We’re talking Star Wars-themed collectible buckets that are as much souvenir as they are snack. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.

The May the 4th 2026 Popcorn Buckets: What’s Available

Two collectible buckets are available for the May the 4th celebration at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Each one is loaded with Spicy Cheese Popcorn and designed to turn heads on your way through Galaxy’s Edge.

Jabba’s Sail Barge Bucket — $30.00

This one channels the iconic villain’s desert vessel in a big way. At $30.00, Jabba’s Sail Barge Bucket is the pricier of the two, but it delivers serious show-floor presence. Limit 2 per person per transaction, so grab one for yourself and one for the Star Wars fan in your group.

Salvaged Protocol Droid Bucket — $29.00

If you’re more of a droid person, the Salvaged Protocol Droid Bucket comes in at $29.00 and carries that perfectly weathered look Galaxy’s Edge does so well. Also limited to 2 per person per transaction. Both buckets come filled with the same Spicy Cheese Popcorn — a bold, savory flavor that pairs surprisingly well with a Star Wars marathon later.

How to Order: Mobile Order Only

Here’s the part that trips people up: you cannot walk up and buy these at a merchandise cart. The May the 4th 2026 popcorn buckets at Hollywood Studios are mobile order only through the My Disney Experience app. No app? You’re not getting one at the window. Download it, log in, and link your park ticket before your visit.

Step-by-Step Ordering Process

1. Open the My Disney Experience app
2. Tap the blue (+) button at the bottom center of the screen
3. Select “Order Food”
4. Find “Disney’s Hollywood Studios Souvenir Release” — this is the listing for the popcorn buckets
5. Choose your arrival window
6. Complete your order
7. When you arrive, tap “I’m Here, Prepare My Order”
8. Pick up your bucket at the designated pickup window in Galaxy’s Edge, across from the Milk Stand

What You Need to Know Before You Go

Availability: May 4 and 5, 2026 only, while supplies last. These are limited-quantity items — if you want them, don’t sleep on it.

Order Limit: One mobile order per day per guest, for up to 2 of each bucket. So yes — you can get both bucket styles in one order.

Park Admission Required: You need a valid ticket to Hollywood Studios. A theme park reservation may also be required — check Disney’s website for the most current reservation requirements closer to your visit.

No Discounts Apply: Annual Passholder discounts, DVC member discounts, and Cast Member discounts do not apply to these items.

Pick Up Location: Inside Galaxy’s Edge, across from the Milk Stand. If you know where to get Blue Milk, you know exactly where to go.

Tips for Snagging Both Buckets

The mobile-order-only format is actually good news for planning purposes — you don’t have to race to a merchandise cart the moment the park opens. But here’s what we’d recommend:

Place your order early in your arrival window. Souvenir releases like this can sell out fast, and selecting an early window gives you the best shot at securing your items before stock runs out.

Set a reminder on your phone. Seriously. You don’t want to be halfway through Rise of the Resistance and realize you forgot to check in on your mobile order.

Plan your Galaxy’s Edge time around pickup. The pickup window is right there in the land — it’s easy to grab your buckets and keep moving through the area without backtracking across the park.

Download the app before you leave home. Don’t wait until you’re standing at the park entrance to realize you need an update. Get the My Disney Experience app ready, your park ticket linked, and your payment method saved well before May 4th.

May the 4th Be With You

The May the 4th 2026 popcorn buckets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are exactly the kind of Star Wars collectible that makes the celebration worth planning around. At $29–$30 each, they’re priced like premium souvenirs — but for Star Wars fans, that’s part of the deal. The mobile-order-only format means you can skip the line stress and focus on the fun. Just get that MDE app ready before you walk through the gates. May the 4th be with you.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
