The cup is supposed to be a clear one, but they ran out. The gold version of the cup is usually available at the plastered owl inside Oak & Star Tavern. I’ve never seen the spoon there, but the spoon is obviously related to the restaurant as it has the oak and the star on it.

One of the best parts? These flavors are also available as an option with refillable popcorn buckets. We tried them all and are sharing where to find each one and how we'd rank them. Without further ado, let's get poppin'! P.S. Whether it's your first visit or you're a seasoned parkgoer, stay tuned for some refillable popcorn bucket hacks later in the article. New popcorn flavors at Universal Orlando Resort Here's how we would rank all the popcorn flavors, along with where to find them. A cup of flavored popcorn costs $7.49. 1. Garlic Parmesan Popcorn Location: Islands of Adventure, Seuss Landing, across from Cat in The Hat Our favorite flavor by far was the Garlic Parmesan Popcorn offered in Seuss Landing. It's perfectly salty and garlicky without leaving you with garlic breath. For a while, this flavor was only served inside Circus McGurkus Cafe Stoo-pendous. Now, you can grab it at the snack stand across from Cat in The Hat. 2. Bacon Cheese Popcorn Location: Islands of Adventure, Marvel Super Hero Island, across from Cafe 4 Runner-up on our list is the Bacon Cheese Popcorn in Marvel Super Hero Island. This flavor is heavy on the cheese with a light smoky bacon taste. If you're already a fan of cheddar popcorn, we highly recommend giving this one a try. 3. Ogre Corn Location: Universal Studios Florida, DreamWorks Land, Swamp Snacks stand, across from Shrek's Swamp Meet Regular popcorn isn't served at this stand — only green Ogre Corn. This popcorn has a delightful, light ranch flavor without becoming overly salty. We loved this one because you can still taste the popcorn, and the ranch seasoning isn't overpowering. 4. Maple Bourbon Habanero Popcorn Location: Islands of Adventure, Toon Lagoon near Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges and Jurassic Park near The Watering Hole This Maple Bourbon Habanero popcorn can be found in two places inside Islands of Adventure. If you love a bit of sweet heat, you'll love this popcorn. It's perfectly sweet and spicy with a nice smoky flavor. Other popcorn flavors offered at Universal Orlando Caramel Popcorn Location: Near the Islands of Adventure park exit This stand has been around for a while and can sometimes be hard to catch in operation, but the caramel popcorn is especially delicious. Banana Popcorn Location: Universal Studios Florida, Minion Land, next to Illumination's Minion Cafe Snack like a Minion at the Pop-A-Nana stand with banana-flavored popcorn. This variety is similar to caramel corn with a sweet, crunchy coating. If you love bananas, you'll love this flavor. Refillable popcorn bucket cost Refillable popcorn buckets range in price depending on the design. More intricate character buckets typically cost between $20 and $30, while the clear glitter buckets cost $14.29. Each purchase includes one free plain popcorn refill. Once you already have a refillable bucket, refill prices are: Plain popcorn refill: $2.49 Flavored popcorn refill: $3.99 Universal Orlando flavored popcorn ranked
