Every Walt Disney World Popcorn Bucket Available in March 2026 (Plus What’s Coming This Spring)

The Jerrod Maruyama Kawaii Popcorn Bucket (Resort-Wide)

The most widely available popcorn bucket across all four Walt Disney World theme parks right now is the Jerrod Maruyama Kawaii Popcorn Bucket. If you haven’t seen Maruyama’s work before, his signature style takes beloved Disney characters and renders them in a round, expressive, kawaii-inspired art form that’s instantly recognizable.

This bucket packs in an impressive number of characters: Woody and Buzz Lightyear, Crush the sea turtle, Anna and Elsa, Remy from Ratatouille, and many more share space on the design. It also gives a nod to Walt Disney World specifically, with park icons like the Expedition Everest Yeti, a Tower of Terror bellhop, and the three Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion all making appearances. The four iconic park landmarks, Spaceship Earth, the Tree of Life, the Tower of Terror, and Cinderella Castle, complete the design.

The bucket is priced at $14.29 and comes with popcorn included. Refills run $2.75. A matching refillable mug with the same Maruyama artwork is also available if you want to keep the theme going.

This bucket replaced several seasonal releases that have now wrapped up, including the Figment popcorn bucket tied to the EPCOT International Festival of the Arts and the Zootopia 2 buckets. We covered the full launch of this bucket when it first arrived. Read our full breakdown of the Jerrod Maruyama Kawaii Popcorn Bucket here.

EPCOT Popcorn Buckets in March 2026

The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is in full swing right now, running from March 4 through June 1, 2026. The festival itself does not currently offer a dedicated popcorn bucket, so the Maruyama bucket is your only popcorn option inside the park at this time.

That said, there is exciting news for collectors visiting EPCOT this spring. A brand new seasonal bucket is on the way (more on that in the “Coming Soon” section below), and with Easter falling on April 5 this year, the timing suggests it could arrive at the park sooner than in previous years.

Hollywood Studios Popcorn Buckets in March 2026

Hollywood Studios consistently has the widest variety of popcorn buckets and novelty sippers of any park at Walt Disney World, and March 2026 is no exception.

Little Green Men Jetpack Sipper

The Little Green Men Jetpack Sipper from Toy Story is available now at Woody’s Lunchbox for $19.79. The sipper comes with a drink, and the good news for planners is that it can be mobile ordered, which saves time on busy days. We covered this item’s launch alongside the Monsters, Inc. bucket. See our full Pixar popcorn bucket article here.

Monsters, Inc. Scream Canister Popcorn Bucket

One of the most memorable collectibles currently at Hollywood Studios is the Monsters, Inc. Scream Canister Popcorn Bucket, available at popcorn stands throughout the park for $28.00. What makes this one stand out from a standard bucket is the interactive element: it lights up and plays a screaming sound effect, making it one of the more fun and giftable items in the parks right now.

Toy Story Alien Sipper

The classic Toy Story Alien Sipper is also still available at Woody’s Lunchbox for $16.79. This one has been around for a while and tends to stay in rotation year-round, so it’s a reliable option if the other sippers are sold out.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Sippers and Cups

Inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the novelty item offerings rotate regularly. Right now, you can pick up the Bubo Wamba Family Farms Cup at the Milk Stand for $15.29. The BB-8 Sipper is also currently available at ABC Commissary for $16.29, making it a solid pick for Star Wars fans who want something they can take home.

Animal Kingdom Popcorn Buckets in March 2026

Animal Kingdom is home to two Lion King-themed collectibles right now, and they make a great pair for fans of the film. We covered both of these when they launched. Read the full Lion King Popcorn Bucket and Sipper story here.

Scar Popcorn Bucket

The Scar Popcorn Bucket is priced at $26.63 and is one of the more striking collectibles in the parks right now. It features Scar’s signature sinister expression with light-up eyes, and it comes with an adjustable strap. Popcorn is included at the time of purchase. You can find it at Mahindi in Africa, The Feeding Ground in Discovery Island, Chakranadi in Asia, and Trek Snacks in Asia. The limit is two per person per transaction while supplies last.

Ed Hyena Sipper

The Ed Hyena Sipper rounds out the Lion King lineup at Animal Kingdom for $19.48. Ed is shown mid-giggle fit, which makes this one of the more fun character designs currently at any Walt Disney World park. It’s available at The Feeding Ground, Mahindi, Chakranadi, Trek Snacks, and ice cream carts throughout the park.

Coming Soon: Spring 2026 Disney World Popcorn Buckets

This is where things get exciting for collectors planning a spring trip or keeping tabs on upcoming releases. Two major new novelty items have been confirmed for the coming months, and both are worth knowing about now.

Winnie the Pooh and Piglet Spring Popcorn Bucket

This is the one spring collectors have been waiting for. The Winnie the Pooh and Piglet Spring Popcorn Bucket features Pooh dressed in pink bunny ears alongside Piglet, set against a soft pastel color palette with a large Easter egg as the centerpiece of the design. It’s exactly the kind of seasonal collectible that tends to sell out fast.

Disney has officially confirmed this bucket for Disneyland Resort and select Disney Cruise Line ships this spring. Based on how Disney has handled seasonal spring buckets in previous years, with the Thumper spring bucket from 2025 being a recent example, we fully expect this Pooh and Piglet design to arrive at Walt Disney World as well. Given that Easter lands on April 5 this year, which is earlier than usual, it’s reasonable to watch for this bucket to show up at EPCOT popcorn carts closer to the start of the Flower and Garden Festival, possibly in late March.

We first reported on this bucket in February. Read the full story on the Winnie the Pooh Spring Popcorn Bucket here.

Bantha Sipper (Star Wars)

Star Wars fans have something big to look forward to as well. The Bantha Sipper is a novelty drink vessel shaped like one of the iconic, shaggy, horned creatures from the Star Wars universe. Disney has confirmed this sipper for Disneyland Resort and select Disney Cruise Line ships, with a Walt Disney World release also expected.

The timing lines up perfectly with May the Fourth (Star Wars Day, May 4), when Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios tends to receive new exclusive merchandise. If this sipper follows the pattern of other Star Wars novelties, Galaxy’s Edge would be the most likely home for it at Walt Disney World. Keep an eye on the Milk Stand and surrounding carts as May approaches.

Popcorn Bucket Pricing and Refill Guide

For anyone new to collecting Disney popcorn buckets, here’s a quick breakdown of how the pricing typically works at Walt Disney World:

• Standard popcorn buckets like the Maruyama design run around $14.29 and include popcorn.
• Novelty sippers like the Toy Story Alien or Little Green Men Jetpack Sipper range from approximately $16 to $20 and include a drink.
• Premium interactive buckets like the Monsters, Inc. Scream Canister sit closer to $28.
• Popcorn refills at carts across the parks are $2.75 for standard buckets.
• Most limited-edition buckets come with a limit of 2 per person per transaction while supplies last.

Buckets that include special features like lights, sounds, and interactive elements tend to command a higher price and also tend to sell out faster, especially in the first week of availability.
