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.

Why Fans Are Excited
