I admidt it. I have a problem. I'm addicted to WDW popcorn. I go through two buckets a day when I'm there. I always stop off at the cart on the way out of the park for a bucket. Back at the resort, I catch up on SportsCenter while stuffing my gullet with more popcorn.

Now I have more buckets than I know what to do with. Any ideas of how to reuse them? My uncle wanted one for a planter and my nephew got one for his crayons.

Any more creative ideas?
 
I also would like an answer to this
So I am bumping it :)
 
I use mine to save change for my next Disney trip.
 
or sell them for really cheap to someone here. When we go we are on a strict budget, so the only "treat" we buy at the parks is the mickey bar.
 

One tip I heard here is to take them back and fill them with pop instead of buying a refillable mug. popcorn:: :drinking1 :rolleyes1

We do the same thing!
 
We use them for popcorn when we watch movies. The kids love them we plan on getting more when we go back.
 
we have one that I use to store batteries in and kept on the closet shelf...pretty poor use of a souvenir I know :rolleyes:

:rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: :rotfl: :rotfl2: ......TOO funny!
 
We put microwave popcorn in them and use them when we watch movies! popcorn::
 
Just today we took ours to the beach and used them as sandbuckets.
 
I use mine on my desk to put my Scrapbooking scraps (trash) in when I am working on my albums. Most of the scraps are small and fit just fine in there. It is also convenient for carrying scrapbooking pens and scissors in.

Won't help everyone, but it works for me!
 
such fabulous ideas, now i gotta get some popcorn on this next trip!! i want one :teeth:

Leave it to the DIS to come up with creative ideas for EVERYTHING!
 
My favorite use of them is for popcorn:: during a movie night.
I have aslo used them for:
-saving change
-bird seed scoop
-serving food at parties
-bringing snacks to work
-sometimes I will use one as a catch all for smaller items and go through it at the end of the week and put stuff where it belongs
-Marker holder
-Vase
 
I use mine to store drinking straws and Hershey's miniatures. And when we're having a BBQ in the backyard I also put potato chips or pretzels or "popcorn" or ice cubes in them. I have even put potato salad, macoroni salad and cole slaw in them at BBQ's. Of course not all together. :teeth: LOL
 
My DD has used them for storing little Disney toys and Barbie accessories like shoes and clothes.

We do the same!!! I have four, but I definitely do not need any more than that....now we just buy boxes of pop, not more buckets.
