You are standing in the hot Florida sun waiting for the Festival of Fantasy Parade to begin, you found the perfect spot for those great pictures and videos you are planning on taking to create that extra special Disney memory. You hear the announcer, the music begins and from a distance you see the first float making it’s way to you.. The excitement is high and all of a sudden…. Low battery – 20% pops up on your screen! Grrr… doesn’t that just make you so angry?! What now? You don’t have a plug near by, so it’s decision time.. You are just going to have to take pictures because video will only suck your battery dry in no time. Ugh! There goes those memories you wanted to capture. Well, I’m here to give you some great tips so that this little scenario doesn’t happen to you. 😉
Charging Stations
Disney Parks now have charging stations where you can plug in to get your batteries charged. Aside from the countless outlets that can be found throughout all the parks, here is a list of locations with stations and/or lockers to keep those smartphones, iPads, tablets, computers, whatever you need working tip top.
Walt Disney World Resort Florida – Magic Kingdom
- Rapunzel’s Village
- Space Mountain – (Charging lockers)
- Pete’s Slide Show
- Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café – (Charging lockers)
- Main Street USA Locker area – (Charging lockers)
Use In-Park Wi-Fi
Switch your phone to airplane mode to conserve the life of your phones battery and still surf the ‘net by connecting to the Wi-Fi offered in the Parks and Resorts. Just don’t forget to switch your phone off airplane mode in order to receive calls!
Take time to Unwind
One of the advantages of staying on Disney property is the ease of going back to the resort to not only recharge those electronic devices, but to recharge yourself. It’s good to take breaks throughout the day to take a nap, refresh yourself, maybe grab a bite to eat and while you’re at it, plug in those devices for a full charge up.
Turn Off Unused Phone Features
Don’t let those games apps, Bluetooth or other features run in the background, all they are doing is sucking the life out of your battery. If you’re not using them, turn them off. They will save precious battery time.
Charge Pack
Last, but not least. I can not tell you how much this tip should definitely be your Top #1 tip for keeping your electronics charged. Get a portable charger. These chargers run on batteries and can hold there charge for multiple devices and charge ups for days, even months. Ranging in size and price, these can be found in any merchandise locations on or off property and they can range anywhere from $10 up to about $60 depends on the charging capabilities. We have one and we never leave home without it. 😉
I hope these helpful tips help you keep your charge on your next Disney trip.

On iPhones, turning on Airplane mode also turns off WiFi and BlueTooth. However, you can turn them back on while staying in Airplane mode. If the phone’s BlueTooth is v. 4 or later, it’s low power, and basically only runs when it’s needed, so leaving it on won’t make much difference in your battery life.
