Popcorn buckets

[KatrinaJ91]

Just wondering if anyone else has a collection of popcorn buckets? I have 8 of them...all different! I am a 3rd grade teacher and use them in my classroom for a variety of items. The kids love them and I have had some students come back to my room just to see if I got new a new bucket after they moved on! People always talk about the mugs,...just wondered about the buckets!

I have about 20 of them but they are just in a cabinet I need to do something with them

I have about 10-15 of them too...would love some ideas on what to do with them!

I use them in my classroom for pencils, boxtops and a variety of other small objects. They would be good at home for throwing change into!

I have been collecting them what seems like forever. I usually get another bucket when they change. I have several of the 100 Mickeys buckets, original California buckets etc. Sometimes I will bring them with me to DL to buy popcorn to refill them.

I don't really use them all that much. Just a collection. I do use one to rinse my DD's hair in the tub and one for her markers.

Our favourite is the R2-D2 buckets that our friends bought for our boys .... they get used for popcorn, however.

We also have a "Blue Hat" bucket that we got in Disneyland, it is used to collect change that gets converted to US currency for the kids when we travel.

We only have 2 and I don't remember when or where we got them. We use ours for putting our change in to save for our trip.
I use one for my change & my son uses the other. We actually have a Stitch & Tinkerbell banks and when they get full we dump them in the buckets too. Sometimes I throw a dollar or 5 in there too.

We use ours for popcorn, actually.

Whenever we make popcorn at home everyone gets their own bucket. The main argument is who gets which park.

I used to have a large collection but during my last move and anxious helper tossed them out. I didn't know they were missing until too late. I've collected a few since then but they will never replace the unique ones that I had.

I have no idea how many I have....too many I'm sure !!!

I just have two... one from the MNSSHP (we call him Ghosty) and one from the MVMCP (we call him Snowy)

Love the mickey shaped buckets. dont have any of the regular ones.

Because we're local and go all the time, I've lost track of how many we have. Filling them with snacks for a party is a great option.

As another poster mentioned, we also use them for popcorn at home.

i also collect them and have about 8. i use them for popcorn on "movie nights" at the house. I also buy the cups that go with them. i missed one i wanted from the 2010 halloween party that had the headless horseman on it so i'm hoping to find one on ebay.

Glad I'm not the only one - I have about 10.

We have 2 from WDW and 1 huge bucket from Disney On Ice. We use the big one all the time for popcorn. The others are up on a shelf with our collection of resort mugs.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! I have about 6 popcorn buckets. My current favorite is Ghost Mickey from last Halloween.

I'm a teacher too. I use them to sort my Mr. Potato Head parts in my classroom.

Wednesday is popcorn day at morning break. I take mine to work for popcorn. Much cooler than using empty coffee canisters. And the pictures on the buckets always brings a smile to my face.

We just discovered these last trip, we have a halloween one we are using to stuff our spending money for the upcoming trip in and a R2D2 one we are using to put back the money for paying off our trip, they are so cute! I can't wait to pick up a few more of them!

Does anyone have pictures of what types are for sale now and how much are they? I saw a great Minnie that I think was from Japan, but I'm wondering if there are cool ones here too - we are planning a trip in June 2012. Thanks.
