Disney-owned locations reopened today in Disney Springs and we 👏 have 👏 questions!
Popcorn in Disney Springs
If you know us, then you KNOW we miss our Disney snacks. We’ve been investigating all those snack locations to see what iconic Disney eats are available to us once more. We’ve spotted Mickey Pretzels, Popcorn, and even DOLE WHIP. One thing is heavy on our minds though — will Cast Members still refill our refillable popcorn buckets with the added health measures? We found out!
We were wandering Disney Springs today when an amazing development caught our eye — a popcorn stand, popping away! We headed over to snag some of our favorite Disney snacks and to see what sort of health changes they had made.
Popcorn
Like in all other dining locations in Disney Springs, distancing markers are in place to keep guests and Cast Members safe. We snagged a scoop of popcorn to munch on but not before asking if they would fill our refillable buckets for us in the future.
Snack and Cocktail Carts
Well, it turns out that YES, they will fill refillable souvenir buckets. They, however, weren’t selling the refillable popcorn buckets today. You had to already have a refillable popcorn bucket with you.
Refilled Bucket
Cast Members took our bucket from us, touched it as little as possible, and wiped the handle down before handing it back to us; of course, filling it up with delicious Disney popcorn in the meantime!
Refillable Popcorn Bucket
So yup! You can still get those wonderful $2 refills at popcorn stands — you just won’t have any luck buying a new bucket for the time being.

Thank you for this post. I was sure the Disney refillable popcorn bucket would be a thing of the past. Thank goodness that does not seem to be the case! I’ve been using one of mine to eat popcorn from at home weekly during the closure. It’s not as magical at home, but better than nothing. So, yes, I will definitely be bringing my bucket back to the parks when we are able to return!
Since they are not selling buckets, I have one from the last time I went a year and half ago. Should I plan to take it?
Andreana, we were able to get refills with a bucket we brought, and usually they’ll refill older buckets. However, your mileage might vary depending on the Cast Member.
