Glowing Round and Round: Pixar Pal-A-Round Bucket with "Magic Inside" Coming to Disney California Adventure

The Disneyland Resort is set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Disney California Adventure with a first-of-its-kind popcorn bucket.

What's Happening:

• On February 6, Disney California Adventure will debut a new bucket depicting the iconic Pixar Pal-A-Round (which was previously Mickey's Fun Wheel and was the Sun Wheel before that).
• Not only does this bucket feature the pie-eyed Mickey face and ride gondolas of the attraction but also includes embedded "Magic Inside" technology.
• According to the Disney Parks Blog, the bucket will change color and lighting patterns, interacting with different lands, attractions, and select nighttime spectaculars in both parks.

• Pricing for the bucket has not yet been revealed, but stay tuned.
• The Pal-A-Round bucket will be available at the following locations:
  • Mobile order: Hollywood Lounge Seasonal Novelty Release (Feb. 6-8)
  • Mobile order: Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta Seasonal Novelty Release (Feb. 6-8)
  • Mobile order: Popcorn at Grizzly Peak Airfield
  • Fairfax Market
  • Mortimers Market
  • Select popcorn and outdoor vending carts in California Adventure
• Of course, this bucket release is meant to coincide with Disney California Adventure's (originally Disney's California Adventure) 25th anniversary on February 8.
• Disney has also announced other offerings coming to the park for the celebration, including the return of Soarin' Over California, new outfits for Mickey and Minnie, and more.

Magic Inside:

• While this Magic Inside bucket may be a first of its kind, the description sounds similar to past Disney projects.
• For example, MagicBand+ features similar capabilities.
• Before that, Disney offered Glow with the Show ears (seen in the background of the top image in this post), which interacted with such nighttime spectaculars as World of Color.
