NEW Donald Duck Munchling Popcorn Bucket, Chocolate Piñata, and Plush — OH MY!
In 1934, Donald Duck made his Disney debut in the cartoon The Wise Little Hen. That makes Donald 90 years old this year!
Naturally, Disney has released special merchandise in celebration of this huge milestone, and now we’re back with even more items you may want to add to your collection — featuring Donald Duck as a Munchling!
Donald Duck Munchling Plush
Let’s start out with the plush Donald Munchling so that we can explain exactly what Disney Munchlings are! Munchlings reimagine your favorite Disney characters as plush foods, such as Pluto as a peanut butter cup, or Donald as a wild raspberry lollipop.
For Donald Duck’s 90th birthday, he has been reimagined as a piece of popcorn inside a red-and-white striped popcorn bucket!
Donald appears to be covered in spots of butter, but he’s still wearing his classic blue sailor hat.
So cute, and best of all — he comes in two separate pieces!
Yes, you can remove Donald from the bucket.
We found the Donald Popcorn Munchling at the Emporium in Magic Kingdom as well as at World of Disney in Disney Springs. Get him now for $34.99.
Donald Duck Munchling Popcorn Bucket
Next up is the Donald Duck Munchling Popcorn Bucket, which is available exclusively at the West Side Popcorn Cart in Disney Springs and at select locations in Disneyland Resort for $20.
And here he is! Just like the plush Munchling, Donald is a piece of popcorn set inside a red-and-white striped popcorn bucket.
Note that these are two separate pieces, which we will show you in a bit.
To help you carry him around the parks, Donald also comes with a lanyard featuring images of his Munchling popcorn self.
And you can remove Donald from the bucket! He’s so cute.
Popcorn can be accessed from the back of Donald. It opens easily so you can enjoy all that delicious Disney popcorn!
Head to Disney Springs to grab one before it sells out.
Donald Duck Chocolate Piñata
And finally, we visited The Ganachery in Disney Springs for the Donald Duck Chocolate Piñata for $35.
It’s made of a milk chocolate shell with popcorn ganache treats.
Come on, Donald is SO cute!
With our purchase, we also received an ice pack (greatly appreciated!)…
…and a wooden mallet to break it open.
Although much rounder in this form, Donald looks a lot like his other Munchling counterparts, complete with butter “splatters.”
He’s perched on top of the same red-and-white striped popcorn bucket.
Donald’s cap and decor are fondant, but note that the popcorn bucket is not edible — it’s actually made of paper.
All good things must come to an end, however, and we had to break him open!
Inside Donald were several chocolate-covered marshmallows! Yum.
While $35 is a lot for this treat, there’s a lot of craftsmanship involved!
On top of it being a fun activity, it also comes with plenty of treats to share. If you have room in your budget, you might want to give this a try.
Head to Disney World to check out all these new Donald Munchling items!
