Disney fans, get ready to pop into action. A brand-new Zootopia popcorn bucket is debuting at Disney’s Animal Kingdom this Friday, November 7, 2025, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the cutest collectibles of the season. This limited-release bucket celebrates the world of Zootopia and arrives alongside the park’s brand-new 4D attraction, Zootopia: Better Zoogether!, opening the same day inside the Tree of Life Theater.
A Bucket Straight from the World of Zootopia
The new popcorn bucket features Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde cruising together in their iconic three-wheeled police vehicle. it comes complete with movie-accurate details, a lift-top compartment for popcorn, and a themed strap for easy carrying around the park. It’s a design that feels straight out of the streets of Zootopia, combining Disney’s flair for detail with fan-favorite characters that have been missing from Walt Disney World for far too long.
Where to Find the Zootopia Popcorn Bucket
Guests can pick up the new popcorn bucket at several snack locations across Animal Kingdom, including:
- Trek Snacks (near Discovery Island)
- Mahindi Popcorn stand in Africa
- Chakranadi Popcorn in Asia
Quantities are expected to be limited, and given the excitement around both the new Zootopia attraction and the bucket’s debut, early risers will have the best chance of scoring one before they sell out.
Zootopia-Inspired Snacks and Beverages
Walt Disney World also revealed several news snacks andd beverages to be sold at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. These include:

Why Fans Are Excited
Disney’s popcorn buckets have become a full-blown fandom phenomenon, with collectors lining up for limited designs themed to films and attractions. The Zootopia popcorn bucket continues that tradition. However, this time, it doubles as the first Zootopia-themed collectible to launch at Walt Disney World. With the release timed perfectly to the new Zootopia 4D show, it’s clear that Disney is going all-in on immersing guests in the film’s world — from attraction to snack stand.
Pricing and Availability
Disney has not yet confirmed an official price, but similar character buckets typically retail between $20–$30, with discounted popcorn refills available throughout the park.

Fans are encouraged to grab one early just in case this is a one-weekend-only event.
