i know everyone is nuts about popcorn buckets:)
wondering if there is a list of refill locations and if i can get a normal bucket anywhere. we would like to get a refillable bucket of popcorn but not anything special.
 
Usually there is some form of normal bucket option available at any stand that sells normal popcorn. Right now I know there are 50th anniversary ones (Mickey and friends in the outfits with park exclusive characters) floating around and KiteTails ones (Mickey and friends staring up in awe of Baloo and King Louie kites) in Animal Kingdom.

Personally, I think the KiteTails one is really nice looking from a design standpoint (and I think is the only KiteTails merchandise can'timaginewhy).

Edit:
Off the top of my head popcorn locations:

Epcot: Stand in front of Mission: Space. Stand in front of Figment. Stand in front of Creations (World Showcase side). Epcot Experience when it isn't being used as a booth. Fife and Drum in America. Apparently Canada will do a refill for you.

Magic Kingdom: A stand immediately when you enter, to the left. Stand to the right of the castle. Stand in near Tiki Room (smack between Pirates and Jungle Cruise). Across from Country Bears. In front of Diamond Horseshoe (I think). Near the entrance to Storybook Circus. There's one near Storybook Treats, tucked behind that castle architecture near Pinocchio's.

(Logically speaking Tomorrowland probably has one and I just can't remember where.)

Animal Kingdom: Most stands will have boxed popcorn. I know you can get fresh stuff at the stand towards the back of Chester and Hester's (near TriceraTop) and I think the Thirsty River Bar in Asia, at least.

Hollywood Studios: You're on your own for that one.

Regular popcorn buckets are available. Instead of refilling the bucket. You show your bucket and you get a box of popcorn.

I got a 50th regular bucket outside Canada in the World Showcase.

I don’t know if popcorn cart locations are marked on maps.
 
Since they are not refilling buckets, I wish they gave you a card you could use to get refill boxes. We like the idea of snacking on popcorn all week, but would prefer not to carry the bucket around.

Refill. But someone on the figment popcorn bucket thread said their original was filled a month ago.

Yes, it’s pretty much the same amount you’d get in a bucket.
 
The box they give you is a little bit bigger than the standard bucket. We usually fill the bucket them hand the rest to my granddaughter. It's probably a little less than a quarter of the bucket.

And in studios there is a refill stand outside the runaway railway on the side by Brown derby.

in epcot, the Canadian stand has maple flavored and the one between figment and soar in has cheese and sour cream, onion. It's not always been there during covid, but we usually at least look to fill it there.

are the maple and cheese flavored popcorns included in the $2 refills?
 
It has been when we've done it. As long as its not the prepackaged bags you see in the stores, a refill is a refill
 
Does anyone know if there are any other flavors besides the Maple and Cheese? I had seen an article about a Chocolate and Strawberry/Banana in Disneyland but did not know if that was being offered at Disney World as well.
