Theme Park Scope

Disney’s Halloween popcorn buckets are back, and you’re going to need a plan if you want to collect them all.

Halloween season has officially arrived at Walt Disney World, bringing with it a new lineup of collectible popcorn buckets and sippers featuring everything from the Headless Horseman and Haunted Mansion’s Hatbox Ghost to Vampire Mickey, Winnie the Pooh, Stitch, and Pluto.

But there’s a catch: you won’t find all of them in the same place.

Disney has revealed where guests can track down each of its 2026 Halloween novelties, with some available across all four theme parks, others appearing at Disney Springs and the water parks, and two exclusive popcorn buckets requiring admission to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Here’s where you’ll need to go.

Two Halloween Popcorn Buckets Require a Party Ticket

Let’s start with arguably two of the biggest collectibles of the season.

The Headless Horseman Popcorn Bucket and Haunted Mansion Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket are both exclusive to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom.

Guests attending the separately ticketed Halloween event can find both buckets at the popcorn carts near Cinderella Castle.

The Headless Horseman bucket depicts the legendary rider on horseback holding his jack-o’-lantern head, while the Haunted Mansion collectible brings one of the attraction’s most famous residents (the Hatbox Ghost) to life in popcorn bucket form.

Disney is limiting purchases to two of each bucket per person, per transaction, while supplies last.

Most importantly, neither bucket is available during regular Magic Kingdom operating hours. If either one is on your Halloween wish list, you’ll need a valid ticket to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to purchase it.

Vampire Mickey and Winnie the Pooh Don’t Require a Party Ticket

Don’t have tickets to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party? You’re not completely out of luck.

The Vampire Mickey Mouse Popcorn Bucket is available at select popcorn carts across all four Walt Disney World theme parks:

• Magic Kingdom
• EPCOT
• Disney’s Hollywood Studios
• Disney’s Animal Kingdom

That makes Vampire Mickey the easiest of this year’s Halloween collectibles to track down.

Disney’s Winnie the Pooh Hunny Bee Sipper is also available during regular park hours, with guests able to find it at select locations at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Both items are limited to two per person, per transaction, while supplies last.

Stitch and Pluto Are Hiding Outside the Theme Parks

Disney also has a couple of Halloween collectibles that don’t require a theme park ticket at all.

The Stitch Mummy Popcorn Bucket can be found at select locations at Disney Springs, Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, and Disney’s Blizzard Beach.

Meanwhile, the Pluto Skeleton Sipper is available at select locations at Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach.

Both are available while supplies last. Disney has not currently listed a purchase limit for either item.

Pricing for the Stitch Mummy Popcorn Bucket and Pluto Skeleton Sipper has also not yet been confirmed.

As always with Disney’s novelty popcorn buckets and sippers, everything is available while supplies last, so there’s no guarantee a particular collectible will remain available throughout the entire Halloween season.

And if the Headless Horseman or Hatbox Ghost is calling your name, remember that those two are a little trickier — you’ll need to be attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party to add them to your collection.

With Halloween officially underway at Walt Disney World, something tells us these won’t be the last spooky collectibles we’ll be talking about this season.
