If you’re planning your Orlando trip soon, get ready for a popcorn bucket with a grin! Universal Orlando just dropped a delightfully cartoonish Jurassic World: Rebirth T. Rex popcorn bucket, and it’s causing quite the buzz. Picture a pint‑size T. Rex with a hinged jaw—you load your popcorn right into its mouth. Families with kids will love the playful design, but true-blue Jurassic World fans might raise an eyebrow at the lighthearted twist against the darker movie tone.
The surprise? Many suspect this bucket was actually made for the upcoming Universal Kids Resort in Texas, set to open next year. Its whimsical vibe fits perfectly with a kid-centric land, so Universal may have simply released it early to ride the wave of excitement around the movie. Whether it’s toy-shelf worthy or just park fun, this T. Rex bucket is a creative collectible—and a clever way to make summer days more memorable. If you’re a dinosaur lover or bucket collector, this one is worth a Yellowstone-sized double-take!
Planning Tips & Personal Advice:
- Grab yours early: This bucket is a summer exclusive and likely to sell out fast. Snag it on your first trip around the park to avoid missing out.
- Best time to visit: Weekday mornings are prime time—not just for rides, but to avoid long lines at merchandise stalls.
- Beyond the bucket: After you’ve collected your T. Rex, explore the new Universal Studios display of movie-themed buckets. They make fabulous shelf decor or fun souvenirs.
- Photo op tip: First timers—pose with your bucket near the Jurassic area entrance; the lush foliage makes for a photogenic backdrop!
Why families will love it:
This bucket isn’t just a snack holder—it’s a little sidekick for the day’s adventures. It can spark playful dialogue, spark joy in littles, and offer a break from the scorching summer heat in that T. Rex shade.
