The Holiday Train Popcorn Bucket arrives at Disneyland Resort on Friday, November 13, 2026, and it lights up, moves and plays music. At Walt Disney World, the same bucket costs $35.99 and is only sold during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. At Disneyland, it is sold at popcorn carts in both parks, with a limit of two per person. It is one of nine holiday novelties arriving at Disneyland on November 13. See every current bucket in our Disney Popcorn Buckets guide.
The train bucket: Mickey and Pluto ride a red, green and white holiday train. Pluto wears reindeer antlers, and a reindeer with a red bow rides along. It comes with a lanyard. Turn it on, and the train lights up, moves and plays music.
Disney World or Disneyland:
- Walt Disney World: $35.99 at select outdoor carts in Magic Kingdom, starting November 8. You need a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party ticket to buy it.
- Disneyland: Starting November 13. Disney’s list does not tie it to a party ticket. No price yet.
Last year, Disneyland’s two big holiday buckets were $36.99 each, so expect something close to that. Here is what Disneyland sold in our 2025 holiday novelty roundup.
Where to buy the train bucket at Disneyland:
- Disneyland Park: Popcorn carts near Central Plaza, City Hall, Haunted Mansion, Mark Twain Riverboat, Fantasyland Theatre, Star Traders, Chip ‘n’ Dale’s GADGETcoaster and it’s a small world, plus Alien Pizza Planet and Harbour Galley.
- Disney California Adventure: Popcorn at Pixar Pier, Grizzly Peak Airfield and near Carthay Circle Restaurant, plus Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta and Smokejumpers Grill.
- Hotels: The Coffee House at the Disneyland Hotel and the Great Hall cart at the Grand Californian.
Disney says most of the special seasonal novelty release spots only sell it November 13 through 15. The Troubadour Tavern release is only November 13 and 14. Mobile order works at select spots.
The rest of the lineup: Everything starts November 13, while supplies last.

No discounts apply on most items.
Our take: This one is a win for Disneyland fans. At Disney World, you have to buy a Christmas party ticket just to get a shot at the train bucket. At Disneyland, it is at regular popcorn carts. Go early on November 13 if you want one, since the limit is two and some spots only carry it for three days.
