A “Kingdom of Cute” for Your Kitchen: New Jerrod Maruyama Popcorn Bucket Debuts at Disney World
If you’re a fan of all things “kawaii” and happen to be strolling through EPCOT this season, your snack game just got a major upgrade. A brand-new Jerrod Maruyama Refillable Popcorn Bucket has officially landed, bringing the artist’s signature whimsical style to the ultimate Disney Parks souvenir.
Maruyama, a celebrated freelance illustrator renowned for his “Kingdom of Cute” aesthetic, is one of the featured artists appearing at the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts. This latest release perfectly captures the soft, cheery, and stylized character designs that have made his work a staple for Disney collectors.

The wrap-around design is a “greatest hits” of Disney Parks magic, blending beloved characters with iconic snacks and attractions. Fans of Maruyama’s work will recognize his trademark rounded edges and expressive, “chibi-style” faces.

Keep an eye out for these featured designs on the bucket:
- Park Icons: The Hollywood Tower Hotel and the ever-mischievous Figment.
- Fan-Favorite Characters: Moana, Elsa, Orange Bird, and various friends from Toy Story.
- The Foodies: It wouldn’t be a Maruyama piece without the treats! Look for the Mickey pretzel, the Mickey waffle, and the legendary DOLE Whip.

Beyond the aesthetics, this bucket is a practical piece of festival history. Whether you’re a hardcore “Bucket Brigade” collector or just looking for a cute way to snack while watching the festival performances, this collaboration is a standout.
Because it’s tied to the 2026 Festival of the Arts, these tend to move quickly. If you’re heading to the parks soon, you’ll likely find these at popcorn carts throughout EPCOT and potentially at select locations in the other three parks.
