Typically, when Walt Disney World releases popcorn buckets and novelty sippers, we get a heads-up on their arrival, and they are usually connected to seasonal events, celebrations, and new experiences.
A new popcorn bucket and novelty sipper made its unexpected debut in Animal Kingdom today, featuring some of the most iconic Disney characters. At Mickey Visit, we report on all the recent Disney news, including new military discounts and the food guide for EPCOT’s holiday festival.

These two The Lion King themed buckets join the existing Pumba bucket and Timon Sipper in Animal Kingdom.
We covered these popcorn buckets in our update to the November popcorn buckets at Walt Disney World.
The Timon sipper and Pumba popcorn bucket can be found at quick service locations in the park. It could be that Scar and Ed Hyena may be replacing these, so it’s hard to say how much longer they will be available. Pumba and Timon have been around the parks since summer 2024 as part of The Lion King’s 30th anniversary.
