The bucket costs $12.29, and refills are available for $2.19. Select snack stands even sell the buckets with cotton candy. We first spotted the new logos in use on a sign at the Universal Volcano Bay bus loop in May.

Yes, Universal Studios (both in Orlando and Hollywood) continues to be a major hub for collectible popcorn buckets in 2026, often rivaling Disney in terms of design and popularity. These buckets are frequently themed around major franchises like Minions, Jurassic World, and Fast & Furious. A major draw for 2026 visitors is the refill program: after an initial purchase (typically ranging from $25 to $35 depending on the complexity of the design), guests can get refills for a significantly reduced price (around $2.50 to $5.00) for the duration of their visit. Some premium buckets even feature light-up elements or moving parts, making them popular souvenirs. In 2026, the park has introduced "digital pass integration" for refills, where you can scan your bucket's QR code at self-service kiosks to speed up the process. Seasonally, you will find limited-edition releases, such as the highly sought-after Halloween Horror Nights buckets or holiday-themed Grinchmas containers.
