Crazy Line for Adorable Bambi-Themed Popcorn Bucket at EPCOT

by

Disney has made a splash in the popcorn bucket business with some exceptional offerings, not just through their 2025 movie releases, but also with items like Captain America shields and Snow White concession collectables available for purchase. However, it’s worth noting that when it comes to this new niche of merchandise, Disney Parks still stands out with some truly impressive pieces.

Recently, there’s been a lot of excitement about two things: the glowing Death Star set to be unveiled during Star Wars: Season of the Force, and Disneyland’s “‘90s Nite” bucket inspired by A Goofy Movie. Those sound fantastic, but it’s the Bambi-themed version that has truly captivated me.

As Easter approaches, it’s likely that the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival (which is ongoing until June 2nd) will feature Thumper being represented through a merchandise item available at a snack cart. However, before you think I’m overly enthusiastic about this, consider the buzz this popcorn bucket has created, as you can see in the video below:

According to Disney for Foodies‘ reporting, $24 at EPCOT, plus tax, nabs you this latest popcorn vessel of maximum adorability. But don’t get down in the mouth if you’re a Mouseketeer based on the West Coast, as Bambi’s “true hero” is also available for procurement at the Disneyland Resort. However, WDWNT has that location’s pricing at the slightly different figure of $33.50, again, plus tax. Also, there’s with no word on if the Anaheim-based amusement park has endured such crazy lines of its own.

As a devoted fan, I must admit, this Thumper bucket resonates deeply with me, being one of my cherished Disney characters. For those of you who are parents with a Disney+ subscription, I’m confident you’ll concur – there’s a high likelihood that your little ones have been immersed in animation masterpieces like Bambi, instilling them with an appreciation for the roots of animation and the rich emotional tapestry it offers.

Looking for a way to revisit some classic Disney tales? For as low as $10.99 a month (with ads), or $19.99 ad-free, you can grab the Disney+/Hulu Bundle! If, like me, you’ve been missing out on sharing Disney gems such as the original ‘Bambi’ with your little ones, then this is just what the doctor ordered to rectify that cultural oversight. But remember, these timeless tales might be too intense for solo viewings by the kiddos, so keep an eye on them! Check out the deal now.

Although I might hesitate to stand in a line reminiscent of Figment’s for seven hours to secure this lively sage rabbit, I would make an effort to arrive well before opening to be at the front of the line. To be honest, the only scenario that would deter me from spending my time waiting to acquire this Easter character for my Thumper collection would be an exclusive tour of Tron: Lightcycle/Run. However, even with such an offer, I’d need to give it serious consideration.

If you’re among those who waited in the long line at EPCOT for a Thumper popcorn bucket, rest assured I’m not doubting your decision-making skills. Admittedly, I might ponder over why you chose to spend such a day, which is supposed to be magical, on this particular activity. Nevertheless, you have an edge because you’re at a Disney Park, while I most certainly am not.

For those fretting about this delightful visual snack running out, let’s recall how Figment’s sell-out period led to a restock. Given Bambi’s beloved friend might generate revenue, there’s a strong chance we could see more of this irresistibly adorable bunny!

Hey there! If you happen to be from Disney Parks reading this, here’s an idea that might tickle your fancy. I’d be more than happy to don the Thumper costume for a day if it means adding this stunning beauty to my collection. As someone who’s spent time hopping around as the Easter Bunny, I can assure you I’ll quickly get the hang of things!
