A patriotic Sam Eagle popcorn bucket featuring a stars-and-stripes design is coming to Walt Disney World Resort, though Disney has not yet confirmed the release date or specific locations where guests will be able to purchase it.
The new collectible features the regal blue eagle from the Muppets wearing a stars-and-stripes top hat whilst standing behind a podium adorned with patriotic bunting. Sam Eagle holds his left wing over his heart in a traditional patriotic pose.
Disney has confirmed that guests will be limited to purchasing two Sam Eagle popcorn buckets per person whilst supplies last, though the price has not been announced.
What does the Sam Eagle popcorn bucket look like?
The detailed design shows Sam Eagle in his characteristic stern expression, wearing a patriotic top hat decorated with the stars and stripes pattern. The Muppet character stands behind a small podium that features red, white and blue bunting.
The bucket includes a detachable strap featuring a stars and stripes pattern along with the Disney Parks wordmark, allowing guests to carry it hands-free around the parks.
When will the patriotic Sam Eagle popcorn bucket be available at Walt Disney World?
Disney has not confirmed the exact release date for the Sam Eagle popcorn bucket Walt Disney World launch. The company has also not announced which specific locations across the resort will stock the new collectible.
The same Sam Eagle popcorn bucket is scheduled to launch at Disneyland Resort on 30th June. Disney had originally planned to release the bucket at Disneyland in May, but that launch was delayed.
Where can guests buy the Muppets Sam Eagle bucket at Disney World?
Disney has confirmed the stars and stripes popcorn bucket Disney Parks will be available somewhere within Walt Disney World Resort, but specific selling locations remain unconfirmed. Popcorn buckets are typically sold at various popcorn stands throughout all four theme parks and Disney Springs.
Given the purchase limit of two per person and the "whilst supplies last" restriction, the Sam Eagle bucket appears likely to be a limited-time offering similar to other collectible popcorn buckets that have proven popular with Disney Parks guests.
The release adds to Disney's collection of character-themed popcorn containers, though it remains unclear whether this patriotic design is connected to any specific celebration or anniversary event at the resort.
