Be Prepared: Rumored Disney Villains Take Over McDonald's Happy Meals

This could be the Disney McDonald's collab that we have been begging for! What do you think of these designs?

McDonald's Happy Meals

Each Happy Meal includes an entrée with kid-sized World Famous Fries® and apple slices, as well as a drink such as 1% Low Fat Milk Jug, reduced-sugar* chocolate milk, DASANI® Water or Honest Kids® Appley Ever After® Organic Juice Drink. And to sweeten it, the meals include a toy!

While McDonald's only includes one toy per meal, some McDonald's fans have had luck purchasing additional toys à la carte. This may or may not be an option depending on your local store, but it never hurts to ask.

Of course, even kids at heart get excited for a Happy Meal when it features a collectible toy of pure McDonald's nostalgia or a fun Disney

We have seen lots of Disney toys in Happy Meals throughout the years. We have seen toys from the 50th Celebration, Encanto, Raya, Luca, and even attractions.

Of course, 1980's kids remember fondly the McDonald's Boo Buckets. The first Boo Buckets were released to a test audience in 1985. The response was resounding, and in 1986 McDonads released Boo Buckets nationally.

Over the years, Boo Buckets have taken on several designs, but a new rumor has both McDonald's fans and Disney fans excited.

Rumors are now circulating that, in honor of the 40th Anniversary of McDonald's Boo Buckets, there is a new Disney Villain twist. While this is not confirmed by McDonald's, we really hope this is coming to the United States.

There are 5 different villains featured, including Ursula, Cruella De Vil, Maleficent, Scar, and Jafar.

Boo Buckets release at McDonald's on October 20, 2026.

Some have speculated that the Disney Villain Boo Buckets may only be released internationally. We will see when Boo Buckets are officially released on October 20, 2026. Thanks to @addictedtoagooddeal for sharing:
