FIRST LOOK at the NEW Halloween Popcorn Bucket in Disney World

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!

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs on select dates from August 11th through November 1st and is a separately ticketed event, meaning your regular Magic Kingdom ticket won’t be enough to get you in. You’ll need a separate ticket just for the event — and those are selling out so you’ll want to get yours FAST!

At the party, you can check out new snacks, merchandise, and even new photo opportunities. But let’s focus on that popcorn bucket!! We were invited to a media event to check out all things spooky before the Halloween Party officially started. Here, we got to take a look at the all-new popcorn bucket!

Main Street, U.S.A. decorated for Halloween!

This year’s exclusive Not-So-Scary Halloween Party popcorn bucket is again themed to The Nightmare Before Christmas but it features the Mayor’s Car along with Lock, Shock, Barrel, and the Mayor himself! You’ll find it at select locations throughout the park, while supplies last. Note that there is a limit of 2 per guest for this item.

It’s the Mayor’s Car!

This popcorn bucket is cool for SO many reasons. The design is incredibly elaborate, featuring multiple characters, a well-designed car, and even that cat siren on the front!

Hi, Mr. Mayor

Here’s a look at the other side.

It’s so cute!

If you want more Halloween fun, you can pick up the Donald Duck Candy Corn Sipper too! This has been available in the past but has returned for spooky season with some minor color adjustments on Donald’s jack-o’-lantern candy bag.

Hi, Donald!

You’ll find this sipper at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at select locations. But he is set to “materialize” in other Disney parks throughout the Halloween season too (according to Disney).

He’s so cute!
