An Iconic Bucket
A brand new popcorn bucket is dropping to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Disney California Adventure Park in Disneyland! This bucket is designed to replicate Pixar Pal-A-Round!
The Pixar Pal-A-Round Bucket is embeded with "magic inside" technology. The bucket actually reacts to select locations in both theme parks, changing color, and lighting patterns that will surprise and delight.
It is truly a first-of-its-kind popcorn bucket! The lighting effects enhance the storytelling of some lands and attractions, as well as amplify select nighttime spectaculars with an extra touch of pixie dust. It will be so fun for Guests to enjoy!

The bucket arrives at select locations in Disneyland on February 6, 2026, while supplies last. And, it is likely they won't last long!
