Popcorn Bucket Chatter

[lovethattink]

We bought this one during MVMCP 2023, but I don't know whether or not it is exclusive to the party.

While it was exclusive to the WDW party, that isn’t the only place it was sold.

I've seen that they recently changed the "regular" popcorn bucket to have Tiana. Is it just Princess and the Frog themed? I know about the FIgment bucket for FARTS but are there any other "regular" buckets? (I planned to get one for our upcoming trip but I have a bitter teenager who loved his Splash Mountain and likely won't want a Tiana one.)

We're here now, and the regular popcorn bucket is not just Tiana, though she is predominant. I've seen Simba on there, Stich too. I haven't taken the chance to really look at it though, and I don't have a picture. I'll try to remember to look tomorrow and report back.

I should add that it's a conglomerate of disney characters, all placed randomly it seemed, with lots of extraneous colors. I did get the Pumba one at AK today!

I should have gotten the Pumba one on Saturday

I know this is an old thread but I was searching to see if anyone has seen a balloon popcorn bucket at Epcot recently so I know whether to search! Perhaps it has been replaced by the new Figment one?

Moving your question here.

Are they currently selling the yellow lid AP bucket?

Is there a seasonal bucket for the Flower & Garden festival?

Not sure if I should post this here since I'm not asking about a collectible bucket but...

Last time we were in WDW 2 years ago we got a basic refillable bucket and I was wondering if I could bring it for my upcoming trip this September?

Refillable popcorn buckets are good for length of stay. They are not eligible for refill price on subsequent trips.

Thanks for the quick reply. FYI I wasn't trying to stir the pot; I honestly didn't know that was a rule and thought the buckets could be used on subsequent trips. I'm glad I asked now and didn't get embarrased by getting yelled at by a popcorn kiosk cast member lol

LOL! Yup! Totally understand you weren't trying to stir the pot. It's just one of those reminders to others that needs to occasionally be posted.

New popcorn bucket at Canada. No longer selling the 100 bucket.

What is the cheapest refillable popcorn bucket currently being sold? I saw a blog say there were some for $10, but I thought the basic bucket was $13 now.

Does anyone know what buckets are available beyond Pumba and the new green lid one with Mickey and Tiana?

Yes, a basic reusable bucket is $13 right now.

There’s a Timon sipper cup to go with the Pumba popcorn bucket and it is adorable.

I was seriously tempted to buy if only it wouldn’t just be to look at it going “OMG how cute!”

Are they still selling silver "100" balloon popcorn buckets at WDW?

This isn't exactly on topic, but related: I know the popcorn carts display a sign that they use Pop Secret popcorn - does anyone know which Pop Secret microwave product is closest to what they sell in the parks? Butter? Movie theater butter? Something else? Niche question, I know, but Disers usually come through for me

To put the magic back into your souvenir popcorn bucket (back on topic) I recommend Popping the pop secret jumbo popcorn in a whirly-pop using grapeseed oil or a 75:25 blend of canola and refined coconut oil. Finish the popcorn with flavor-col. If flava-col isn’t available… get it. In the mean time, pickling salt will get you the right texture.

For microwaving, pop-secret doesn’t have an option without that gross butter flavor oily mess. Instead use Orville Redenbacher Simply Salted and finish with a light dusting of flava-col.
