Between June 26 and September 1 Disney will be offering a souvenir popcorn bucket that may be refilled. The bucket can be purchased for an initial cost of $10 and refills will cost $1.50 each after.
Guests can purchase the bucket at select cart locations and the refillable popcorn can be purchased at the four theme parks, two water parks, Disney Springs, and ESPN Wide World of Sports wherever you see a popcorn cart.
If this is length of stay it's quite the deal, if it's one day only then not so much.

Considering how little it costs to make popcorn, I'm surprised this isn't a full-time thing. At an initial purchase price of $10, they've already covered the costs and then some, not to mention that, at $1.50 a refill, they're making about $1.45 profit off of every one. The bucket should have a lid though. Less spillage, and that Florida humidity will sog that corn in no time.
First trip, Christmas 1971.
Last Trip, Oct. 2017 - ICOT20!

That is a shame. Universal has had it forever. Bring back a 5 year old bucket and refills are about $1.50
Not that I ever bring one back, I hate hauling it around the parks LOL

Sea World does this. You show your bucket and the popcorn in the bags is at a reduced price. I think it was $1.25 last time I was there. I think it's a good thing.
Dining Cast have reported that the offering is being extended through October 31, 2016 with a new "autumn" bucket.
Pricing for the autumn program will be the same at $10 with $1.50 refills for length of stay.
