Hiya Elisa!
Welcome back to planDisney, and thank you for sending us this magical question. I always get so excited whenever I see questions from fellow Canadians in our queue, and it is an absolute honour to help you plan your Disney vacation!
As someone who adores Disney popcorn, I am glad you are considering using a popcorn bucket on your next vacation! Popcorn buckets are a great way to have a snack on the go and stay hanger-free between meals, but they also make for very affordable snacks. Plus, the adorable designs make some of the best souvenirs! Unfortunately, you would only be able to refill your popcorn bucket at the special price, and additional portions would be regularly priced. However, you can purchase more than one popcorn bucket and use them at home! If you also want to try different flavours, you can keep them separate from regular popcorn. For example,
maple popcorn is available for popcorn bucket refills at the Canada pavilion at
EPCOT, and it is one of my absolute favourites!
I am happy to confirm that water fountains are still available throughout the Disney theme parks and resort hotels! Indeed, you can use these water fountains to refill your water bottle and stay hydrated, though I personally prefer stopping by
Quick Service Restaurants to get some ice as well. Since Disney Resort's Quick Service Restaurants usually have fountain drinks, you can also fill up your water bottle with chilled water and ice before heading to the parks. We Canadians especially need all the tricks to stay cool!
I hope this was helpful, Elisa, and that you and your Ohana will have the best day ever on your next Disney vacation. If you have any other questions leading up to your trip, please don't hesitate to
reach back out! You've got a friend in me here at planDisney.
Have a magical day,
Ariane
