Disney fans know the drill: we walk into the parks claiming we’re “just looking,” and five minutes later we’re holding the newest novelty that somehow feels essential to our existence. I’ve collected my fair share of popcorn buckets and sippers from different destinations, and even with all of that, this new release still hits differently. Disney’s Animal Kingdom just dropped two wild new novelties themed to The Lion King, and they’re already causing a stir.
Starting today, guests can get their paws on the Scar Bucket and the Ed Hyena Sipper, each capturing the attitude and personality of two of the film’s most memorable villains. Whether you’re a popcorn bucket completist, a fan of Disney Eats collectables, or someone who just loves the occasional park novelty that makes no logical sense but sparks joy anyway, these are worth hunting down.

Let’s start with the new Scar Bucket. This thing is intense in all the right ways. Scar’s infamous glare is front and center, complete with light-up eyes that take the design to the next level. It comes with an adjustable strap and includes popcorn at purchase, which means it’s immediately functional for your snacking adventures around the park. You can find it at Mahindi in Africa, The Feeding Ground on Discovery Island, Chakranadi in Asia, and Trek Snacks nearby. Like most of these hot releases, it’s limited to two per person and only while supplies last.

If you prefer a little chaos with your collectibles, the Ed Hyena Sipper might be the one calling your name. Ed is captured mid-giggle, completely unhinged and completely perfect. It’s bold, it’s ridiculous, and honestly, that’s what makes it great. Fill it with your go-to drink and take it along on your next trek through the park. It’s available at The Feeding Ground, Mahindi, Chakranadi, Trek Snacks, and ice cream carts across Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Same limit applies, so plan accordingly.
These novelties not only bring a bit of the Pride Lands to your day, they’re the kind of items you’ll remember long after your trip. Whether you’re team Scar, team Ed, or just team “I didn’t need this but I love it,” this duo adds a wickedly fun twist to your visit. If you’re hoping to snag one, don’t wait too long. These releases tend to disappear faster than Simba running from a stampede.
