Disneyland Quietly Reveals New Popcorn Bucket and Menu Changes at Popular Restaurant

Disneyland regularly refreshes menus throughout its theme parks, resort hotels, and dining areas due to the vast number of locations across the property. We monitor these changes closely so you can quickly identify which updates might impact the restaurants on your itinerary or your favorite menu items. See last week’s menu changes here.

This week’s dining changes include new menu items at Lamplight Lounge and more fan favorite restaurants. Over at Disneyland, we got an update on Star Wars popcorn buckets, including the reveal of a new popcorn bucket featuring a popular character that was just quietly revealed. Mickey Visit brings you the latest Disney news and planning resources, including an update on Disneyland hours plus the newest changes happening at Disney World in May.

The changes over at Disneyland feature an update on which Star Wars popcorn buckets are sold out. Plus, we got a reveal that a BDX droid popcorn bucket is coming soon! Disney has not announced these anywhere.

The new bucket is based on the BDX droids that were created by Walt Disney Imagineering as part of an ongoing robotics program. This is part of Disney’s ongoing efforts to change how characters appear in the theme parks. The same team led the creation of the Olaf robotic figure. Now, we are getting a popcorn bucket of the new droids. No visual of the new bucket has been revealed yet, but we now have the detail on when the bucket will be available.
