Welcome to planDisney, Lara! Thank you for this interesting question, but now I'm craving a hot and fluffy snack! My husband is a popcorn connoisseur, so I understand that some people take this crunchy treat seriously. And
Walt Disney World Resort has mastered the art of the pop! I recently tried the
Outpost Popcorn Mix at Kat Saka's Kettle at
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in
Disney's Hollywood Studios, and even an amateur popcorn fan like me thought it was delightful! But you're curious about the refillable popcorn buckets, so let's see how we can get your favorite buttery snack.
I spoke to a friendly Cast Member who said the policy is that refillable popcorn buckets are only to be refilled with standard buttered popcorn. But he added that you never know when some pixie dust might come sprinkling down, and a Cast Member at the popcorn cart will fill a bucket with a fun flavor. I don't want to get your hopes up, Lara, but it can't hurt to ask! For example, I checked the menu at the
Popcorn Stand near the Canada Pavilion at
EPCOT, and the Maple Popcorn is the same price as the regular flavor. So this might be a good spot to ask about a flavored refill!
As for current flavor offerings, the Cast Member said those change and rotate too often to be listed anywhere. But one tip I have is to check the menu at the Popcorn Stand near
Journey Into Imagination with Figment at EPCOT. I've seen flavors like sour cream with chives and buffalo bleu cheese there!
Lara, I hope I've given you some pop-ular ideas to try on your upcoming visit. Please
stop by planDisney anytime. But you'll have to wait until I return from a popcorn run!
Magic awaits,
Elaine
