| Canada maple popcorn refill | $2.99, Oct 6 report (was $2.79) | Distinct flavored refill price; not universal standard refill. SNACK |
| Basic refillable bucket initial purchase | $14.29, March 10, 2026 guide | Historical 2026 snapshot, November initial-bucket price not verified; includes discounted refills during trip at participating stands. POP |

The March guide describes refills “throughout your trip”; no current official maximum number of days, old-bucket reuse entitlement, flavored-refill coverage or cross-trip validity was established. Ask the cart; special event/limited-release buckets may have purchase limits. A bucket souvenir is not lifetime free popcorn.
Resort refillable mugs
$22.99 reported in AllEars September 19, 2026 article, 16-ounce insulated RFID mug, refills for stay up to 14 days at participating Disney hotel self-service beverage stations. Fountain drinks/coffee/tea, not alcohol, milk or real juices; not a parks or Springs unlimited-drink pass. RFID enforces a short refill interval; no exact minute rule verified. Price checked November 7, but not re-quoted at checkout; tax inclusion unstated. MUG
Don’t reuse a physical old mug expecting its deactivated entitlement to work automatically; program activation and any premium stainless/design price are not audited. Don’t use the September article’s older à-la-carte beverage prices for November savings calculations—October 6 report raised examples. MUG SNACK

Memory Maker, AP download add-on and included Jollywood downloads are in photo study. Character merchandise/themed statues are not evidence that their character greets at that location. Souvenir budgeting should separate purchase price from recurring refill cost and eligibility duration.
