Popcorn

[klfay80]

I am here now and I have a question. If you buy the refillable popcorn bucket... can it be refilled in any park for the length of your stay, or just the park you bought it in

You can get it refilled in any park

Ok thank you so much

Make sure you get the flavored Popcorn in Epcot, you can have your bucket refilled with it for the same price as the normal popcorn.

I've always wondered, how long are they good for? Are CMs trained only to refill current designs?

They are good for THAT trip. The CM know old designs. The question is, how often do they change designs? There's a lot of room for abuse.
See, refillable mugs. They finally came up with a solution for those. I'd guess popcorn can't be far behind. I noticed at DL they got rid of refillable period. Same buckets as WDW but no refills.

I don't see Disney going to chips in the buckets. They do change them enough but sometimes not for a few months or so. Disney isn't losing money either on them either if guests say use them for two trips.

No they won't do chips but they could add a date it was issued if they were truly concerned
AP holders are probably the most likely to go often enough to reuse them
But you are right, popcorn is cheap, plus sponsored, so they aren't losing money on it
Granted same for sodas, they pay practically nothing for it

It does make one wonder why they completely eliminated refill option in DL

I believe it was a health department thing.

Heck I had a person in front of me ask about filling a Chip and Dale Tokyo bucket and the CM said if Disney made it we refill it for $2.

Oh and I wanted the bucket!!!!

I know there is maple popcorn in Canada. Not sure of any others.

 

[DisneynBison]

Between figment and inventions west was 3 kinds. Sour cream and chive, buffalo blue cheese and cheddar cheese.

The Flavored Popcorn is in Epcot between the Imagination pavilion and The Land. There is Cheddar Cheese, Buffalo Bleu Cheese, and Sour Cream and Chive.

I've always wondered how long they'll refill special edition popcorn buckets. I have the alien bucket that was $25. Do they refill that bucket as well as the AT-AT, AK Lotus, etc and for how long? For the price of the more expensive buckets it should be discounts anytime you bring them

Really? I had no idea...

Can you buy a popcorn bucket at the resorts or DS, or only in the parks?

Not at the resorts. No idea about DS

I'd have to assume they'll refill any still being sold, since there's no way to know if you bought it then or in the past.
Old designs, I'd have to assume not since they'll know there's no way you bought it on that trip
Despite the price, I'm pretty sure the wording on the refills is for a single trip, not lifetime of the bucket.
