The glowing Coco bucket was set to go on sale Sept. 17 at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea for 3,800 yen. That’s less than a lot of popcorn buckets at the U.S. parks.
Tokyo Disney Resort has a new popcorn bucket, and this one lights up.
The light-up Coco popcorn bucket went on sale Thursday, Sept. 17, at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, according to WDW News Today. It costs 3,800 yen, which works out to about $24 at today’s exchange rate.
That’s pretty reasonable, considering the kind of prices popcorn buckets go for in the U.S.
What does the Coco popcorn bucket look like?
It’s covered in details from the Pixar movie. Here’s what WDW News Today described:
A purple lid with Miguel, skulls, guitars and flowers
“Remember Me” written across papel picado, the colorful cut-paper banners you see all over the movie, wrapped around the sides
Marigolds decorating the base
An orange light inside the base that makes the marigolds glow
A white strap with Coco designs on one side and marigolds on the other
A little guitar clip based on Ernesto de la Cruz’s famous white guitar
The glowing marigolds are a nice touch. In “Coco,” marigold petals make the bridge between the Land of the Living and the Land of the Dead.
Where can you buy the Coco popcorn bucket?
At three popcorn wagons, per WDW News Today:
Adventureland at Tokyo Disneyland
Fantasyland at Tokyo Disneyland
Lost River Delta at Tokyo DisneySea
Lost River Delta is a good match. It’s the part of Tokyo DisneySea themed to Central America in the 1930s, with a big Mayan-style pyramid and plenty of Latin American flavor.
Tokyo Disney Resort’s popcorn wagons each sell their own flavor, and it changes from time to time. Check the Tokyo Disney Resort app for what’s being served when you visit.
How much is the Coco popcorn bucket in US dollars?
At about 157 yen to the dollar, 3,800 yen comes to roughly $24.
For comparison, Disneyland’s light-up Coco lantern sipper, which came out Sept. 3, costs $30.99 with a Coke, according to WDW News Today. And lots of U.S. popcorn buckets cost $25 to $35 or more before you add the popcorn.
So Tokyo’s Coco bucket is on the cheaper end of the specialty bucket scale. The flight to Japan is a different story.
Can you buy the Tokyo Disney Coco bucket online?
Not from Disney. Tokyo Disney Resort sells its popcorn buckets in the parks.
Reseller shops that ship from Japan already have the Coco bucket listed, and those usually charge a lot more than 3,800 yen once you add their fees and shipping. If you’re tempted, compare prices before you click buy.
Why is there so much Coco merch right now?
Fall is Coco season. The movie is set during Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican holiday on Nov. 1 and 2, so Coco merch and decorations tend to show up at Disney parks around Halloween.
Coco has also been a big name at Disney lately:
Disneyland’s light-up Coco lantern sipper came out Sept. 3
A Coco boat ride to the Land of the Dead is planned for Animal Kingdom’s Tropical Americas at Walt Disney World
“Coco 2” is set for November 2029
The first “Coco” came out in 2017 and won the Oscar for best animated feature. Nearly a decade later, fans still get excited about anything with a marigold on it.
If you’re headed to Tokyo this fall, the popcorn wagons are the place to look. Get there early, because a light-up bucket for about $24 might not stick around for long.
