Yes, there will be an R2-D2 popcorn bucket that I believe comes filled with caramel popcorn and will be available from some of the ODV carts in Tomorrowland

Hey guys!!

So the hubby and I and our 5 yr old went to Disney last night. I knew that they were doing the special preview but had no idea about the soft opening. We got on the train for our grand trip around Disneyland. Found out from a couple behind us on the train and got off at tomorrowland. We waited a little over an hour..but it was so worth it. I can't wait to ride it again. My hubby is jealous because he forgot his hat and it got to ride it twice..

Can't wait to see this R2d2 bucket....just might have to buy it! we will be back at Disneyland tomorrow...maybe we can ride again.

Don't you love unexpected treats like that? Glad you got to ride. We rode at WDW last week during soft openings, and I agree...the wait is worth it!

Should also be available at DHS- I think they go for $15 (plus sales tax)

I also wouldn't mind some of the flavored popcorns to come over from TDL (totally agree on the soy sauce popcorn).

I wonder if there's any thought to bring that strange sea salt ice cream (in the weird clamshells) for when Little Mermaid opens- then they could also tie it in with Shellie May to add to the expanding Duffy universe.

Yay - we are totally getting a R2 bucket then. We'll look next time we are at DHS. Avoiding that place for awhile.

I remember you liking that weird ice cream. lol!

My memory is more of being scolded by a CM for eating while on the DisneySea transit steamer (granted, I should have known better as the whole eating on the go thing isn't common).

And sea salt ice cream is relatively tame in comparison to some of the other snacks (still can't replace a Dole Whip). There were some other ice cream treats I've enjoyed since in Tokyo- a nice tiramisu ice cream sandwich in TDS. Then over by Pooh they have a honey vanilla ice cream in a very nice ceramic souvenir cup.

On my last visit I tried these fried mochi balls which were quite good.

But what I'd really like are those maple churros and they also had this thing which was almost like a chocolate filled churro but the pastry portion was a little different (very good though). Not sure if I'd have the sesame or honey-lemon churro though.

And the popcorn buckets still are much better at the Tokyo parks (and a very good deal for the refills).

I stopped by the park today for a short time. They are only allowing the Annual Pass preview winners on today. No soft opening.
