They really should just come out with a passholder only bucket like DL has. Put the year on it and sell it for $10-15. Take the bucket and proof of AP and get $1 regula until the new year comes
But if it's dated as being good until Dec 31, 2018, does last very long with those Christmas trips.
What does it cost to "chip" a paper cup? Could that be applied to a bucket?
I'm with Jeremy on this one...what does length of stay actually mean? Every time we go I always buy a new bucket, but if everyone else is reusing theirs, then I'm going to do the same!
They had then at the popcorn stand in the main courtyard, closest to The Little Mermaid show
Unless it was something new I never paid more then a buck fifty for my refill and that was even canada and the world cart with cheddar and my new fave sour cream and onion.My friend came back from WDW yesterday and they filled their buckets multiple times during their stay. She mentioned that it was 1.50$ for the refill except on their last day at MK where the price had gone up by 30 cents (cart in Adventureland). Do they fluctuate the price of refills when it's a more busy time?

I assume you’re saying they filled old buckets? Herein is my initial issue with this — why was i denied a refill when your friends were not? Ultimately, some can say I was “wrong” because I brought an older bucket and not one I bought on this current stay - and I was, I’ll admit - but I’d like to see some consistency here...assuming they used the older bucket.
It’s VERY easy from a customer service standpoint to simply point to the new buckets and say “these are the only ones we refill currently.”
Once again, I don’t necessarily care that I was denied a refill (in fact, it wasn’t me that was denied, but a family member), but I think they need to become consistent. That said, I do plan on buying a new bucket next time.
I think their biggest concern was the price difference from the begining of the week to the end.I assume you’re saying they filled old buckets?

I'm just going to say something, and its not against anybody on her for using your popcorn bucket on your next visit. I get it, It's the cheapest snack.
But just like the refillable mugs you pay 19. You can use for the length of stay, usually that lenght of stay is 14 days and that is how long your chip is good for, but if you are there longer you let them know and they reactivate it. This is my fear. These refillable buckets are nice, but they are not at Disneyland, well for AP people only and that is only sometime. Who knows if they decide to pull them if people abuse the "I'm going to bring my bucket from six moths ago, or a year and see if I can still get the buck fifty refill."
The problem is there is no chip to say how long the length of stay is, and they depend on the buyers honesty, but I get it. I fly, I don't want to have to keep buying new buckets, why can't I just bring the one I already have and get the refill. Fine, no problem, but at least pay the ten dollars buy in. Just like the soda refill cups. You CAN bring your old ones to use for your trip, you just need to pay to reactivate it.
I know we all want to save money, and this really is the best value for your buck, at disney. I mean at home I barely pay two bucks for a bag of popcorn. So yes. I will probably bring my pail from last trip, but I'll also buy a new one to give to the people I'm traveling with so they have a cheap souviner. and we can split the popcorn between the buckets.
Only speaking for myself...yes.I think a bucket cost $10? Is it really worth the hassle to pack it in your suitcase and risk felling like a cheater or for a cm to call you out on it for $10?
Is that the cart that offers kettle corn?As far as the price varying, I had the experience last year of the refill being more expensive at the cart outside of The Land at Epcot. It was more expensive there than where we filled it in Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom.
