The more popcorn the better, right?
When choosing the right snack at a Disney park, every family has a different answer.
There are Mickey ice-cream bars, churros, Dole Whip -- the list goes on and on. But there is one snack that not only fights an appetite but gives you a souvenir that you can use for future vacations.
Popcorn.
There are two places where popcorn tastes the best, inside a movie theater and on Main Street U.S.A.
Walt Disney World and Disneyland serve up mountains of popcorn every day, and some Disney super fans will indulge in numerous refills throughout their vacation.
The best way to save money and enjoy your popcorn too? Invest in a souvenir popcorn bucket.
These snack containers take the form of many shapes and come in a variety of sizes. It doesn't matter if you prefer eating your kernels out of a green alien from "Toy Story" an AT-AT from "Star Wars" or a standard bucket, there is a popcorn holder for everyone.
Sadly, the snack containers have a limited life-span.
The buckets are said to be good for “length of stay,” which can be interpreted differently if you are an Annual Passholder and live in Central Florida. According to a popcorn vendor, length of stay means you can use it until the bucket changes design.
There is no exact word on the rules of your popcorn bucket, so read the fine print when purchasing one. Some will say they are good for the length of stay some will not. Choose wisely.
We mentioned earlier that these buckets can save you money. We weren't kidding. At Disney World, you can buy a souvenir popcorn bucket for around $12 and then have them refilled during your stay at any stand and at any park for $2. Compare that to buying a single popcorn snack for around $5.
Here are some Disney popcorn facts that you may not have known.
Did you know there are different flavors of popcorn available at Epcot? Located near Journey Into Imagination With Figment, there’s a cart where you can choose from three different flavors: Cheddar Cheese, Buffalo Bleu Cheese and Sour Cream and Chive.
Did you know the popcorn served in Disney Parks is Pop Secret? Yes, the same product you can buy from your local supermarket. In September 2015, Pop Secret became the official popcorn of both Disney World and Disneyland.
Popcorn is a snack credit on the Disney Dining Plan. So is a refill. You’re welcome.
Be sure to pick up a bucket the next time you're visiting the parks. Follow your nose to the nearest popcorn stand, or check out the list of locations below.
