NEW Guardians of the Galaxy Disney Skyliner Popcorn Bucket. We got our hands on the newest Disney Popcorn bucket to come to Walt Disney World. This is now the third Disney Skyliner bucket to be released. The first two are a red one featuring the Fab 5, and more recently a yellow 50th-anniversary bucket.

“These new popcorn buckets are out of this world! Starting April 17, you’ll be able to bring your favorite Guardians of the Galaxy along with you on your own foodie adventures with this new Premium Skyliner Bucket. Get yours at any of the popcorn carts throughout EPCOT!”

The new bucket has three sides with characters on them, Rocket and Groot, Cosmo the Space-Dog and Yondu, and finally Star-Lord and Gamora share the scene.

The Skyliner popcorn bucket is only available at Epcot Popcorn Stands right now. Normally, these Skyliner buckers are sold at Hollywood Studios also, but no word on if they will be available in the future.

We will recommend going to the Canada pavilion and getting the bucket filled with the maple popcorn flavor.
