One of the things I remember the most when I first visited Tokyo Disney Resort in 2002 is the various popcorn flavors they served. I was enamored with the honey popcorn that was being offered near the Pooh’s Honey Hunt attraction. I love popcorn (about as much as I love coffee and pie). In honor of National Popcorn Day, I recently strolled through Disney’s Hollywood Studios to see what flavors I could find. As it turns out, there are some unique combinations offered at Disney Parks.
Pre-packaged popcorn is developed by the Consumables team (the same team that creates those delicious treats for the show kitchen locations). The pre-packaged popcorn they offer now has evolved from the traditional cheddar, caramel or kettle popcorn I remember. Today, they offer flavors like Cookies and Cream, Chocolate Mint or Chocolate Caramel. My favorite, however, is the Chocolate Cheddar Caramel popcorn as it is a great mix of sweet and salty. I spoke with Patrice Guy, developer for Consumables, who said that flavor is a test.
