of the Jedi is superior to The Empire Strikes Back, and that Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge should have never been built (at least not at Hollywood Studios). Every year for the past two decades, Steven has visited either Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani or went on a Disney Cruise. He’s happy to share any and all knowledge of the Disney destinations (and he likes using parenthesis a lot…as well as ellipses…)
