Unearthing the Spookiest Souvenirs: Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket Arriving at MNSSHP 2026
Planning for Disney World’s 2026 spooky season? Check out the new Halloween Party Popcorn Bucket debuting at Magic Kingdom.
Spooky season is officially materializing at Walt Disney World, and theme park merchandise collectors have reason to celebrate! As Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party prepares to kick off its 2026 season on August 7 at Magic Kingdom, Disney has revealed the standout event souvenirs heading to the park. Leading this year’s party merchandise lineup are two event-exclusive novelties: the Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket and the Headless Horseman Sipper.
Exclusive Halloween Party Popcorn Bucket & Sipper
Guests attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will have access to two highly anticipated souvenir collectibles during event hours. If you are looking to secure a Halloween Party Popcorn Bucket or the new drink sipper on select party nights from August 7 through October 31, 2026, you will want to head toward the carts near Cinderella Castle early in the evening before lines build up.
- Hatbox Ghost Popcorn Bucket: After originally debuting at Disneyland, this fan-favorite Haunted Mansion collectible is finally making its way to Walt Disney World. The souvenir features the character’s glowing green face set inside a blue hatbox, complete with a carrying handle and an official Disney Parks lanyard strap.
- Headless Horseman Sipper: Inspired by the iconic figure who leads off Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade each night, this brand-new novelty sipper depicts the infamous rider perched atop his rearing black horse with a flaming jack-o’-lantern held high overhead.
While official Walt Disney World pricing has not yet been confirmed for either item, the Disneyland version of the Hatbox Ghost novelty sold for around $30, so partygoers can anticipate a similar price point for these premium event collectibles.
Party Merchandise Availability & Purchase Guidelines
Because these items are expected to be among the most sought-after party merchandise of the 2026 Halloween season, Disney is implementing strict purchasing guidelines for party guests:
- Party Exclusive: Both souvenir novelties are exclusive to ticket holders during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party event hours.
- Purchase Limits: Transactions are capped at a strict limit of two per person, per transaction while nightly supplies last.
- Locations: In addition to carts near Cinderella Castle, event souvenir novelties will be stocked across select Magic Kingdom locations, including Liberty Square and near the entrance of Storybook Circus.
