Hello, Katie,
Thank you for sending your question to planDisney. You've sent me to Disney popcorn daydreaming with your question! It is such an iconic Disney snack and seems to be served with a little extra magic coming from the popcorn stands with their amazing theming. Even with all the variety of popcorn stands, my favorite will always be the classic red one near City Hall at the Magic Kingdom. In fact, I love it so much that I recreated a miniature version of it to hold our popcorn kernels!
When you purchase a refillable souvenir popcorn bucket, it is a fabulous way to save money since you can get refills at a reduced price during your length of stay. This does mean, however, that they can not be used on future trips. Since many of the popcorn buckets change throughout the year, you may find a new fun one that you may want to add to your home. I keep eyeing the Mickey balloon-shaped ones as they are just so cute.
Speaking of popcorn, have you tried some of the other varieties of them like the super-delicious caramel corn from
Karamell-Küche from EPCOT, the sweet and savory mix from
Kat Saka's Kettle at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and the make-your-own flavors with chocolate drizzles and candy at
Main Street Confectionary at the Magic Kingdom? So many yummy popcorn choices! I recommend all of them!
Wishing you a magical trip! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Kara
