It looks like Disney Villains will descend upon McDonald’s Boo Buckets for 2026, with a unique bucket design for each of the following Villains from Walt Disney Animation Studios films:
- Green bucket with Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty
- Red bucket with Jafar from Aladdin
- Orange bucket with Scar from The Lion King
- White bucket with Cruella De Vil from One Hundred and One Dalmatians
- Purple bucket with Ursula from The Little Mermaid
Each Boo Bucket will come with a pack of stickers related to the Villain and their respective movie’s hero.
The restaurant hasn’t officially revealed the Disney Villains Boo Bucket campaign. Katie Noyés, a McDonald’s manager, shared the photo above to the McDonald’s Collectors Facebook group. McFranchisee on X, a McDonald’s franchisee, seemingly corroborated the information as real, though their profile bio emphasizes they don’t speak on behalf of McDonald’s.
While some had initially reported that this was just coming to Brazil, the reports below seem to confirm that this is coming as the Happy Meal Boo Buckets for October 2026.
Since other operators have posted about this & the info is out, my handcuffs are off.
I am so pumped for our Boo Buckets this year. Corp did a great job using our Disney partnership for this collab.
Which Villain are you? 🦹
What do you want to see next year?

Snackolator on X reported that the Disney Villains Boo Buckets will launch on October 20.
McDonald’s is bringing DISNEY BOO BUCKETS this year and they’re Villains themed! 😮
Dropping October 20th are five Disney Boo Buckets that all come with sticker sheets featuring Disney characters and McDonald’s themed items.
They’ve got Ursula, Maleficent, Scar, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil.
Are you excited for the new Boo Buckets or would you prefer the ‘generic’ Halloween designs?
