Let’s be real, our phones are basically our Disney World survival kits these days.
They’re our cameras, our wallets, our park tickets, our room keys — shoot, they even hold our precious dining reservations! So when that battery dips, it can feel like a piece of you just died with it. So what do you do when your phone decides to kick the bucket right in the middle of your Disney day and your phone charger is nowhere in sight? Let’s talk about it!
As we were saying, we’ve all experienced it. You’re at Disney World (living your best life) snapping pics with Mickey, and conquering Space Mountain (basically adulting like a champ), but then, disaster strikes. You reach for your phone to capture another magical moment, only to be greeted by the “lovely” low-battery warning and your charger is basically a million miles away. What do you do?
Don’t Panic!
The first thing to do is breathe. The good news is that Disney World actually has your back. Scattered throughout the parks are charging havens where you can snag an outlet and revive your phone.
We’re talking about spots like World Celebration Gardens in EPCOT or Storybook Circus Tent in Magic Kingdom.
But Here’s the Catch
While you can use the outlets, Disney doesn’t exactly hand out phone chargers like free Mickey Mouse ears. So, the number 1 rule here is to pack your own.
Stash it in your park bag, tape it to your chest — just don’t leave home without it! The charger above is what we use to charger our phones, portable chargers, and MagicBands! And it’s under $15. A must-have for Disney World since the rooms are severely lacking outlets for the number of things that need to be charged ASAP.
Charging On-The-Go
What if you don’t have time to chill by an outlet? No worries! Let me introduce you to a portable charger. It’s going to be your new best friend.
They’re like tiny power banks for your phone, and you can use them on the go everywhere. You could also consider investing in a charging case for your phone too. They’re super convenient.
What To Do When You’ve Forgotten Everything
Okay, so maybe you forgot both the charger and the portable charger. Don’t worry. It happens to the best of us. Disney World already has a solution for you — meet FuelRods!
These are basically little battery packs that you can get all over the parks. They’re lifesavers in a pinch, but they can be pricey (around $30 for one).
Here’s the secret to saving some money on these — buy your FuelRods on Amazon before your trip! Not only will they likely be cheaper (they tend to go for $30 for two!), but you can still swap them out at any of the FuelRod kiosks around Disney World for a fully charged one (completely FREE!).
