The festive season at Walt Disney World is always a magical experience, and for 2024, one holiday item has captured the attention of guests, the Mickey and Minnie Gingerbread House Popcorn Bucket. This highly sought-after item is now available at Magic Kingdom, offering a unique holiday-themed souvenir for Disney fans.
Here’s everything you need to know about this seasonal offering, from its availability to where you can get one during your next visit.
A Seasonal Highlight of the 2024 Holidays
The Mickey and Minnie Gingerbread House Popcorn Bucket first made its debut at Disneyland in November 2024, scheduled specifically for the holiday season. It later became available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party at Walt Disney World, starting December 5th. Fans attending the party were quick to secure their popcorn buckets, making it a popular collectible throughout the season.
Following the conclusion of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, these popcorn buckets were made available at select Walt Disney World Resort hotels, including the Grand Floridian, Beach Club, and Contemporary (Bay Lake Tower) resorts, each known for their impressive gingerbread displays. However, they sold out within two days, further increasing their desirability.
Where to Find the Gingerbread Popcorn Bucket
Now that Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party has wrapped up for the year, the remaining popcorn buckets are being sold at Magic Kingdom. Guests can find them at two designated food carts located in the Hub area of the park. While the accompanying signage still features the Christmas Party logo, the bucket is now available to all guests visiting Magic Kingdom.
The price of the Mickey and Minnie Gingerbread House Popcorn Bucket is $29.95, and can be found at two of the carts located in the main hub of the park.

Beyond its functional use as a popcorn bucket, this item has become a must-have for Disney collectibles enthusiasts. The collaboration of festive design and Disney characters ensures it appeals to fans of all ages. Its seasonal availability adds a sense of exclusivity, making it a memorable keepsake for those who managed to snag one during their holiday visit to the parks.
