Disney’s patriotic Sam Eagle popcorn bucket has arrived. The collectible, featuring the Muppets’ most dignified patriot in full Uncle Sam mode, surprise-released early at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT today, ahead of its official Disneyland Resort launch on June 30. Walt Disney World guests can grab it now while supplies last.
The bucket is part of Disney’s America 250 celebration and is priced at $22 with popcorn included, slightly below recent comparable Disney Parks buckets. Purchases are limited to two per person per transaction.
A Patriotic Pick From The Muppets
Sam Eagle has long been one of the Muppets’ most recognizable characters, known for his unwavering patriotism and stern sense of dignity. He is a natural fit for a summer release centered on America’s 250th birthday, which Disney is celebrating in a big way across its parks and media properties throughout 2026. The bucket design features Sam Eagle in his stars-and-stripes top hat, standing behind a podium adorned with patriotic bunting, with a red, white, and blue Disney Parks lanyard included.
Disney has been rolling out themed collectible popcorn buckets at a steady pace this summer, following the popular Bullseye bucket tied to Toy Story 5.
Part Of Disney’s Semiquincentennial Celebrations
Disney has tied much of its 2026 programming to America’s 250th anniversary. Mickey Mouse recently paid a visit to the original Declaration of Independence, and ABC aired a primetime special honoring the milestone. The Sam Eagle bucket fits neatly into that broader patriotic theme.
For Walt Disney World guests, the bucket is available now at Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. The Disneyland Resort release is June 30.
