Hi Candace!
So happy you popped by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with a great question about a topic near and dear to so many people: POPCORN! One of the best deals on Disney Cruise Line is the refillable popcorn bucket. My family can eat our weight in popcorn while watching the Broadway-caliber shows in the
Walt Disney Theatre and the first-run movies in the
Buena Vista Theatre.
Merchandise available on a Disney cruise is constantly changing, and this includes popcorn buckets. After checking with my friends at Disney Cruise Line, we cannot say for certain just which fun buckets will be available on your particular sailing. I had a friend on the Disney Wonder this week who tells me that there is currently a popcorn bucket with Mickey exploring Walt Disney World, but no specialty ones at the moment. However, with your sail date a month away, something new is bound to POP up!
The best place to check for news about merchandise that's fresh out of the popcorn popper is the
Disney Parks Blog. Additionally, my friend Tony really knows his way around
Disneyland and also collecting popcorn buckets. The two popcorn buckets that I've heard about most recently at Disneyland are the Steamboat Minnie Balloon for Annual Passholders and the Millennium Falcon. So that may help you decide whether to grab one at Disneyland or wait for one on the Disney Wonder. Or here's my kernel of advice: get one at each destination!
I'll be on the
Disney Wonder in a few weeks and will be happy to report back if you'd like to send another question about this or anything else relating to your upcoming cruise. Wishing you a WONDERful land and sea vacation!
SEA ya real soon!
Sherry
