Keep an eye on sites that sell park souvenirs to see what else has come out at Disneyland. Sorry I can't be more definite.

Originally Posted By SIR at X-S Tech So far there have been 3 new buckets that have come out this year. The first to be released had no tagline and was a montage of Disneyland-only attractions (as opposed to the others which are intended for both WDW and DL). This bucket is actually intended to be used thorughout the year whenever supplies run low of whichever "Celebration" branded bucket. It's harder to find, therefore, but it does show up once in a while. The "Celebrate Imagination" one is Tomorrowland themed and I believe no longer available. It was only intended to be used up through the beginning of summer I believe but did sell through really quick, which meant that the Celebrate Friendship Adventureland themed bucket was brought out way earlier than intended. A summer bucket is being rushed and should show up soon. There should be at least 2 more designs (Fall and Winter) plus perhaps the annual Haunted Mansion Holiday. This doesn't include anything different that DCA may have.

Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 I think they're talking about the collectable plastic souvenier buckets. Not the cardboard ones they also sell at the stands. I never got why people would pay extra for the plastic bucket (and not that much more popcorn) and throw them away. Someone did that in one of the shallow bins on the Mark Twain once and I dug it out and took it home. Hey, it was a Halloween one I didn't have!
Originally Posted By dlkozy ^^^Yes, that is what I meant by buckets too-the plastic ones. I don't consider the paper ones either buckets or something someone would want to keep-but then maybe some people would keep the cardboard ones too-ya never know! ;0)
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 I have several of the buckets and they are just stacked up waiting for me to think of something to do with them Thanks for the ideas! I especially like the holiday ones
Originally Posted By lovethegoof I keep all my loose change in a DL popcorn bucket. When it gets close to vacation time I take the change to the bank, get bills, and use the money on my trip to DL.

Originally Posted By iluvdisneyland "Are these a new thing? I can't remember seeing them. Where are they sold?" Hi, fadedjeans! We've been selling them for years at all of the popcorn locations. I believe current porices are $3.50 for the "Disney Scoop" size (cardboard box) and $5.50 for the souvenir bucket size. The buckets are changed out quite regularly, depending on the current promotion or celebration.
