Fans Have Mixed Reactions to the New Figment Popcorn Bucket

Disney fans have high hopes each year for the Festival of the Arts Figment popcorn bucket, but this year...we'll let you decide if this will be a need or an easy pass.

Disney Popcorn Buckets

Disney Parks has been serving popcorn to Guests since the opening of Disneyland Park! The simple plastic popcorn buckets were first introduced at Disney Parks in the '90s.

The first character popcorn bucket was a Mickey Mouse Ghost bucket, which debuted in 2010.

This Mickey Mouse Ghost Popcorn Bucket paved the way for all the fun character buckets that followed. These have included Star Wars characters, Figment, the Skyliner, and so much more. 

New Figment Popcorn Bucket

Disney first introduced the Figment popcorn bucket for the Festival of the Arts in 2022. Guests waited hours for this first bucket, and it sold out constantly during the festival.

Since then, every year Disney has created a new Figment popcorn bucket for the International Festival of the Arts.

This year, they have revived the first popular Figment character popcorn bucket, but also added a few artistic accessories such as the paintbrush, bow tie, and beret (as pictured above).
