New Electric Light Parade popcorn bucket and sipper! You thought the Figment stuff was nuts?

I agree - it's going to be insane! Which makes me sad since I live up here in Nor Cal and can't just pop over to the parks on multiple days to try my luck😢. Fingers crossed that they are available on one of my June dates!
 
I'll definitely need to try for one of those snail sippers. The dragon popcorn bucket is adorable, too! I wonder how fast it will take for them to sell out.
 

What we learned from the Figment mess at WDW was that they need mobile order and avoid people waiting in line for 6 hours. They did it for the pass holder magnets and it works.

We also learned that the Figment buckets came back. Sold out but it wasn't forever.

Hopefully Disney learned from the figment madness and will use mobile ordering..

Hopefully not, actually. This would just inconvenience everyone who DOESN'T want one of these and just wants to get food.

The best option is opening up carts that JUST sell these buckets and nothing else. Give people a voucher to pick up the popcorn or drink elsewhere.

My understanding is that is what they did for the Figment bucket when they switched it to a mobile order- buckets were picked up at a designated location separate from food.
 
I don't trust Disneyland to do something that smart.
Yeah, me either...but I think those of us saying we hoped they learned something from Figment and did mobile order meant we were hoping for a process like that, not one that would cause more food mobile order chaos than there already is at DLR. But yeah, it's probably all wishful thinking.

I agree with your original point to wait as the best plan- it does say available throughout the summer (and the wording makes me wonder if they will even be available next week or aren't expected until actual summer...).

I had thought about them not actually being available right away. I imagine they have SOME in stock now, because if they didn't, they'd add the disclaimer that they'd be available "at a later date." I'm willing to bet that they don't have very many, though, and know they will receive more in the coming months.

Oh, and also "they" don't pay attention to what goes on at WDW, nor the other way around. The parks are managed by different teams, completely separate from each other. This is why things are so different across the 2 properties (DL usually does things better, though, so we can hope).

That's what WDW did.. they moved to mobile order AND moved them to their own location. It was like a building just lined with them lol. I worry DL doesn't have the space tho. Is that starwars building still empty?

We'll be there last week of May so hoping they'll be in stock... I need them both so so so bad. I'm a sucker for the novelty sippers and popcorn buckets. Oh heck, I'm just a sucker... they always get all my money when it comes to merch. :rotfl2:

Well the Mummy Mickey bucket it was handled poorly I think - it was so random and there was never any consistency.
