These collectible containers, typically released annually during the Halloween season at the Disneyland Resort, are sought-after souvenirs. They come in various festive designs, often shaped like pumpkins, characters, or other Halloween-themed icons. A purchase of one allows guests to obtain refills of popcorn or other designated treats at a discounted price throughout their visit.
Their popularity stems from a combination of factors. They serve as a practical way to carry snacks, a tangible reminder of a Disneyland visit during a special time of year, and a collectible item that can appreciate in value. Historically, certain designs have become highly coveted by Disney enthusiasts, leading to significant resale value on the secondary market. The anticipation surrounding each year’s new designs contributes to the excitement and festive atmosphere of Halloween at the park.
