The metallic Disney100 purple Mickey Mouse balloon popcorn bucket first released at Disneyland Resort is now available at EPCOT.
Disney100 Purple Mickey Mouse Balloon Bucket – $20
The metallic bucket is shaped like a classic Mickey balloon, like many popcorn buckets released over the past few years. It’s the same blue-ish purple used alongside platinum as the Disney100 colors.
Mickey’s face is pictured in platinum on one side.
“Disney100 Years of Wonder” is in platinum lettering on the opposite side, on the section that opens to put popcorn inside.
The strap is a shiny white with the Disney100 logo and “100 Years of Wonder” printed in purple lettering. Purple stars are between the sets of words.

100 Years of Wonder
Disney’s 100 Years of Wonder (or Disney100 for short) is being celebrated across the world at Disney Parks and Resorts.
The 100 Years of Wonder celebration began at Disneyland Resort with “Wondrous Journeys” at Disneyland and “World of Color – ONE” at Disney California Adventure. There is a platinum Mickey statue (which initially had to be fixed because the Walt Disney quote on the base was incorrect) and a platinum Minnie statue in Disneyland.
Disneyland Resort is offering the “Celebrating Disney100 at the Disneyland Resort” guided tour, including a walk through both parks, the drawing experience at Animation Academy, a digital download of a photo taken in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, a Disney100 snack, reserved parade viewing, and a limited-edition pin.
EPCOT is debuting several Disney100 offerings. A platinum Mickey statue has been installed in World Celebration. At the Magic Eye Theater, guests can meet Mickey and Minnie in their platinum 100th anniversary outfits. At night, Spaceship Earth will light up with a special Disney100 spectacle of light featuring a special rendition of “When You Wish Upon a Star.”
A new mural also in World Celebration will feature 100 Disney characters in the neighborhoods of EPCOT. It will be located along the walkway to World Showcase. The rest of World Celebration will also be decked out with Disney100 platinum banners and other décor.
At night, Spaceship Earth will light up with a special Disney100 spectacle of light featuring a special rendition of “When You Wish Upon a Star.”
Soarin’ Over California has returned to The Land Pavilion for a limited time. An end date for the returning attraction was not announced.
New Global Marketplaces will open as part of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
A new nighttime spectacular, “Luminous: The Symphony of Us,” is scheduled to premiere on December 5. The show was originally supposed to debut for the 100th anniversary in October but was reportedly delayed due to the soundtrack.
