It’s National Popcorn Day~ Celebrate Disney Style!

Ahhh popcorn. There is something about that salty buttery goodness that sets a mouth watering. To refer to a classic children’s book, “I will eat it in the rain. And in the dark. And on a train. And in a car. And in a tree. Popcorn is so good, so good, you see!” BUT my favorite place to eat popcorn is Walt Disney World! There is something about it that just makes it yummier! In celebration of National Popcorn Day, we take a look at some eye popping popcorn facts!

Popcorn

Ahhh salty buttery goodness! Sometimes there is nothing better than a big ole bowl of popcorn. In celebration of National Popcorn Day, let's take a look at some fascinating popcorn trivia! 

1 / 4

True or False... that "fresh" popcorn smell is manufactured and pumped into the air. 

True

False

On top of the natural aromas, Disney uses machines to spread the smell. I have a family member who worked for one of the companies that held the WDW account. When she told me about the different smells pumped throughout the park, I was shocked. Once you think about it, it makes sense!

About how many bags of popcorn are popped each year at WDW? 

2 million

9 million

5 million

Sorry but that is not correct. The number is actually 5.2 million bags, which equals more than 345,000 lbs. Whichever way you "pop" it, that's more than I can fathom.

You got it! The number is actually 5.2 million bags, which equals more than 345,000 lbs. Whichever way you "pop" it, that's more than I can fathom.

True or False....popcorn at Disney is vegan. 

False

True

You would think it wasn't but it is! Confirmed by Disney and various other sites, since they used dairy-free butter flavoring, their popcorn is vegan AND gluten free! 

Yes! Confirmed by Disney and various other sites, since they used dairy-free butter flavoring, their popcorn is vegan AND gluten free!

Which popular brand of popcorn does Disney use? 

Act ll

Pop Secret

Orville Redenbacher's

Good try! Pop Secret became the official popcorn sold in Disney back in September 2015. Even though you can pop this brand in your own home, it just always tastes better at Disney! Copycat recipes say the key to achieving that special Disney taste is a seasoning called Flavacol.
