A step-by-step guide to buying the Figment Popcorn Bucket at the 2026 EPCOT Festival of the Arts using Mobile Order
One Little Spark of Inspiration made me break one of my personal Disney World rules: The Figment Popcorn Bucket is back for the 2026 EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, and this year’s design might be the best one yet. The Figment Artist Popcorn Bucket brings back the classic Figment shape from 2022, but adds Festival of the Arts flair that makes it feel like a true celebration of EPCOT’s most creative event.
Here’s everything you need to know about buying the 2026 Figment Popcorn Bucket, including how to order, where to pick it up, and a few tips I learned from grabbing one myself.

What’s New: The 2026 Figment Artist Bucket Design
This year’s Figment Popcorn Bucket features everyone’s favorite purple dragon dressed as an artist, a nod to the Art Realm scene from the original Journey Into Imagination attraction (that I miss more each and every day).
The design includes:
- A royal purple beret with paint splashes
- Colorful paint splatters across Figment’s body
- A paint-stained bow tie
- A removable paintbrush that lights up in six different colors with a pulsating cycle. The paintbrush also features the classic EPCOT Imagination Pavilion logo (this has been a hit toy with my 5 year old and 2 year old)
- An adjustable Figment-themed strap so you can wear it around your neck or shoulder
The bucket opens from the back and comes filled with signature Rainbow Popcorn.
A Personal Note: Why I Finally Bought One
I’ll be honest: I usually don’t buy popcorn buckets. They take up a lot of space, and I know my collector’s personality well enough to know that once I buy one, I’m going to want to buy more. I mean, come on… Figment needs a friend!
But the 2026 Figment Artist Bucket made me break my “No Popcorn Buckets” rule. The extra accessories, the light-up paintbrush, and the overall design made it feel like the perfect souvenir for my favorite EPCOT festival. If you’ve been on the fence about getting one, this might be the year to pull the trigger (Yay for the opposite of accountability!)
How to Buy the Figment Popcorn Bucket Using Mobile Order
The Figment Popcorn Bucket is only available via Mobile Order in the My Disney Experience app. You won’t find it on shelves or at popcorn carts around the park. Here’s how to get one:
- On the day of your EPCOT visit, open the My Disney Experience app on your phone
- Tap the + icon at the bottom of the screen and select “Order Food.”
- Scroll down to EPCOT and look for “EPCOT Souvenir Release” – just below Connections Eatery (you can also search for “Figment”).
- Select an available arrival window.
- Follow the prompts to complete your purchase. The limit is 2 buckets per transaction, and you can only place one order per day.
- During your arrival window, head to Figment’s Inspiration Station at The Odyssey. Tap “I’m Here, Prepare My Order” in the app (If you have Live Activities enabled on iPhone, you can tap directly from your lock screen).
- Once you receive a notification that your order is ready, head to the mobile order pickup window.
Congratulations, you’re now the proud owner of a Figment Popcorn Bucket! Welcome to the club!
Where to Pick Up the Figment Popcorn Bucket
The Figment Popcorn Bucket is sold at Figment’s Inspiration Station at The Odyssey, located on the walkway between Test Track and the Mexico Pavilion.
Pro tip: Enter through the door on the side closer to Test Track. That’s where the Figment Popcorn Bucket pickup line is located. It’s a separate line from the food queue, so don’t accidentally wait in the wrong spot.
Figment’s Inspiration Station opens at 11:00 AM daily, with pickup windows available until 9:00 PM.
How Much Does the Figment Popcorn Bucket Cost?
The Figment Artist Popcorn Bucket costs $29.00, which includes a serving of Rainbow Popcorn.
Purchase Limits
Each guest can place one mobile order per day for up to two Figment Popcorn Buckets. If you’re traveling with family or friends who also want buckets, each person can place their own order through their own My Disney Experience account.
Tips for Buying the Figment Popcorn Bucket
Consider buying later in the day. I went on the first day of the 2026 Festival and there were still plenty of buckets available by the end of the day. The wait was also much shorter in the evening compared to the morning rush. That said, supply could become more limited toward the final days of the Festival, so don’t wait until the last minute if you really want one.
Think about timing and convenience. The bucket comes with an adjustable strap, so you can wear Figment around your neck or shoulder (like a little baby dragon in a admittedly janky baby bjorn… which is honestly kind of fun). But the bucket is big, and it can be a hassle to manage if you’re hopping on rides like Test Track or Soarin’. If you’re planning a full day at EPCOT, picking up the bucket toward the end of your visit might save you some hassle.
