BDX Droid Popcorn Buckets Debut in Limited Drops at Disneyland and Hollywood Studios

Disney is using app-driven timed releases with strict per-guest limits to control demand for the new collectible.

Overview

  • The buckets began appearing at Disneyland starting Thursday in selected locations and launched at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with a mobile-order release that runs through May 24, according to park reports.
  • At Hollywood Studios guests must order through the My Disney Experience app, select a souvenir release arrival window, then pick up the item at the designated mobile-order location in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
  • The collectible is a white-and-blue, collapsible BDX droid with a detachable weathered-look strap that opens in front for storage and folds into a compact cube.
  • The souvenir is sold with separately bagged popcorn (reports describe a spicy cheese option), is limited to two per person per transaction, and is priced at about $29 at Walt Disney World and $26.99 at Disneyland.
  • The drop ties into Mandalorian and Grogu promotions and follows Disney’s recent pattern of short app-only souvenir releases, so guests are advised to set up the app before arrival because windows and inventory can fill quickly.
