    If I bring an old popcorn bucket can I refill it on my trip?

    Patricia, I'm thrilled you popped by planDisney to get the scoop on popcorn buckets. 

    Snapping on my MagicBand+, donning my Minnie ears, and taking in the scent of popcorn on Main Street, U.S.A... these are a few of my favorite things!

    Popcorn buckets are a-maize-ing! You can purchase these for your trip and enjoy discounted refills during your stay. This offer applies to buckets bought and used during your current trip. 

    While this is likely the kernel of information you hoped to hear, there is some good news. Walt Disney World has new popcorn buckets available that celebrate the holiday season. Mickey in a red truck elicits so many warm feelings! I was also happy to see a gold rotating ornament-style bucket returning to Hollywood Studios this year. Somehow, I managed to leave Walt Disney World without this last year, and I've regretted it. It's on my list for my upcoming trip. You can also still purchase the classic buckets and enjoy the refill prices during your trip. 

    In addition to the traditional popcorn kiosks, some specialty shops offer extraordinary popped treats. The Popcorn in Canada has a maple flavor! You can get a new souvenir bucket here and get refills with the sweet flavors of Canada! 

    For me, there is nothing butter than Werther’s Original Caramel popcorn at Karamell-Küche. Unlike Canada, this is not included in the popcorn bucket deal, but it is the best use of a snack credit if you have a Disney dining plan. My trips are not complete without it. It's sooooo good!

    Patricia, I hope you enjoy the most wonderful time of the year at the Most Magical Place on Earth! If you have any other questions, please come back to planDisney

    Magic Awaits!
