It’s a popcorn bucket world, and we’re all simply dwelling in it. Between the outstanding popcorn buckets launched alongside each blockbuster film and those which might be launched at theme parks like Walt Disney World, it’s clear that they’re the recent merch merchandise of the second. And whereas I’ve definitely seen some Disney World popcorn buckets I really like, on my subsequent journey, I shall be coming residence with a brand new mug.
2025 has been a terrific 12 months for Disney World, particularly for individuals like me who love Disney World lounge. That is as a result of we’re getting not one, however two new places to take a load off and seize a chew. Epcot’s Spaceship Earth lounge Geo-82 opened earlier this 12 months, and at this time Disney World introduced that the brand new Pirates of the Caribbean lounge, Beak & Barrel, will open at Magic Kingdom on August 29.
Together with the announcement, the lounge’s menu has been launched, which features a cocktail referred to as Plunderer’s Punch. It’s, in fact, a rum-based drink, however extra importantly, it’s served in a pirate cranium mug that’s completely superior.
This mug seems tremendous cool. From the picture, it seems to be fairly sturdy, and it comes with rum, so I see no draw back. The place has the rum gone? With me.
Not solely will I really feel like a pirate consuming this one on the Beak & Barrel after I purchase it, however I stay up for feeling equally piratical each time I drink from it sooner or later. This one shall be coming residence with me.
Identical to Disney World has an limitless variety of popcorn buckets or sippers that you may purchase together with a snack, lounges all around the resort have particular drinks which might be served in a memento mug. They’re truthfully a good way to kill two birds with one stone and get each the meals or drink you had been going to get anyway, in addition to a memento out of your journey.
Whereas I not often really feel the necessity to purchase each popcorn bucket I see, I’ve needed to cease myself from remodeling my whole assortment of beverage glasses into Disney World and Disneyland souvenirs. I imply, why would I wish to drink out of something different than a glass that jogs my memory of probably the most magical place on Earth?
To be honest, all the pieces else on the menu at Beak & Barrel seems and sounds as superb as this mug. I don’t see a drink on the menu that I wouldn’t wish to attempt. I suppose I will be visiting greater than as soon as. The meals seems equally tasty and in addition distinctive. Kraken’s Catch, a chilly salad full with octopus tentacles, seems particularly fascinating.
Beak & Barrel is about to open at Magic Kingdom on August 29, with reservations opening up on August 14. I don’t know after I’ll be making my subsequent journey to Disney World, however Beak & Barrel reservations will completely be on my to-do listing. I am going to see you on the tavern.
