Calling It Now: This NEW EPCOT Festival of the Arts Popcorn Bucket Is Gonna Go VIRAL

Disney just released this year’s Figment popcorn bucket design for the upcoming EPCOT Festival of the Arts and it’s just as wacky as you can imagine!

We’ve been on the edge of our seats in anticipation of any kind of announcements about the upcoming EPCOT festival, a sneak peek of the foods we’ll find, and any other merchandise we’ll be eyeing to pick up on opening day. Now, Disney’s just revealed a first look at one of the most anticipated merchandise items you’ll find at the festival and we have to admit we’re very impressed!

If you’ve ever taken a ride on Journey Into Imagination with Figment and wanted to take home your own version of the curious purple dragon with orange wings full of spunk and imagination, you’ll get your chance soon!

Disney just teased the design for this year’s upcoming Figment popcorn bucket design featuring the icon sitting atop a large lightbulb (with a pullstring)!

Taking a look at the inside of it, you’ll find the compartment for the multicolored candy-coated popcorn inside of the clear lightbulb and when the sunlight fades is the perfect time to try out that pull-string to make it light up!

If you’re wondering how soon you’ll be able to snag one for yourself, you’ll see these little guys make their debut on the festival opening day, starting on Friday, January 17th. But we’ve got to warn you: We’ve seen these popcorn buckets sell out, so you’ll want to be sure you’re quick about picking one up.

Figment popcorn bucket designs have been super popular as they’re exclusive to EPCOT’s short festival and have been known to draw in the crowds willing to wait hours just for a chance at picking these little guys up.

However, in the most recent years, Disney has moved to a virtual queue process for those looking to snag a popcorn bucket to take home of their own which significantly cut down on the lines to wait in to pick up your bucket.

We can’t get over how cute this new debuting design looks and we’re just as eager to get our hands on this new design as we have been in the years past (especially now that it’s even more interactive).

We’ll be bringing you along for all the fun and festivities on the opening day of EPCOT’s Festival of the Arts! Make sure you’re following along with us at AllEars for the latest updates as we count down to opening day.
