New Donald Duck 90th Anniversary Disney Munchlings Plush & Popcorn Bucket Now Available at Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World is celebrating Donald Duck’s 90th birthday with a new Disney Munchlings plush and popcorn bucket that depicts the #1 Duck as a delicious bucket of buttery popcorn.

Disney Munchlings Donald Duck 90th Anniversary Popcorn Plush – $34.99

A store display features shelves filled with plush toys resembling popcorn buckets, each with a stuffed animal inside, set against a background of various merchandise and a well-lit wooden interior.

We found the plush for sale in the Emporium at Magic Kingdom.

A plush toy shaped like a popcorn box features a white character with large brown eyes and a beak, topped with a blue hat, on display on a curved wooden shelf.

The plush sees Donald transformed into popcorn, seated inside a red-and-white-striped bucket. His body is white with yellow splotches to represent butter, and his signature blue sailor’s hat is made of an iridescent blue sparkly material.

Plush toy depicting a character with an embroidered letter "B" on a tree trunk and a blue, glittery treetop. The character has a white face, brown eyes, and a yellow beak.

A small brown ribbon hanging off of his hat has “D D 90” embroidered in blue and yellow.

Plush toy shaped like a popcorn character with a red bow tie and a bucket resembling a popcorn container, displayed on a wooden shelf.

The plush can be removed from his bucket, in case you’d rather cuddle the popcorn by itself.

A red and white striped plush with the words "Disney MUNCHLINGS" in blue text, resting on a wooden surface.

The bottom of the bucket features the Disney Munchlings logo printed in blue and white.

Disney Munchlings Donald Duck Popcorn Bucket – $20

People waiting in line at an outdoor ice cream stand beside a food truck on a sunny day.

We spotted this popcorn bucket at the Disney Springs West Side popcorn cart by Starbucks.

A round, cartoonish character's head with white frosting and a red bow sits atop a striped popcorn bucket with a branded lanyard, placed on an outdoor wooden table.

The bucket looks similar to the plush, with Donald as a helping of popcorn inside a red-and-white-striped bucket.

A cute cartoon chicken figurine with a red bow and a popcorn bucket with a red and white striped pattern are placed on a wooden table outdoors. A food truck and flowerbed are in the background.

The popcorn can be kept inside the Donald popcorn body, which is removable from the red bucket.

A hand holding a white pouch decorated with yellow spots and a blue lid resembling a character. A brown tag with a blue character is attached. Blurry outdoor background with flowers and umbrellas.

Just like the plush, a brown ribbon attached to Donald’s sailor hat reads, “D D 90.”

A hand holds an open, white container with blue and yellow accents. The background features a flower bed, outdoor seating, and food trucks.

The bucket opens at Donald’s sailor hat, revealing a popcorn compartment inside.

A person holds an empty red bucket with a patterned strap outdoors, with a food truck, trees, and a flower bed in the background.

The straps of the bucket are attached to the red-and-white-striped bucket.

A hand holds a red and white striped Disney Parks lanyard with popcorn bucket design details. A red container with a similar design is in the background on a wooden surface.

The strap is also red-and-white-striped, and has a repeating pattern of Disney Munchling Donald Duck popcorn buckets. The Disney Parks wordmark is in red and white.

A person holding a red container with the "Disney Munchlings" logo, wearing a white watch, outdoors near a green food truck and purple flowers.

The Disney Munchlings logo is also printed in blue and white on the bottom of the bucket.

BREAKING: Sun Bonnets Get New Costumes for Country Bear Musical Jamboree

Disney has revealed the new costumes that the Sun Bonnets — Bunny, Bubbles, and Beulah — will wear when the reimagined Country Bear Musical Jamboree opens this summer at Magic Kingdom.

Sun Bonnets New Costumes for Country Bear Musical Jamboree

WDW MK Country Bear Musical Jamboree Sun Bonnets New Costumes

In a brand-new video, go behind-the-seams with Sara Landesberg, an Audio-Animatronic Costumer with Disney Live Entertainment who is helping bring these new fabulous looks to life. Sara works coordinating the different teams that come together to create a complete garment, hat, or any item that ends up being center stage for the jamboree — including every single rhinestone that is hand-placed across the big-frills costumes.  

“I help source all the fabrics and components and rhinestones,” Sara explains. “I also work really closely with the patterning team to figure out how we’re actually going to make the garments come together in 3D, and how they’re going to fit the bears, who are all very uniquely shaped and different sizes.”  

And dressing the bears is a little bit harder than just picking up the real ol’ country rhythm, considering that Audio-Animatronics don’t move the same way that humans do.  

“They have lots of repetitive movement, so a lot of times we’ll add gussets or additional pockets of fabric to give them more room to move in those repetitive movements without destroying the costume,” she continues.

The bear trio has found a new look that works for them! So clap your hands and stomp your feet, because Bunny, Bubbles, and Beulah — and the rest of the Country Bears —  are getting ready to put on a new show that pays homage to the Opry-style shows of Nashville. While the Country Bear Musical Jamboree will include easter eggs from the beginning to the end including a familiar tune fans may remember, the bears will sing new, reinterpreted Disney tunes in different genres of country music – like bluegrass, pop-country, Americana, rockabilly, and other styles.
