If you were a real flavored popcorn fan you would have those little popcorn eating tongs they sell in tokyo
I was waiting for my Figment Spork so I could eat like a proper gentleman.
Japan's popcorn bucket's are so awesome. Not just Disney, but even Universal is so amazing
Yeah, they had one for Lupin III that's so cool.
The Nezuko popcorn bucket had a long line when it debuted on Universal Studios Japan.
Omg yes! An sooo many, literally every vendor had a different collectable bucket- I got the Boat from Steamboat Willie! But I saw like Full sized BB-8’s, Tangled Lanterns that light up… so many!!
you took the words right out of my mouth
But lest we forget that not only are their buckets amazing, their actual POPCORN game is NEXT LEVEL!!!!!! Im still trying to replicate that curry popcorn! it's just perfection!!!!!!
If you cover the popcorn buckets, you HAVE to do a disturbingly deep dive into the history of weird Disney on Ice snowcone cups. THEY CUT NEMO'S HEAD OPEN.
Bwahahahaha I KNOWWWWW
@@DistoryDanlol
If people love figment so much they could just get a plush as well. Which is cuter and has more long term sentimental value than a bucket. I never understood why plushes were never hyped up like the buckets.
Agreed
They’re not talked about often, but the crowds at Epcot are absolutely flooded with those little magnet shoulder Figments. They’re incredibly adorable and even folks who aren’t familiar with Figment are infatuated with these things. I’ve even seen people dress them up in nuiMo clothes.
@@StrawberryCelebi the Figment plushes can fit in nuiMO clothes?! How's it possible?
@@christiandacanay3086 NuiMOs are only about an inch shorter than the Figment shoulder plush. Not all the clothes fit, but a lot of them look very cute on him!
the inside doesn't have to be just popcorn. i would totally use it for dry cereal.
I totally agree with Disney Dan about ebay. I had to wait for a year for a 2019 Mickey and Minnie gingerbread headband. In January 2020, it was $100 and then in September 2020, it was $12.00.
I agree as well. Disney Parks make very few items available online, particularly limited edition items (pins anyone?). If I don't live near a Disney theme park there is no way for me to get this merchandise other than ebay. And, my time is also worth so much more to me. I don't think I would wait 8 hours to nuy a popcorn bucket, but I would pay someone else a reasonable price to save me time.
I’ve had to do that as well for some of the pins. Most of the time they drop back to retail prices so it’s worth waiting
All this popcorn bucket hype makes it feel appropriate to finally reveal one of my greatest disney possessions is a white and blue annual pass holder popcorn bucket from a few years ago. Key features being that it was white and plastic, meaning it was incredibly easy for me to use a bit of white out to make myself a custom "Annual Assholder" popcorn bucket, that sits proudly in my room to this day. It feels even more special now that the program no longer has that name. This is my only popcorn bucket discourse contribution and it's incredibly lame. Loved those free refills though, memories.
😂
"'Annual -assholder'" What does that mean? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?
@@lastchanc3stars I don't know! It doesn't make sense, but it's funny!
Dan, you put popcorn in your hand-made Figment puppet. Popcorn being put in a plastic foot does NOT sound all that crazy after that. XD Great video, saw the Offhand Disney video yesterday and began wondering when this video would come out. Here’s hoping Disney takes all the chaos as a sign that we need more Figment.
That reminds me of the Rosalina Amiibo... I'm a Nintendo fan, I collect amiibo figures, and Rosalina was Target exclusive, so people stormed it, and instead of the usual $12-$20, they were up on ebay for like $100... I still don't have one. But at least with Disney, they seem to be more aware of that aspect.
I actually don't remember popcorn buckets when I went there, but I'm in Canada, so only went there once like 10 years ago, and didn't have room in my suitcase to bring anything home.
I’ve been buying Disney and movie theater popcorn buckets for 20 years. I don’t even eat popcorn at home but dammit, I love these buckets on a shelf. It’s funny that you mentioned the Mickey mummy buckets because if you go to the Disney outlet store at the Vineland outlets (Orlando), they have a huge overstock of those buckets right now. I think they’re like $15.
It was definitely a wild first day with figment! lol
Omg I love your vids
I was one of the crazy people that did wait in line for figment bucket. Not for resale but for my own pleasure. Figment is one of my favorite characters, but I do also have several of the other buckets. This is the first one that I had to stand in line for. I am going back to the park next week to enjoy the Festival of the Arts.
Dan’s like “I’m going to give the people Everything they Want… and what they want… is popcorn buckets apparently?”
The popcorn lore runs deep
Came for popcorn
Stayed for Figment
On a related tangent , you might be interested in the current hysteria surrounding Duffy’s new friend Lina Bell at Shanghai Disneyland. 18 hour queues and a bit of scalping is nothing compared to what’s been going on there.
The thing that upsets me is I had all these popcorn buckets from 1998-2002 from Paris and My dad and I were using them to store things in the shed, and I had no idea they’d become so collectible 😂 however the shed never looked so magical 😂
I didn't even realize Disney popcorn buckets were a thing until a few years ago when my friend was telling me about how she tried to buy me an Oogie Boogie one, buy they were strictly enforcing the purchase limit lmao
I’m gonna say it. If they make a little orange bird popcorn bucket I will RIOT!!
I’m gonna cry if that happens Figment is big but Orange Bird is HUGE and will have the worst ebay reselling for sure
@WhenTheChipsAreDown it was there through food and garden at least last year-I picked up one for my mom! (And the drink in it was delicious)
Do I like popcorn? Yes. Do I like Figment? Yes! Do I like this video? Absolutely! Well done on doing this video. It's Poptastic!
This reminds me of when Universal Studios Japan released a limited edition Mechagodzilla popcorn bucket to coincide with the Godzilla Vs Evangelion ride in 2019. I was lucky enough to be visiting Japan at the time and I went to USJ where I was able to pick up one of them. There was a pretty sizable line and in just a couple hours of the park opening they were all sold out for the day. That was definitely my first experience of popcorn buckets being a hot commodity!
I have a popcorn bucket problem, I have so many (not helped that i lived in Japan for a while where like you said the buckets were crazy cool), i haave no idea what to do with them all, using them is always hard because lol none of them are easy to wash afterwords. Ive started using them store craft materials.
Me and my family had many popcorn buckets from disney world. We even ended up using them outside the parks sometimes! When we went to the theater, each of the kids had their own bucket that the jumbo sized one would be poured into. It probably helped prevent infighting between me and my 3 sibs.
If TDR’S popcorn bucket video isn’t a 12 part, 20 hour long series, I will be disappointed. They have the most wild assortment of buckets!
If anything Dan would make it a whole hour or two for that alone, just to beat Defunctland's hour+ long docu about the history of Disney lines.
Dreamfinder looked down from his fantastical flying machine and shed a single tear.
Thank you! I will most definitely want to see a video on Tokyo Disney Resort's popcorn bucket history, as some of the more recent designs are just gorgeous on to themselves (See Beauty and the Beast stain glass popcorn bucket that lights up.)
The Tangled one even resembles the lanterns from the movie and lights up too. I have that bucket, so it was worth getting it.
The figment popcorn buckets are EXCLUSIVE to the festival. Once the festival is over they are GONE and will not be coming back. That’s why they are so popular. If you don’t get one or have gotten one by now, you won’t ever get one at Epcot. They’re limited edition to the festival and once sold out will not be returning.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
I mean they look cool, but obviously I wouldn't pay more than retail for them.
As someone who does live in the Orlando area I kind of agree that Disney in a way is basically just a giant mall for us. Literally about a month ago my friend and I drove to Disney springs just to try some snacks and buy a tshirt. We then immediately left afterwords.
I just have the 50th anniversary bucket for the simple purpose of holding my freaking popcorn LOL
I didn't realize I could get so excited by the history of popcorn buckets. I'm excited for the history of the other parks!
Kind of a coincidence that I’m watching Disney Dan and a Disneyland add shows up
Yaaay daddy is back with more stories about Disney *plops down listening with big eyes eating popcorn*
The popcorn buckets are really weird but cool at the same time
When I was more younger living in Japan I had full shelves of Tokyo Disneyland Popcorn bucket. Best Popcorn ever
I can't wait to see the Tokyo Disneyland Popcorn buckets video, its such a must have when going to Tokyo Disneyland
Dear parents!
Let the kids choose their favourite Disney Parks souvenirs!!! When the kids are very good, then they deserve more souvenirs. Every good behaviour kid should have 1-2 bags of Disney Parks souvenirs: plush toys, toys, mini figures, bubble blower, Mickey ears, t-shirts, jacket, drinking bottle, and some pins or magnets and etc. Please buy only those Disney Parks souvenirs, what the kids very want!!!! I know many Disney souvenirs are very expensive, but when the kids are very good all the times, then sometimes they deserve these things!!! Please be kind parents and make Your kids very happy with these Disney Parks souvenirs, what the kids have chosen and don’t say NO all the times, when the kids very deserves those Disney Parks souvenirs for good behaviour!!!
Respectfully,
Astra Viil😊🙏
That sounds like a good tactic. I'll pull that off the moment I have a family!
i think the foot buckets are meant to be a representation of the "boot" mugs used in Germany around Christmas for gluehvine, which are widely popular in their Christmas markets. That's why the popcorn buckets that are shaped that way are always Christmas ones.
I didn't even know these existed! I'm British and never been to any of the parks, so am oblivious to these kinds of these things.
Now I know I really need the Figment one!
And yes Dan, I've noticed you change the background every video! It's fun seeing what's changed!
I'm sure if/when I go to Disney I'll fill my suitcase with novelty popcorn buckets
Even more if you end up on Tokyo Disneyland/Tokyo DisneySea, where the buckets blow the US ones out the water.
Sadly, I can't eat popcorn right now due to health related issues. But I never got a popcorn bucket. I love your buckets and this video!
this man is literally the human version of laughing gas
I live vicariously through these kinds of videos, because I'm broke and live on an island very far from america
At this point I'm just frustrated, because we're going in a few days, and I've never seen my mom remotely excited about merch before but she loves figment and she likes this bucket. Of course the one time I wanna get her something it's a thing with an 8 hour wait and huge markups.
Very interesting back story! That said - waiting 8 hours in line for a novelty popcorn bucket that's probably going to end up in a closet or the basement? I'd rather spend 8 hours going on attractions, shopping and/or dining experiences.
Rip to all the corn sacrifices each year in order to fill all those buckets
I don’t know what’s weird or honestly the fact that I started almost 50 seconds in this video and I’m already making a comment or the fact that you’re eating popcorn practically out of Sigmund a whole
I would commit SEVERAL crimes for that Beauty and the Beast stained glass bucket, and I can’t even eat popcorn
Apparently the reason that that lady threw out that cake was because Disney has a rule that, when you bring in food, you can’t give it to people outside of your group.
only someone like Dan can take a professionally made puppet that's probably worth hundreds of dollars, stuff it with greasy popcorn and casually eat out of it just for a youtube gag.
Never change Dan, never change.
As someone who lives 20 minutes away I can confirm that we do treat it like a mall. I can also admit that in my house we buy popcorn buckets to use as holiday decor
When the Millennium Falcon bucket was released, my Dad surprised me by sending me one for Christmas (he’s in CA, I’m in AZ). I liked seeing the photos of people repainting to age and detail their Millennium Falcon buckets.
Also getting it helped answer my question of how essentially a flat disk actually functions as a bucket. You point the ship into a nose dive, lift the back top, and there are grooves to fit a small cardboard rectangle containers in)
That picture of you as Dreamfinder with Figment is gold! Made my day. I was given a Figment stuffy as a little kid and he was my favorite my whole childhood. Never even went to WDW until high school, but Figment will always have a special place in my heart!
HEY DAN! Ur videos are next level and educational for me and other kids to learn more and more thank you for ur hard work
I got my first popcorn bucket January 14 this year on the first day of Festival of the Arts. I stood in line for 3 hours (10:10 am to 1:20 pm) for my Figment Popcorn bucket. It was an experience I never want to do again.
This whole Figment popcorn bucket craze is totally reminding me of the Orange Bird sipper cup madness circa Garden Festival 2020, which makes me wanna see a video on the history of Orange Bird in Epcot! Such an interesting character...
Great video as always!
I love how Dalin said to watch Dan's video for a better, high budget video and Dan just full-on wants to start a video duel!! 😂😂😂
I love the friendship you guys have and Foolish Mortals is one of my favourite podcasts of all time!
Watching this man eat popcorn out of Figments… uhhhh… I’m not even gonna. But it literally made my voice change for a few seconds because of the shock.
How many popcorn buckets do I have? Zero. The last time I was in Disney was 2010/2011 and didn't know about about these popcorn buckets until relatively recently. So, thank you Dan for letting us know the best way to buy these things for a good price.
P.s. Dallin beat you to uploading a video about this
If you're doing a popcorn bucket evolution, a souvenir sipper evolution can't be far behind! These stupid pieces of plastic give me too much joy lol
I guess you can not only have your beer in a boot, but your popcorn too! Lol
i love at 7:18 when you can tell Dan *almost* said "the way god intended" but held up for a beat like "how can i make this Even More colorful". Dan, you are an amazing showman and that was both hilarious and amazing!!!
Yes I do notice you change backdrop every vid. Keep at it. I like that you take the time to do that.
As for Figment, I think it’s popular because guests are trying to send a message to Disney. That we care about Figment and want Epcot to do more with him. Especially make the effort to bring back the original Journey Into Imagination.
U said ur gonna deep dive into popcorn buckets but when it comes to Tokyo you really need to look into the love of popcorn in Japan my sister lived there for 4 years and my best friend is Japanese its huge over there. They have some of the best flavors. But its why their buckets are the Rolls-Royce of popcorn buckets.
This video gave me a new perspective of popcorn buckets, LOL!
This video was awes
The Disney outlet in Orlando is selling mummy Mickey buckets for $15 now
This was a video I didn’t know I needed but that we all deserve. 🍿 Thanks Dan! Looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos!
Not me checking how much the figment buckets are going for. They are still going for about 100 on eBay! Also I need more popcorn bucket videos!!
Dan!! Awesome as always. I think we would have been offended if you hadn’t been eating popcorn during this. Our new favorite phrase is: Please mom, can I have the popcorn foot?!😂 You now have me NEEDING a Mickey balloon popcorn bucket. We are really excited for you and Offhand Disney to do a series of popcorn videos! It would be cool if they weren’t just dueling, but maybe a collab or two? You work so well together on Foolish Mortals! Also, have you seen the people doing giveaways for Figment popcorn buckets? One of them had it listed as a value of $200!!!
Yesssssss! I am HERE for this popcorn bucket deep dive! Thank you~!!!
My mom loves these popcorn buckets! She has a lot of the old ones that are printed. She has some of the Universal Studios ones too, like the Minions bucket. My mom is always jealous because Disneyland Tokyo and Univerdal Studios Japan always have the nicest popcorns buckets that light up, make noises, and are from licenses we’ll never have here in the US.
I think the re-sellers are more annoying to the people who literally waited hours in line only for the dude in front of them to buy the last 50 figments. I’m probably gonna wait for prices to dip because oh my god is he adorable lol
I’m just bummed that they can get 7 hour lines from a Figment popcorn bucket but they haven’t done anything to make that ride nicer. Either they don’t realize the merchandising MONSTER they’d have on their hands if the ride was even better, or they don’t care because he sells without a good ride.
I love that you edit your set for the theme of the vids! Don't ever stop
I absolutely love your videos Dan. Thank you for always making my day with your positive content!
P.s. now I want popcorn!
I love the pure popcorn controlled chaos that was that intro. just DisneyDan enjoying popcorn out of the side of some dinosaur? I don't know ill learn at the end of the video lol
When Ed and I were in Walt Disney World in September 2020, we got a Steamboat Willie Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket, Steamboat Willie Minnie Balloon Popcorn Bucket, Guinevere the Van Popcorn Bucket, The Millennium Falcon Popcorn Bucket and we also have two Mickey Celebration Sippers, Dearest Dan.
I like to use my popcorn buckets as purses! 😆
Offhand Disney Video: "Man, this is weird. Anyway, my friend is making a video this week, you should check him out, that'd be neat, :)"
Disney Dan Video: "I'M GONNA EAT ALL THE POPCORN. LOOK AT ALL THE BUCKETS. YOU'RE GOING DOWN OFFHAND DISNEY!!"
I'm so glad to finally know what those Mickey balloon things on your set are!
Also: in regards to the coloured popcorn, if you can use chopsticks, grab some and you can use them to eat the popcorn mess-free!
That's why Tokyo Disney introduced the popcorn tongs, for popcorn like that of the Figment Bucket. Best to get one for that!
"Please mom, let me get the popcorn foot."
-Disney Dan, 2022
I bought the steamboat mickey popcorn bucket from Disneysea on a past Tokyo trip. It's so pretty but it was a pain to wash out the curry smell from the popcorn 😅
Popcorn is such an iconic snack, before I had braces, I remember eating it a lot and I can't have any until I get my braces off in 2023.
Honestly, I would probably buy one of those Figment buckets if they were half price or something. It's cute. But it's not worth $25 let alone whatever the resellers are upcharging. But if it was that Tokyo Disneyland Alice in Wonderland one, that's a different story...
Amazing! I literally LOVE your videos! Keep up the good work! 🥰
Long time fan over here, rewatching the popcorn video, waiting for the promised further deep dive on popcorn… Love ya Dan!
Omg 😆 the E.T comparison 😭😂😂! New subscriber, couldn’t hit the like and the bell fast enough.
Always noticed the change in background and love all the little changes, each episode it’s a game of ooooh why’s new??
Without a doubt the Kermit at the back is EVERYTHING
Im hoping as I watch this that he was one of the people waiting in line and got the bucket! When I first heard about it I thought: DISNEY DAN WOULD LOVE THIS
I still remember riding a roller coaster with my sister, holding our popcorn containers in oir restrainst while screaming.
You really hit the nail on the head about the resellers. People want the merch but Disney is too dumb to just sell it in their online store. So they get a $25 profit while someone else gets $100+. Admittedly, I bought the figment spork from an online reseller because $15 for a spork is less harm to my wallet than $100+ for a bucket
And the wait point stands too. When the Loki show premiered on Disney+ back in June, there was a limited release of "Loki charms." They sold out in minutes and soon appeared on eBay for $150+ now a few months later, it's $30-50 for a box.
I uh got a universal popcorn bucket, has both park logos on it, clear, red top, handle, 2 dollar refills, brought it back last time I went, still worked. Magical.
Love this vid. One of my good friends family goes every year and she has been collecting them since we were young and I remember being mesmerized by all of her buckets haha
Oh nooo he goin crazy😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😝😝😝 0:44
Lol
Disney Dan makes me so happy with every video
Definitely subscribing to your channel!!! This was the most fun video! I surely hope that they have a figment bucket on my next trip to Epcot!!! I still have my figment shirt from 1987. So much fun!!! Thanks for sharing the fun and info and your set is amazing!!!! 🍿✨🍿✨🍿
I'm not even supposed to eat popcorn and now I want a popcorn bucket so THANKS DAN AND DALIN.
This was great! Now I want one! No I don’t have a popcorn bucket but I can assure you I’m a huge fan Disney. Hopefully I can get one in May when I go to Disney World for the 50th.
I'm currently back in my popcorn bucket craze because of the new Ghostbusters film. I got lucky enough to pick up the Ghost Trap popcorn bucket, and it's absolutely gorgeous
I have one popcorn bucket that was the alien with Christmas pajamas. I love it and still use it for snacks and decoration.
Did anyone else make popcorn to watch this?🍿
No just me ok 👌✨
