Disney’s Animal Kingdom has introduced two new novelty items for fans of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ The Lion King. A popcorn bucket modeled after the villainous Scar and a beverage sipper designed to look like his hyena sidekick, Ed, are now available at the park. These new collectibles offer a detailed and functional way for guests to enjoy their snacks and drinks while celebrating some of the film’s most memorable characters.
This article will provide a detailed look at the new Scar Popcorn Bucket and Ed Hyena Sipper, including their design features, what they come with, and where you can find them throughout Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Availability and Purchase Locations
Both the Scar Bucket and the Ed Hyena Sipper were released on November 14, 2025, and are available while supplies last. A purchase limit of two per person, per transaction, is in effect for both items.
Scar Bucket
The new Scar Bucket is designed to capture the character’s menacing presence. The bucket is a sculpted representation of Scar’s head, complete with his signature scar over his left eye and a sinister expression. A key feature of this item is the light-up eyes, which can be activated to give the bucket a more striking and villainous appearance, especially in low-light conditions.
You can find the Scar Bucket at the following popcorn locations within Disney’s Animal Kingdom:
- Mahindi in Africa
- The Feeding Ground in Discovery Island
- Chakranadi in Asia
- Trek Snacks in Asia
Ed Hyena Sipper
Accompanying the Scar bucket is the Ed Hyena Sipper. This beverage container is modeled after the perpetually laughing hyena, Ed. The sipper captures one of Ed’s signature unhinged, wide-eyed expressions, complete with his tongue hanging out. The design is playful and full of character, offering a humorous contrast to the more serious Scar bucket.
The Ed Hyena Sipper is available at a wider range of locations, including beverage and ice cream carts:
- The Feeding Ground in Discovery Island
- Mahindi in Africa
- Chakranadi in Asia
- Trek Snacks in Asia
- Various ice cream and beverage carts throughout the park
Conclusion
The release of the Scar Popcorn Bucket and Ed Hyena Sipper adds two more character-driven novelty items to the lineup at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. With their detailed designs and functional features, these items appeal to fans of The Lion King, collectors, and guests simply looking for a fun way to enjoy their park snacks. The light-up eyes of the Scar bucket and the expressive silliness of the Ed sipper make them distinct collectibles.
If you’re planning a visit to the park, you can find these new novelties at the specified locations for a limited time.
