The recent release of the Figment refillable Disney World popcorn bucket had fans waiting through 6-hour lines to make a purchase, proving that these buckets are about more than just popcorn, but instead an important Disney souvenir. With the Figment Disney World popcorn buckets now selling for unbelievale prices on Ebay, we decided to do some research into other fan favorite Disney popcorn buckets to better understand the appeal, and what’s driving the latest Disney craze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Disney World Themed Popcorn Bucket?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we begin, lets quickly discuss the difference between the collectible themed popcorn buckets and the regular ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The themed popcorn buckets, which are shaped to characters or Disney objects, typically cost more, and many are sought out by collectors. These are the types of buckets featured in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, there are regular plastic tub refillable popcorn buckets. These are much cheaper in price and have characters printed on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.  Figment Popcorn Bucket<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We all know the Figment Popcorn bucket caused quite a stir when first released. Guests were reportedly waiting in lines that could reach 6 or 7 hours long, just to get their hands on this popcorn bucket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many guests were buying them to later resell, which angered Disney fans who wanted a Figment Disney World popcorn bucket as a souvenir, but couldn’t get one because they were sold out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This particular popcorn bucket could only be found in EPCOT and debuted during the Festival of the Arts inside the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after the quick sell-out of these buckets, Disney released more and made purchasing available on the My Disney Experience App, <\/a>a first for popcorn buckets.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Star Wars Disney World Popcorn Buckets<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There have been two insanely popular Star Wars themed popcorn buckets released. While other designs have been available, none took off quite as much as the R2-D2 and Millennium Falcon popcorn buckets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the Millennium Falcon bucket did lack some detail, it was still grabbed up quickly by guests. It didn\u2019t hold much popcorn, despite its large size, but guests did not seem to care. It also featured working lights, which was a big hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The R2-D2 popcorn bucket was a very close replica to the character in the films, which guests loved. This popcorn bucket was only available for a limited time inside Galaxy\u2019s Edge.<\/a> Nowadays, they sell on Ebay for about $50.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Mickey Ear Balloon Popcorn Bucket<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another popular Disney World popcorn bucket is the Mickey Balloon bucket. Over the past couple years, we have seen many iterations of this popcorn bucket. Most recently, the \u201cEar-idescent\u201d versions of this design have been released for the 50th<\/sup> anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These popcorn buckets come in four different colors, which could be found scattered around all four main Disney World parks. The four colors include blue, red, yellow, and green, all with an iridescent sheen to them.<\/p>\n\n\n

4. Toy Story Alien Popcorn Bucket<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the opening of Toy Story Land inside Hollywood Studios, a new refillable Disney World popcorn bucket debuted. This one was shaped like the beloved alien characters from Toy Story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bucket quickly became a fan favorite. During one of our trips, we encountered these popcorn buckets being carried everywhere, in every park. Guests had them on as little backpacks, hanging from strollers, and of course, full of popcorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite being sold only in Hollywood Studios inside Toy Story Land, these little alien popcorn buckets became the souvenir everyone had to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Disney World popcorn bucket was shaped like Cinderella\u2019s Carriage, and featured an image of Cinderella herself, inside. This bucket may not have held the most popcorn, but it was very intricate and detailed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful Disney World popcorn buckets I have ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
