Hi Allison!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Your question has me smiling because I LOVE purchasing the specialty popcorn buckets at
Walt Disney World Resort while my family visits around Christmastime! When I decorate the house for the holidays, I line the popcorn buckets up across our upright piano. They're one of the first things people see when they walk through the door! This past year's bucket was Pluto in a festive holiday sweater - so cute!
Not only are the popcorn buckets adorable, the popcorn inside the buckets is scrumptious! I'm happy to say that the popcorn I've eaten while sailing aboard Disney Cruise Line is just as yummy! Unfortunately, you won't receive $1.50 refills if you bring the popcorn buckets previously purchased from Walt Disney World. I do have good news for you, though! Currently, if you purchase a specialty popcorn bucket aboard Disney Cruise Line, you will receive refills for $1.50! (Prices and offers are always subject to change.) I just spoke with a friend, who also happens to be a panelist on the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and she said she purchased a Marvel-themed popcorn bucket this past week on her Disney Cruise and refills only cost $1.50!
It has been my experience that popcorn is typically sold only around the times when movies, Broadway-style shows and
entertainment are offered. Once onboard, you'll notice that entertainment is offered throughout the day and night, so I think you'll be able to enjoy your favorite snack often!
Allison, if you have any other questions, please sail back and visit us again! I'm wishing you a yummy voyage!
