Several new collectible ornaments inspired by popular popcorn buckets have arrived at Disneyland.
Cinderella’s Coach – $29.99
This light blue ornament is shaped like Cinderella’s pumpkin coach, which was turned into a popcorn bucket in 2015 for the release of the live-action “Cinderella” film. Since that time, the Cinderella’s coach popcorn bucket design has been repeated multiple times in different colors, such as the white 70th Anniversary Wedding Coach bucket and the Disney100 platinum Cinderella Coach premium bucket.
The ornament has the same design of Cinderella peeking out from the coach’s window and shows popcorn sitting in a flap on top of the ornament. The popcorn-like interior will also light-up when the disconnect tab is removed.
Main Street Electrical Parade “Elliott” – $29.99
The Elliott popcorn bucket originated in 2022 with the 50th anniversary of the Main Street Electrical Parade. The ornament is a near exact match to the bucket. The smiling dragon comes with webbed wings and an electric purple mohawk and beard, reflecting the design of the parade float and popcorn bucket.
From the back, Elliott holds waves a lantern with his tail. The entire body is decorated with dots, resembling the lights on the float which is identical to how it was presented on the popcorn bucket. The ornament also features a commemorative lanyard, which features an assortment of parade floats. The bucket came with a lanyard with 50th anniversary logos in addition to the parade floats. The interior popcorn also lights up.
“Toy Story” Alien – $29.99
This “Toy Story” alien-inspired ornament is designed after a passholder-exclusive popcorn bucket released at Disneyland as a part of Pixar Fest in 2018. However, it has been re-released over the years. The little green alien has been released dressed as Buzz Lightyear for a Halloween offering popcorn bucket in addition to several other holiday editions.
The upper portion of the alien’s head flips up to make it appear as though the little guy is opening his mouth, revealing all the popcorn, which lights up as well. The strap features a montage of aliens in different adorable poses. The original bucket featured a similar strap, but it had the former Disneyland AP logo.
R2-D2 – $29.99
Last but not least is an R2-D2 popcorn bucket inspired ornament. The R2-D2 popcorn bucket was released many years ago during Star Wars Weekends at Hollywood Studios. R2-D2’s buttons, lights, and mechanics are represented on the ornament, just as they were on the popcorn bucket.
The blue strap on this ornament features a strap with homage to Star Tours: The Adventure Continues. R2’s head raises up to reveal light-up popcorn.
The collection will also be available online through the Disney Store beginning March 31, 2025.
