New Disneyland Popcorn Bucket for Magic Key Holders
Disneyland has revealed a special new popcorn bucket for Magic Key holders inspired by King Arthur Carrousel! The bucket, designed by Disney artist Ashley Taylor, spins, lights up, and plays music.
This will be available beginning May 14, 2026, while supplies last, at select popcorn carts throughout Disneyland Park. We expect that this will sell out extremely quickly, and you can expect massive demand upon its debut. There is a limit of one Magic Key King Arthur Carrousel Popcorn Bucket per Magic Key holder, per transaction.

The closest thing to this that we recently got was the viral Pixar Pal-A-Round Bucket, which featured changing color and lighting patterns. This bucket went viral upon its release and sold out. Popcorn buckets with special effects are always especially popular for collectors, as they make for great items to display at home.
There was a similar popcorn bucket available previously at Magic Kingdom for their version of the attraction, the Price Charming Regal Carrousel. This was extremely popular upon its release! See the video that Disney Eats shared on Instagram showing the motion of the bucket and the music it plays. This version played “A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes.” We assume that the Disneyland version will be very similar to this.
