We went to HS and tried to get the savory/spicy popcorn refill and they told us they would only refill with the butter flavored popcorn. I thought all popcorn was available for refill, did they change it?

We are heading to Epcot today and I am hoping we can get the maple flavored.

Are there any other flavors in the parks to try?

Thanks,

Where is the savory popcorn at HS? I don't think I've ever seen it. Is it a regular popcorn stand? Oh, is this in Galaxy's Edge? If so, that's more of a specialty thing.

They used to have a popcorn stand in Epcot, between the Land and Imagination, that had cheese and I think another flavor in addition to butter, and you could get any of those. Now it's just the maple at Canada (but not the caramel at Werther's in Germany).






General InformationLocationsTips

Walt Disney World Resort refillable popcorn buckets are a trending item around the four Walt Disney World theme parks. They come in all shapes and sizes, and vary with the seasons. Popcorn buckets range from your typical bucket shape with a lid, to Star Wars space ships, to Mickey Mouse balloons, and more. Holiday themed popcorn buckets are available, too.  There are different buckets available at various locations around the parks. You can choose your favorite design to carry around for refills. This is a fun souvenir that can actually save some money on snacks during your trip!



General Information

Popcorn buckets vary in price. This is dependent on the bucket design. Popcorn buckets range in price from $13 to more than double that for the more intricate options. Each bucket refills for the same price at $2.25. This is a good deal when you consider that purchasing a single popcorn snack costs around $5.75. Popcorn bucket refills are a decent value for a shareable snack at a Disney park.



 

Popcorn buckets are advertised as refillable for length of stay and can be refilled at any location that sells popcorn. It does not matter what


You can smell it on every street corner. Nearly every child has their own bucket, and they are a great souvenir after the vacation has come to an end. But what do we know about Popcorn buckets and Popcorn refills at Walt Disney World?

Refillable Popcorn Buckets

Popcorn buckets range in price from $10 to $20 and everything in between. Every holiday, season, special occasion and land within a park has a different style of the bucket. Lucky for you, popcorn stands don’t care where you bought them from. As long as that bucket is available for sale, they are eligible for a discounted refill. This is why Popcorn buckets are advertised as refillable for the length of stay.

Each bucket refill costs $1.75. This is a good deal when you consider that purchasing popcorn in a standard container (usually a printed box like at the theatres) costs around $5.

Popcorn itself is a snack credit on the Disney Dining Plan, and so is a refill. A popcorn refill is not the best use of a Dining Plan snack credit if you are looking to maximize value, however. In order to maximize your snack credit, you will want to purchase something that is over $5. At the same time, the ini
