Sam Eagle Popcorn Bucket Coming Soon to Walt Disney World
It’s the news we’ve all been waiting for! The Sam Eagle Popcorn Bucket is coming soon to Walt Disney World. You may remember that the popular novelty item was first announced for Disneyland a few weeks back. It is expected to be available at the Disneyland Resort starting June 30th. As of this update, we don’t have an exact date for its release at Walt Disney World. But it should be available sometime between now and the upcoming 4th of July season.
The popcorn bucket features Sam Eagle of The Muppets wearing a red, white, and blue hat resembling the American flag. He is standing at the podium with his wing covering his chest as though he’s about to recite the Pledge of Allegiance or some other patriotic tribute to this great nation. The popcorn bucket features a lanyard with red and white stripes followed by white stars on a dark blue backdrop. The Disney Parks logo is printed on the lanyard. Here’s a preview of the new novelty item.
Per Disney, the Sam Eagle bucket will have a limit of two per person, per transaction. It will be available while supplies last.
Again, this novelty item is coming soon to Walt Disney World. While there are no guarantees as far as location, we typically find new-release popcorn buckets at the snack stands on each side of the Cinderella Castle hub at Magic Kingdom. This option might also be available at Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Don’t be surprised if you find a long line. I imagine this will be a pretty popular option!
