Anyone visiting Tokyo Disney, whether it is land or sea, will notice the large number of popcorn stands throughout the parks. Popcorn isn’t just a popular snack in Disney, it’s much, much more!

Disneyland and Disneysea have approximately fifteen popcorn stands throughout the parks. Popcorn stand locations and flavours are even listed on the park maps!

Most popcorn stands have a unique flavour and sometimes a unique popcorn bucket available for purchase! Popcorn buckets are usually around 1,400YEN to 2,100YEN. Once purchased, one can get the bucket completely refilled for 520YEN. At first, this might not seem like a good deal (and for those who rarely eat the popcorn at the parks then it might not be). However, savings is realized for those who purchase frequently (for example to try all the unique flavours). The popcorn buckets are usually quite large, so for 520YEN one gets a lot of popcorn. Also, popcorn buckets can be brought back into the parks again and again, so more money will be saved over time. For those who aren’t big popcorn consumers, a regular box can be purchased for 310YEN.

Popcorn buckets are not just purchased for cheaper popcorn! Some buckets are exclusive to certain events, celebrations and areas of the parks, making them also a collector’s item. There are some buckets always available such as the green alien from Toy Story, Mickey or Donald, and Minnie. For each holiday or special event, new bucket designs are advertised on the online event page or in event fliers within the parks.

In Tokyo Disneyland, curry popcorn can be found next to the Gazebo or Trading post, honey can only be found by Pooh’s Hunny Hut, and other flavours include chocolate, strawberry, soy sauce and butter, salt and caramel. 

While in Tokyo DisneySea, you can find unique flavours such as milk tea popcorn and corn soup. There are even special flavours of popcorn for holiday events such as white chocolate for Christmas time! Flavours are always changing, so each visit might just be different. Black pepper and apple cinnamon are known to randomly appear. Jalapeno cheddar also makes an appearance from time to time.

So on your next visit to Tokyo Disney, make sure to try out all the exciting popcorn flavours! Otherwise, you can also buy the seasoning available there to season your own fresh popcorn another day!
