First Look: All Walt Disney World Popcorn Buckets Available in July 2026
By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Each park features its own tailored roster of novelty containers alongside standard summer designs. Navigating these stands requires knowing which carts carry park-exclusive molds versus property-wide inventory.
At Magic Kingdom, standard carts stock the rotating seasonal Mickey balloon bucket (priced at $22.50 in radiant yellow for summer) alongside the classic tiered drum bucket. Cinderella Castle hub carts carry the full character novelty range, whereas Fantasyland carts near Storybook Circus emphasize kid-friendly character shapes.
EPCOT novelty buckets emphasize World Showcase heritage and futuristic World Celebration icons. Aside from Sam Eagle at The American Adventure, visitors can find the stylized EPCOT Spaceship Earth geometrical bucket at the front entrance carts for $24.00. Canada and United Kingdom popcorn carts continue offering standard festival buckets, with select carts serving flavored maple and cheddar varieties that qualify under standard refill rates.
Hollywood Studios popcorn stands cater heavily to Lucasfilm and Pixar franchises. The Toy Story Alien carrying case ($26.00) remains stocked near the entrance to Toy Story Land, while Kat Saka’s Kettle in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge carries the thermal detonator orb vessel. Keep in mind that Kat Saka's features the specialty Outpost Popcorn Mix (sweet and spicy), which incurs a slight upcharge on standard refill pricing.
Animal Kingdom souvenir snacks center around conservation and creature aesthetics. Harambe Market and Discovery Island carts currently stock the sculptured Pumbaa novelty bucket ($24.50) alongside lion-themed classic containers. Animal Kingdom carts also carry specialty spiced and trekmix blends at the Mahindi stand in Africa.
