    We still have our popcorn buckets from 2019! Can we bring them to the parks and buy refills?

    Hi there, Fiona!

    There's no feeling quite like the magical anticipation that begins when you have a Walt Disney World Resort vacation on the horizon. I'll be heading back to The Most Magical Place on Earth just next week, and I am positively bubbling with excitement. One of my favorite stages of preparation is choosing which magical merchandise will make the trip with me each vacation. I love that packing provides an opportunity to sort through previous purchases and relive the magical memories that are tied to each item. Although Walt Disney World Resort's popcorn buckets are only refillable during the vacation the bucket was purchased, I've been known to reuse my favorites as a park-day purse, so they still make it into my suitcase! 

    I'm sure you were not hoping to hear you would need to purchase a new popcorn bucket during your vacation, Fiona, but I want to assure you that this isn't bad news! Walt Disney World's popcorn buckets come in such fun shapes and designs, so I'm sure you'll find one that you just have to have! Personally, I've been eyeing the Pumbaa-shaped popcorn bucket in Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park for a few visits. Additionally, my pal Alison helpfully compiled a list of the designs she saw over the summer if you're interested in knowing what your options might be. 

    As a bonus tip: Did you know that the fun designs aren't just limited to popcorn buckets? You'll also find seasonal drink sippers available at select locations across Walt Disney World Resort. 

    Thanks for popping by planDisney, Fiona! If you are in need of any additional assistance as your countdown continues, feel free to come see us again. We're always happy to help!
