Snack fans rejoice! A new Magic Key refillable popcorn bucket is now available at the Disneyland Resort! Always a popular promotion, this special deal returned for 2024 as of January 9. It allows Magic Key holders to purchase a bucket with an exclusive design for $12.75 including tax. It includes a generous serving of regular popcorn at the time of purchase. When it’s time for another helping, unlimited refills are available for $1.75 each. These come in the form of a standard scoop of popcorn in a box, which normally sells for $5.75. That’s a savings of $4 on each refill!
So what’s the fine print? A valid Magic Key must be presented at the time of initial purchase. No discounts apply to the cost of the bucket. Both a valid Magic Key and the bucket must be presented for the discounted refills. The buckets are available from now until they sell out, or through February 27, 2024 when the deal expires. The buckets can also be refilled through February 27.

Bonus Fun Facts About Disneyland Popcorn
- Did you know that the popcorn at the Disneyland Resort is fully vegan and gluten free? That means that everyone can enjoy a taste of buttery, salty goodness!
- Did you know that every popcorn cart in the Disneyland Resort prepares their popcorn to a slightly different recipe? Some feature more salt, some more butter flavor, and others max out on both! I recommend that you check out the popcorn cart on small world Promenade (by the Matterhorn) if you’re a fan of both butter and salt like I am!
