food IS a theme park
POPCORN BUCKET ALERT!
A new popcorn bucket has arrived on the scene!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party has officially started in Magic Kingdom, and while that means tons of special snacks, candy, entertainment, and fireworks, it also means a new popcorn bucket. Two of the popcorn buckets this year are part of the special souvenirs that are only available during the event, but there are also two new additions that you can get all throughout the season.
Okay, so we love Halloween in the Disney Parks, and it may be one of our favorite times of the year to visit them.
Halloween Popcorn Buckets
Disney World and Disneyland get decked out in decorations, and guests can grab special treats. We also love going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Oogie Boogie Bash. The best part is that we don’t have to wait until Halloween to start celebrating — the season kicks off in August.
Know what makes us giggle? What puts a smile on our face? Well, leave it to Disney to create the perfect popcorn bucket for an instant mood boost. During our visit to Disneyland Resort, we made a new friend. Meet our new Disney popcorn bucket!
He’s finally here!
The Halloween season brings a LOT of festive fun to Disneyland. We love trying all the fall and Halloween snacks around the resort, and can’t stop ourselves from checking out the super cute merchandise Disney releases for the season. And now, this might be one of our new FAVORITE parts of fall — the Mickey Ghost Popcorn Bucket is FINALLY available!
Okay, so we love Halloween in Disney World, and it may be one of our favorite times of the year to visit the parks.
Stitch Mummy Popcorn Bucket
First, the decorations are OFF THE HOOK in Magic Kingdom (and Disney went above and beyond this year in that regard). We also love going to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, where we, as adults, can trick or treat just like the kids. Then there’s the FOOD. But there’s also a lot of epic merchandise that releases this time of year, and Disney’s latest Halloween souvenir is already proving to be so popular that it’s selling out.
It’s Halloween season, and Disney World is in the spooky swing of things!
Halloween in Magic Kingdom
We’ve already been to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and shopped a plethora of seasonal merchandise in the stores, and we’ve even tried several spooky snacks in the past several weeks. But Disney will be continuing these celebrations until Halloween! And today, we got a NEW Halloween collectible in the parks.
Alright. We’re gonna say it. Jack Skellington? He’s a little spooky! Although he makes a great Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party host, there’s something about his tall, looming presence that sends a shiver down our spine. Anyone else?!
Jack and Sally
Well, Jack is BACK at the 2024 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, and this year, he brought a SCARY addition to the Magic Kingdom! Wait until you see the new souvenir EVERYONE is talking about online right now.
If you wanna talk about fan-favorite souvenirs at Disney World, it probably comes as no surprise that popcorn buckets are pretty high up on that list!
Strike up the band
But what’s even better than a popcorn bucket in Disney World? An EXCLUSIVE popcorn bucket that only a select few can get, making it all the more unique! In 2023, those visiting Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party have the opportunity to purchase an exclusive Halloween bucket, and these can often be VERY popular. In 2022, the exclusive Halloween popcorn bucket featured Zero, the ghost dog from The Nightmare Before Christmas. This year’s party-exclusive bucket? Well, you’ll just have to come along with us and find out!
Every year, we see the Disney World merch team round up the usual suspects for Halloween: new Loungefly bags, Crocs, Starbucks Tumblers, and pins. Lots and lots of pins. Don’t get us wrong — we love all those spooky Loungefly bags, but this year something new caught our eye.
Happy Halloween!
When we discovered Disney’s NEW Halloween popcorn bucket, we immediately fell in love. It even reminds us of the SUPER popular Light-Up Mickey Pumpkins that sold out in 5 minutes flat on shopDisney recently. (Those pumpkins may return online soon, though!) So naturally, after discovering this new popcorn bucket, we HAD to show it off. But there’s one small problem; we may need to book a flight just to get ahold of this new souvenir.
It’s officially the Halloween season in Disney World, so you know what that means! Pumpkins and Jack-o-lanterns are everywhere, fall-colored bunting has appeared throughout Main Street, U.S.A., and Disney is swapping out its affinity for blue food dye to orange food dye. 😂
Halloween is here!
Plus, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off tonight, but you don’t have to wait until the sun sets to get some spooky treats or villainous souvenirs.
Although it’s only August, Disney is already gearing up for Halloween celebrations, as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party officially kicks off on August 12th. This party will bring a fireworks show, a parade, trick-or-treat stations, and villainous meet-and-greets to Magic Kingdom, not to mention all the new treats and snacks!
Halloween decorations to DIE for
Besides all the candy that guests can collect throughout the park, there will be new snacks, treats, and drinks at various restaurants and kiosks throughout Magic Kingdom. Some of these locations will also have special souvenirs, including popcorn buckets and souvenir cups — and now we know exactly WHICH collectibles will be arriving in Disney World for the occasion. Check them out here!
