A new dynamic popcorn bucket featuring the Pixar Pal-A-Round Ferris wheel is now available at Disneyland Resort. This bucket celebrates the 25th anniversary of Disney California Adventure.
Pixar Pal-A-Round Popcorn Bucket – $50.99
California Adventure’s signature Ferris wheel inspires this special anniversary popcorn bucket with “pie-eyed” Mickey inside a starburst on the front.
Similarly, the wheel on the bucket swings and has six swinging gondolas as well.
Each of the colorful gondolas features “Pixar Pier” text on the front. The colors are purple, red, green, orange, blue, and yellow.
Characters Mr. Incredibles and Mrs. Incredible are on the red gondola.
Heimlich and Filk are on the green gondola
Dug and Russel are on the orange one. Some slide around while some are stationary.
Mike and Sulley are on the blue gondola.
Wall-E and EVE are on the purple gondola.
The navy strap showcases other attractions around California Adventure with blueprint-style illustrations.
“Magic Inside” Technology
This is also the first popcorn bucket with a new feature known as “Magic Inside” technology which allows the bucket to be interactive throughout Disneyland Park and California Adventure. Almost like MagicBand+ interactivity, the bucket reacts with color and light patterns depending on your park location.
At home, you can still play with the bucket by pressing Mickey’s nose and spinning the wheel to cycle through different lighting effects.
