Refillable Popcorn bucket tips?

[VeronicaZS]

I think we will make use of the refillable popcorn bucket this November but this will be our first trip without a stroller and I know I will end up being responsible for remembering the bucket each day and carrying it around. I thought clipping it to my purse strap may make things easier. Can anyone recommend a clip that is lightweight and easy to open & close? Any other tips for dealing with the bucket at the parks? Thanks!

Well the handle itself comes apart from the side of the bucket, so we use that to hook it onto a belt loop or a bag we are carrying. Of course, that handle eases becomes detached at times as well. That's my best advice though. You could always just get a large carabiner clip too.

I've been just using the handle and hooking it to my bag without any issues. Super easy.

You can unhook the handle, pull it through your purse strap, then reconnect it. No need to buy anything extra, but I seen people post about using a Carabiner clip.

There is a popcorn stand near the Imagination pavilion in Epcot that has 3 flavors of popcorn: Buffalo blue cheese, sour cream & chive and cheddar. You can get a mixture of all 3 flavors, or just 1 or 2.

You can get maple flavored popcorn in Epcot near the Canadian pavilion. Maple flavor is also available in the Magic Kingdom's Frontier Land across from the Country Bears on the waterfront.

Everywhere else has regular butter and salt flavor. If you go for a refill at a stand that doesn't pop it right there, you will get it in a cardboard box as opposed to them filling your bucket. It wasn't as fresh, but it made sharing between two people easier by pouring some into the bucket.

Back in our resort room, I used dish soap to wash the bucket in between uses. I also had gallon size Ziplock bags and emptied the bucket into them a few times so I could get more popcorn in the park.

Best advice I have is to get one early in your trip because you will want to use it often.

Thanks! I didn’t realize the handles detached, does anyone know if this is historically true for the holiday designs? During the holidays do you have the option to buy a regular bucket or a holiday one?

Don't leave it on the monorail after only a couple days of use Ugh! I did that this August.

The only bucket I saw for sale in September was a Halloween one. It was very cute though. I left the one I bought with my nephew who stayed at WDW a few days longer than I did. It would make a nice container for Halloween candy.
