  "account": "In October 2026, McDonald's will begin selling Boo Buckets featuring Disney villains at its restaurants across the United States. This year's lineup includes five collectible pails, each showcasing a distinct Disney villain. Boo Buckets have been a Halloween tradition since 1986, but the 2026 edition offers enhanced collector appeal thanks to custom character graphics, decorative lid toppers, and sheets of stickers specific to each villain. The five Disney Villains appearing in the 2026 collection are Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Scar from The Lion King, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, Jafar from Aladdin, and Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians. To ensure availability, ordering through the McDonald's app on the first day of release is recommended, as drive-thru lines may be lengthy. These collectibles serve as both a Halloween treat and a valuable addition to a Disney fan's collection.",
