Get ready for a magical celebration! Disney is marking two monumental anniversaries with a special treat for Magic Key holders. A pair of exclusive, refillable popcorn buckets, each with a unique design, will commemorate the 25th anniversary of Disney California Adventure and the 70th anniversary of Disneyland Resort.
Let's dive into the details of these collector's items!
Disneyland 70th Anniversary Refillable Popcorn Bucket
Priced at $15.25, this bucket is a celebration of Disneyland's rich history. With a Fantasyland-inspired design, it features a cream background adorned with light blue fleur de lis icons, creating a subtle yet elegant look. The green color scheme, a departure from the purple cooler bag released last year, adds a fresh twist. The top stripe showcases a repeating pattern of gold crowns, flanked by vibrant blue and green flourishes, along with pink shields representing iconic attractions like Space Mountain and the Matterhorn.
On one side, you'll find a stylized image of Sleeping Beauty Castle, with the Matterhorn in the background, enclosed in an oval frame decorated with geometric greenery. The Disneyland logo stretches across a blue banner at the bottom, while the shield at the top proudly displays "D70". Heralds flank the frame, adding a touch of regal charm.
Another side showcases the Magic Key and Disneyland Resort logos in light green, along with a medieval-inspired crest featuring the Disneyland "D" and lions. The final side features a retro Sleeping Beauty Castle icon alongside the vintage Disneyland wordmark, with a blue "70" shield, completing the nostalgic look.
The handle and lid are crafted in gold, with an embossed Mickey icon on the lid, adding a touch of Disney magic.
Disney California Adventure 25th Anniversary Refillable Popcorn Bucket
Also priced at $15.25, this bucket celebrates the silver anniversary of Disney California Adventure. With a shimmery navy base and holographic silver accents, it's a true eye-catcher. The front showcases Minnie and Mickey in their colorful California Adventure anniversary outfits, posing on either side of a graphic that reads "25 Years". The Magic Key and Disneyland Resort logos are prominently displayed above, while the Disney California Adventure logo takes center stage below.
The bucket features blueprint-style illustrations of various California Adventure icons and attractions in holographic silver, including San Fransokyo Square's bridge, Grizzly Peak, the sun icon from the former Sunshine Plaza, Soarin', Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission BREAKOUT!, Incredicoaster, Pixar Pal-a-Round, Cozy Cone Motel, the entrance plaza, and Carthay Circle. These detailed illustrations add a touch of whimsy and nostalgia.
The handle and lid are silver, with an embossed Mickey icon on the lid, mirroring the design of the Disneyland bucket.
Refillable Fun and Longevity
Both buckets include regular popcorn at the time of purchase, and Magic Key holders can enjoy $2.25 refills through February 24, 2026, at any popcorn cart in either park. This means you can use these buckets throughout the upcoming Lunar New Year Celebration at California Adventure, making them a practical and long-lasting addition to your Disney collection.
But here's where it gets controversial... Should these buckets be considered mere souvenirs, or are they functional items that can enhance your Disney park experience? Do they add value beyond their initial purchase price? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
