We’re very close to it being fall at Disney World, and with fall, it brings a lot of exciting things around the Disney parks.

Halloween at Disney World!
In August, we will see Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party return to Magic Kingdom. Soon, Main Street will be full of Mickey pumpkin wreaths and delicious fall treats. Over at EPCOT, we will also see the International Food and Wine Festival kick off on August 28th. As a new season starts, we can look forward to new decor, new snacks, and even new popcorn buckets!
Magic Kingdom can expect to get a new spooky popcorn bucket on the first day of the Halloween party! In 2024, we saw Scary Teddy as a bucket. While we don’t have details just yet on 2025’s version, we know that it will likely be popular. The lines for these party-exclusive buckets can be long, so if you’re hoping to snag this year’s bucket, be sure to head there to grab yours towards the beginning of the party!

Scary Teddy in 2024
With EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival starting in August as well, we aren’t sure if there will be a festival-exclusive popcorn bucket. In 2023, we saw a Food and Wine bucket that included a special themed carrying strap. However, in 2024, we did not see a new bucket. Could there be a new one coming to EPCOT soon? Possibly, but we wouldn’t put all of our eggs in that basket.

2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Picnic Basket Popcorn Bucket
Here are the popcorn buckets that are currently available at Disney World:
- Spaceship Earth Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket at EPCOT
- Mickey Mouse Bucket at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- Salvaged Clone Trooper Helmet at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
- Pumbaa Popcorn Bucket at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
- Standard Refillable Popcorn Bucket at multiple locations

Mickey!
