Mickey Pumpkin Popcorn Buckets

[Laura's Dad]

We are traveling to WDW in September to do the Food and Wine Festival and MNSSHP. My wife really wants to get one of the Mickey Pumpkin popcorn buckets that are available at the Halloween Party. We are entering the park at 4:00 with our party tickets.

1. Can you get the popcorn buckets at 4 pm with a party wristband?

2. Where are the locations where they will be available?

We currently have a FP for Big Thunder Mountain at 3:30-4:30 and want to see the new Muppet Show at 4:15. Any help would be appreciated.

I went to the first party on Aug. 25th. I was very disappointed they were sold out by the middle of the party. I would try to get it asap. Going back this Friday and I plan to buy one as soon as I see it available.

I don't see why you couldn't get one right when you get in at 4pm, especially with a wristband. I'd get to a popcorn stand as soon as you can since on the first night of the party they sold out really early already. Their a hot item

We will be attending MNSSHP later this month. One of the priorities for the evening is to obtain a Mickey Halloween Souvenier Popcorn Bucket that are available at the popcorn stands in the Magic Kingdom on Halloween Party nights. I have two questions that I hope someone can answer:

1. Are the popcorn buckets available at 4 pm (when we will be entering the park) or at 7 pm (when the party officially begins)?

2. Are they available at all locations or just certain places?

Any help would be appreciated.

When I went to the 2nd party, they weren't available until 7. A guy showed up with a big bag of them about 10 min before. I bought mine at the popcorn cart near the circus area of Fantasyland. I asked before 7 if that cart would have them and the CM said they would. I kind of assume since they had them, all carts had them. I was afraid that I'd have to go to MAin Street. There was a small line of people right at 7 buying them.

That part of the park was also a good place to start Trick or Treating. The meet & greet tent had two sides, three buckets of candy on each side. And not a lot of guests waiting.

We were at the Sept 7 party and they didn't have them. We talked to a CM at a popcorn cart and he said just be hanging around here at about 6:50 as that is when they will be dropped off. We waited and then he radioed someone who told him they weren't going to be available that night. No real explanation why but another CM at a different popcorn cart told us it was due to low numbers of the buckets.

I was also at the party on the 7th and was hoping to purchase one of the popcorn buckets. Various cast members told me they were unavailable because the trucks carrying them had been halted due to Irma.

We went to the party on 8/29. Did not see the mickey pumpkin buckets available before 7. We waited for a few meet and greets, and by the time I made it the fantasy land popcorn stand they were sold out. Also sold out in the hub. The CM in fantasy land suggested to check the tomorrow land stand...and they had them there! My son asked how many she had, since we'd been unable to find them. She said she had at least 20 and hadn't been busy at all. So, if your plans take you to tomorrow land, I'd check there. It was probably 9pm or after when we bought ours. Good luck! They are cute!
