If you’ve participated in the Disney Dreamlight Valley Dreamlight Parks Fest event before, you know all about the unique popcorn buckets you can create using buttons. This year, the 2025 edition introduces two exciting new options: the Dug and Mine Cart Popcorn Buckets. However, there’s a twist; you won’t be able to craft these buckets immediately. Unlike the previous versions that simply required collecting buttons and crafting, these two come with a few extra steps. Read on to find out how to craft the Dug and Mine Cart popcorn buckets during this year’s Dreamlight Parks Fest event.
How to Craft the Dug Popcorn Bucket in Disney Dreamlight Valley Parks Fest
The recipe for the Dug Popcorn Bucket is as follows:
- Green Buttons (40)
- Blue Buttons (15)
- Flower Buttons (20)
- Purple Buttons (5)
However, be aware that you can’t craft the Dug Popcorn Bucket right away. You first need to complete Mirabel’s Critter Snaps quest and the subsequent missions. Currently, details on those later quests remain a mystery, but be prepared for them to be time-gated. After finishing Critter Snaps, you’ll need to wait a few days to access related quests, ultimately unlocking the Dug Popcorn Bucket recipe.
How to Craft the Mine Cart Popcorn Bucket in Disney Dreamlight Valley Parks Fest

- Blue Buttons (15)
- Red Buttons (10)
- Purple Buttons (5)
Just like the Dug version, the Mine Cart bucket requires completing a specific quest series. To unlock it, you need to progress through Scrooge McDuck’s Dig It mission, which involves spending quality time with Scrooge and mining for minerals. Completing this journey will lead to a follow-up quest a few days later. Due to the time gate, you won’t be able to craft the bucket on the event’s first day.
