NEW Pixar Pal-A-Round Bucket Swinging Into Disneyland Resort

Celebrate 25 Years of DCA with the New Pixar Pal-A-Round Popcorn Bucket

Get ready to elevate your popcorn game! As part of the grand celebration for Disney California Adventure’s 25th Anniversary, Disneyland Resort has unveiled a groundbreaking new souvenir that is sure to be the “wheel” deal for collectors.

Introducing the Pixar Pal-A-Round Popcorn Bucket—a stunning tribute to the park’s iconic eccentric wheel that brings a literal glow to your park day.

This isn’t your average plastic pail. This bucket is the first of its kind to feature embedded “Magic Inside” technology. This interactive tech allows the bucket to communicate with the environment around you in real-time.

As you journey through both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, your bucket will:

• React to Lands: Change colors and light patterns as you enter specific themed areas.
• Sync with Attractions: Feature unique lighting effects that enhance the storytelling of select rides.
• Amplify Nighttime Spectaculars: Pulse and glow in sync with Disney’s famous fireworks and water shows, adding an extra touch of “pixie dust” to your viewing experience.

Oh, and just like the real landmark, the bucket is modeled with incredible detail, capturing the swinging gondolas and the smiling face of Mickey Mouse!

The Pixar Pal-A-Round Bucket officially “swings” into the resort on February 6, 2026. Given the 25th-anniversary hype and the brand-new tech, these will likely move fast.

Mobile Order (February 6–8 ONLY): For the first three days, your best bet is using the Disneyland App to Mobile Order at these locations:

• Hollywood Lounge (Seasonal Novelty Release)
• Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta (Seasonal Novelty Release)
• Popcorn at Grizzly Peak Airfield

In-Person Locations (Starting Feb 6):

• Fairfax Market
• Mortimer’s Market
• Select Popcorn and Outdoor Vending Carts throughout Disney California Adventure.

This release is just one of many “surprises and delights” planned for the DCA 25th anniversary. Whether you’re a local regular or a first-time visitor, this bucket is the perfect high-tech way to commemorate a quarter-century of California-inspired magic.
