In the Parks Fest event, one of your main goals is to craft an array of unique popcorn buckets in Disney Dreamlight Valley. Figuring out what they are and how to make them is fairly complex, though, since you’re only given vague titles like A Shining Icon to work with.
The name of each event duty is a small clue meant to point you in the right direction, but none of them gives you enough information to know exactly what needs to be done. If you’re struggling to solve this one, here’s how to complete A Shining Icon in Disney Dreamlight Valley.

How to complete the A Shining Icon duty in Disney Dreamlight Valley
To finish the A Shining Icon quest, you need to craft one Metallic Mickey Popcorn Bucket. Mickey Mouse is the iconic mascot of Disney, and the bucket you’re making is shiny, so he’s the “shining icon” referenced in this hint.
For this duty, you first need to gather all of the required materials for the popcorn bucket. The resources you need are an array of colorful Parks Fest Buttons. Once you have them, you can head to any crafting station around the valley to get crafting.
How to craft Metallic Mickey Popcorn Bucket in Disney Dreamlight Valley
The Metallic Mickey Popcorn Bucket can be crafted using Green Buttons, Blue Buttons, Purple Buttons, and Flower Buttons in DDV. Here’s how many are required and what you need to do to earn each type.
| Button | Amount | How to get |
|---|---|---|
| Green Button | 40 | Earned by completing daily and weekly event quests. |
| Blue Button | 15 | Can be fished out of white ripple spots in the water around Dazzle Beach and Peaceful Meadow. |
| Purple Button | Five | Can be crafted using one Blue Button, two Red Buttons, and 100 Dreamlight. |
| Flower Button | 20 | Can be found in the wild around the Peaceful Meadow and Plaza while the Parks Fest event is live. |
If you crafted the Metallic Mickey Popcorn Bucket during a past run of the Parks Fest event and don’t want to spend time gathering the resources to make another one for this task, consider using the Uncrafting Station to break it down and remake it. You unlock this machine during The Uncrafting Station quest, which is the Cheshire Cat’s level seven friendship quest.
Using this machine costs a small Dreamlight fee, but it’s worth the price to avoid gathering all of the required materials again. You can also break down any other popcorn buckets you may have to earn materials for this one.
A Shining Icon reward in Disney Dreamlight Valley
Completing the A Shining Icon duty gets you the Metallic Mickey Popcorn Bucket furniture item and the Metallic Mickey’s Handheld Popcorn Bucket accessory item. The furniture version of this bucket can be placed anywhere around the valley, including inside your houses or anywhere outside as a decorative item. The accessory version is an item you can equip and carry around.
There are plenty of other popcorn buckets you can make once you have this one in your collection. Next, consider working on the Oh, Bother, Craftily Ever After, and Destination: Imagination duties to unlock three more.
