Get Your Popcorn! Get Your Bucket!

It was just over a month ago that we celebrated National Popcorn Day. “Americans eat about 13 billion quarts of popped corn a year.” Popcorn is well known as the perfect movie accompaniment, and it just happens to be one of our favorite snacks, especially when it is buttery and salty! And, do you know what makes popcorn even better? A Disney bucket, of course.

We have all seen the videos of people lining up for six or seven hours to try to get their hands on the Figment bucket. The attraction of popcorn buckets is in no way a new thing. But while the craze for Disney branded popcorn buckets has reached its highest level yet, we have slowly been seeing this trend continue to build for a few years. However, the lines for the adorable Figment bucket have been like nothing we have seen before. Even weeks after it was sold out, we have been trying to find a Figment bucket to buy online, and no luck.

Whether it was the 50th anniversary Mickey ears bucket or the Alien bucket or any of their seasonally themed buckets, Disney knows the way to our hearts and our wallets. The buckets are not just a great snack at the park, they also make the perfect souvenir. In fact, we still have a Halloween Bucket that continues to make its appearance regularly for movie night.

The Disney buckets are priced from $10.00-$25.00 depending on the size and the theme. The small buckets are great for a quick snack at the park, and they are easy enough to carry around with you. They also come with a lid, so if you have any self-control, you can throw the lid on and leave it for a snack later in the day. The larger buckets are also refillable. The refillable popcorn containers really help extend your snack budget as you can refill it through the duration of your vacation for just a couple of dollars.

And, you can buy the perfect item to go with your new popcorn bucket. We saw on ShopDisney that you can buy the “Toy Story Kettle-Style Popcorn Popper” or the “Mickey Mouse Popcorn Popper,” so you can have a filled popcorn bucket in the comfort of your home.

We can’t predict the future. Only time will time whether the popcorn bucket frenzy will stay, but we have one question? Disney, will you be bringing a new supply of Figment buckets? We’d really like one to enjoy our weekly movie night! Any news would be appreciated!
