You won’t have to cook any popcorn for this one.

In Disney Dreamlight Valley, from May 15 until June 5, you can participate in the ongoing Dreamlight Parks Fest event and craft some exclusive furniture. During this time, you’ll also have three Dreamlight duties that allow you to unlock additional items, with the Popcorn Enthusiast duty being, by far, the most challenging to finish.

Completing the Popcorn Enthusiast duty in Disney Dreamlight Valley requires crafting and placing all five popcorn buckets added in the Dreamlight Parks Fest event. The event, which runs from May 15 to June 5, introduces five buttons that you’ll use to craft each bucket, allowing you to decorate your village and claim your quest reward.

Here’s a quick list of all five popcorn buckets you need to make for the Popcorn Enthusiast duty:

  • Cinderella Popcorn Bucket
  • Stitch Popcorn Bucket
  • Figment Popcorn Bucket
  • Pooh’s Popcorn Bucket
  • Metallic Mickey Popcorn Bucket

To make each popcorn bucket, you’ll have to travel around Dreamlight Valley and search for buttons. You’ll obtain these buttons by fishing, completing daily quests, and foraging. While you can farm some for an indefinite time, others, such as green, flower, and red buttons, are limited by daily quests and spawn rates, making it impossible to complete in one day.

Below is a list of every popcorn bucket introduced during the Dreamlight Parks Fest event alongside their crafting requirements:

In other words, you’ll need the following buttons to make all five popcorn buckets:

  • Green Button – 200
  • Purple Button – 20
  • Flower Button – 80
  • Blue Button – 60
  • Red Button – 30

That’s a lot of buttons. While some, like blue and flower buttons, are readily available through fishing and flower collecting, the others require days of questing, foraging, and crafting, making this task much more challenging than Sweet Samaritan and Button-Maker. Fortunately, making all five popcorn buckets allows you to finish the Button-Maker task simultaneously, quickly knocking out two of the three event duties.
