2017 popcorn buckets?

[my2sunshines]

Could someone who has been to the parks recently let me know what popcorn buckets are out for the refillable program? Are they the same containers as the program last year? Thank you!

Are they still doing the refill thing? I thought that ended months ago?

I did also but people have said doing it recently in another thread. I am not sure if it's limited to the generic buckets though.

they haven't been changing buckets too often and don't recall winter ever getting a new bucket. generally you see something near easterish, summer is generically when the generic buckets change, and then definitely in the fall/winter holidays for the fancier ones.

I had the "winter" bucket. It's very seasonal (characters riding through snow) so I won't be bringing it with me when we go this weekend. But some booths were handing them out, and others weren't.

oh that's new, I didn't notice that.. I'm used to the bucket being year round but make sense to change it more. Easier to say "you didn't buy that in the last 2 weeks" to get a low cost refill if they are seasonal.

They are still selling the refillable buckets as of this weekend.

I don't believe those buckets are refillable.

We got one this trip and have been refilling it daily. Will today too.
Ours us Epcot. They have the name of the park you bought it at on them.
Epcot's has the characters in space suits

So are the buckets refillable for the whole trip or just the day you purchase them? We are looking at a ten day trip next year and I thought they would be nice to have for an inexpensive snack (and we love popcorn) but if I have to buy a new one everyday it will add up very quickly

When it first came out it was supposed to only be good for the day you bought it, however as far as any reports have said and I can tell, Disney has always sold you the popcorn at the refillable price if you ask without any issues no matter what day you bought it on. We were there this past Sept. and bought one in DTD (wasn't even the refillable type -not shorter/wider, I asked twice and she said it was considered a refillable one) and we refilled it all week in all of the parks and they never asked anything about where or what day we bought the bucket on. So, unless somethings changed drastically over the last few months, I'm sure you can buy the refills for as long as you're there.

I'm local and bought a Christmas one. They told us it was for "length of stay". Asked how that worked since we come randomly and the CM basically said they'd refill it ($1.50 cost everywhere we've tried) at least until they had a new style and probably afterwards if you just asked. I'll be in Epcot Monday and will try then.

Just got back (Sat).. we got a bucket at MK.. it was not seasonal, but MK themed with characters riding the MK rides.. it was $1.50 to refill for the length of your stay. We filled it at all the parks.. several times.. no problem. Not sure how they would know your length of stay if you were paying cash or credit card? I suspect they change the buckets often.

When I bought my refill bucket back in October, I made sure to get a non-seasonal one just in case it was still being offered when I'm back in February. Hope to hear more reports from the coming weeks!

Would love to see some pictures of refillable buckets. We arrive on the 23rd and my kids definitely each want a bucket, but it would be nice to get an idea of what's available so we will know if they want to wait or get them early. (I am going to probably buy 1 a day to get all the kids covered)

When we were there in Nov., we bought a bucket. We refilled it almost daily during the length of our two week stay. No issues. It seemed they had different refillable buckets in different places. It basically seemed to me that that CMs would fill any standard bucket for the refillable price. They didn't seem to care. I noticed people in front of me at different stands would have different buckets than me or the one being sold at the popcorn stand. I didn't see anyone have any issues.

Does the refill include the specialty buckets or are those one go?
