    Hi! I just purchased the Monsters, Inc. Popcorn bucket from the website today. Will I be able to bring it for popcorn refills when I visit in in December of this year?

    Hey there, Jessica!

    It looks like you're planning to celebrate the most wonderful time of the year in The Most Magical Place on Earth. How exciting! Like you, I'll be celebrating the season with a visit to Walt Disney World Resort, and I just can't wait to see the halls of Main Street, U.S.A. decked with garland and Hollywood Boulevard aglow with the reflection of neon light on tinsel. 

    Of course, the theme parks don't have to dress for the holidays alone. Guests are more than welcome to wear their holiday finery as well. Whether this is a 'tacky' Christmas sweater, merry mouse ears, or a seasonal popcorn bucket, there are so many ways to add a bit of holiday cheer to your wardrobe, and your new Sulley Santa Popcorn Bucket sounds like the perfect accessory for a December vacation!

    Because the Disney Store stipulates that popcorn is not included, and refillable popcorn buckets purchased in the theme parks only include discounted refills for the length of the visit of purchase, unfortunately, your online purchase will not be eligible for popcorn at the refill rate during your vacation. 

    If you'd like to make use of your new purchase during your upcoming visit, you could either purchase a different refillable popcorn bucket in the theme parks but have the refills placed into your Sulley bucket or treat your unused popcorn bucket as a park-day purse. This is my go-to use for the Vampire Stitch bucket my pal Melissa sent me all the way from Disneyland Resort! 

    While I'm sure this isn't the answer you were hoping for, Jessica, I hope this helps as you make plans for your upcoming visit, and as always, if you'd like any additional assistance as you finalize the plans for vacation, feel free to come see us again here at planDisney!
