Charging cell phones

[Lynn J Mc]

Any where in the various parks to charge cell phones? Cant wait to use iphone apps for Disney but afraid battery wont last all day and not planning to go back to room during day.

I don't believe they have any charging stations and they do not allow you to use the few electrical outlets in stores or restaurants for charging.

We have extra batteries for our Android phones we carry when traveling but with an iPhone you are out of luck since you can't change the battery. That is one of several reasons I do not like iPhones.

I picked up a portable charger for my iphone. Ran about $20 and fully recharges the phone. Amazon has some different ones in stock. The one I bought is about the size of a roll of pennies and fits easily in my purse. Honestly though, even using the WDW apps I've never drained my battery in a day.

I used the my Disney experience frequently to check wait times etc & didn't have any problems with my battery. That's even answering texts & phone calls from work & using the camera on my phone. Remember to close out any apps you aren't using. That will help.

You are supposed to be able to leave your phone at Guest Services or the camera store to have it charged if you bring your own charging cable. I have never tried it myself because I don't want to carry my cord with me and risk losing it.

I have an iPhone and I carry 1-2 back up charger/batteries. I have a Mophie charger that you can recharge. I also have an Energizer charger that works with two AA lithium batteries.

If you are an average user just using the app will probably not not run down your battery as long as you close it out when not using it. y mom has never had to charge hers when we are in the park.

I use my phone for the app plus pictures plus video plus tweeting plus texting. I usually charge my phone when it drops to 50-60% and have to do it at least once a day.

Thanks for all the advice. I am an iphone addict

I have never had any of our phones die on us. And that includes my niece, who is constantly on with her BF.
But DW and I are both ECV users, and we have re-charged our ECVs many times in any outlet we found. No CM ever said BOO about it.
