FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Families in Fort Wayne can add a touch of Disney magic to their Halloween celebrations beginning Tuesday, Oct. 20, when McDonald’s rolls out its seasonal Boo Buckets with a villain‑themed twist. The fast‑food giant is offering five collectible bucket designs inspired by iconic Disney antagonists: Jafar from Aladdin, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Scar from The Lion King, Cruella de Ville from 101 Dalmatians, and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.
How to get a Boo Bucket
Customers who purchase a Happy Meal at any participating McDonald’s location nationwide will receive their meal in one of the limited‑edition Halloween buckets, provided the promotion is still in stock. The Happy Meal choices remain the same: a Hamburger Happy Meal, a four‑piece Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal, or a six‑piece Chicken McNuggets Happy Meal. Each meal is packaged in a collectible bucket that replaces the standard Happy Meal box for the duration of the promotion.
Local availability
Fort Wayne restaurants are part of the national rollout, so local families can visit their nearest McDonald’s to pick up a bucket. Because the containers are limited‑edition, the chain advises shoppers to act quickly, as supplies are expected to run out before the Halloween season ends.
Why the promotion matters
The Boo Buckets have become a seasonal tradition for McDonald’s, turning a simple fast‑food meal into a collectible experience that appeals to children and nostalgic adults alike. By partnering with Disney, the company taps into a beloved brand that resonates with families across the country, reinforcing McDonald’s position as a community‑focused destination during holiday celebrations.
What’s next
The Disney Villains Boo Buckets will be available only while supplies last, with the promotion ending after Halloween. McDonald’s encourages fans to check the company’s website for a list of participating locations and any updates on availability.
