Thanks for popping by planDisney, Katelyn! I hope your
Walt Disney World Resort vacation is going well and you've located the perfect popcorn bucket. My husband loves that crunchy, salty treat, so it's a must-eat for us. Let's see what we can find out about current specialty buckets for your trip.
Pinning down the latest popcorn bucket offerings is challenging because availability varies by season and even by day. Popular designs can be snapped up quickly, while some classics remain consistent. Holiday buckets can also come and go, so it's a moving target!
Last week, I was on a Disney cruise and saw a Monsters, Inc. popcorn bucket featuring Sulley and Mike on board. I heard it might be available in the theme parks during the holidays, but that will be a pixie-dusted surprise.
As far as what you'll find at
Disney's Hollywood Studios, I saw the Perfect Picnic Popcorn Bucket a few weeks ago. This colorful popcorn holder ties into
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway; nothing can stop us now! A friend also recently saw the Alien Pizza Planet Truck Bucket, so look for this Toy Story tribute at the popcorn carts in the park. If you're attending
Disney Jollywood Nights, watch for any holiday-themed buckets that might "pop" up!
Over at
EPCOT, I only saw the standard refillable bucket featuring Tiana, Simba, and more. I like this style because it clips easily to a backpack, has a top, and holds a lot of buttery goodness! But keep an eye out for other specialty styles—you never know what might appear. My favorite popcorn of all is the
Maple Popcorn at the Canada Pavilion. A bonus tip is that you can choose this sweet and salty version as your refill!
Kately, I wish I had more definitive news to share, but popcorn buckets are an ever-changing commodity in the theme parks. I look at it as part of the fun! Have a fantastic time, and pop on by
planDisney again.
Magic awaits,
Elaine
