Fuel Rod

It’s no secret that we’re used to filling our bags with things to help us all day long in Disney World, but when it comes to using the My Disney Experience app to check wait times, check for showtimes, and even pick up Multi Pass and Single Pass Lightning Lanes, you could easily run your battery down quicker than you thought. So if you’re someone who’s GOT to stay charged the whole day through, one of our best Disney World park hacks just got a big upgrade we’ve got to tell you about! [Read more…]

Picture it: You’re in Disney World, having the time of your life! You’re hitting all the rides you want using Disney Genie+ and by checking wait times on the My Disney Experience app. You’re eating everything on your Dining Bucket List with a little help from Mobile Order and all the Advance Dining Reservations you’ve made.

There’s a NEW FuelRod Policy That You NEED to Know About for Your Next Disney Vacation

By 11 Comments

Have you been following along with the story of the FuelRod chargers? We’ve got some interesting updates to the saga!

FuelRod Station
