food IS a theme park
It’s almost time for another NEW Disney movie release, and we’re stoked!
“Elio” is coming!
Yes, Lilo & Stitch just debuted in theaters a few weeks ago and is still doing very well at the box office, but another film is right around the corner. Elio comes out on June 20th (it was originally June 13th, but then got pushed back), and to celebrate, there’s an adorable new popcorn bucket coming to your local AMC Theater!
It’s hard to miss the AMC Theater in Disney Springs since it’s such a big building, but did you know this isn’t just any normal AMC Theater?

Well, it can be, but there are also theaters here that offer a unique experience that allows you to eat an actual meal (not just snacks and an Icee, although you can do that too) while watching a movie! It’s called the Dine-In Experience at the AMC Theater in Disney Springs, and while there are many of them all over the country, many guests visiting Disney World may have never seen an experience like this before. If you find yourself on a longer Disney World trip and have some time, here’s how you can experience this for yourself!
Is there something in the air? Did AMC give one rogue employee full creative control of the merchandise department? We don’t know what’s going on at the AMC Theaters headquarters, but those mad geniuses seem to know how to get people talking.

There’s been a LOT happening with AMC Theaters lately. The Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concert film was a wild success, and — of all things — an AMC popcorn bucket went totally viral during the Dune 2 release. Even SNL was talking about it! AMC is not afraid to push the envelope. And now, they’ve teased a NEW souvenir that has some real potential to rival the infamous Dune 2 popcorn bucket. Wait until you see it.
Serious question: what do they put in Disney popcorn buckets to make them so popular? Magic? Are we missing something? Okay, we will admit that Disney has come up with some pretty cute popcorn buckets in the past. Most recently, a 100th Anniversary Cinderella Carriage popcorn bucket SOLD OUT in a matter of days. What’s the secret, Disney?

While the great popcorn bucket craze is a relatively new phenomenon, you may have been a popcorn bucket collector YEARS before Disney caught on. Forget the theme parks — let’s talk about movie theater popcorn buckets for a second. Spoiler alert: we might like them even MORE than some of those wacky Disney buckets! (Controversial, right?!)
We hope you’re ready for a lot of food news — because Disney Springs has been BUSY this week!
