Title: Disneyland In Park Cell Phone Charging Tip
Post by: dss174 on October 05, 2016, 06:19:22 PM
Just a tip for those who find themselves needing to charge their cell phones at some point during their Disney Paris visit as I noticed areas to charge are hard to come by.

We found that the ice cream parlor at the end of Main Street has a table near the wall with power outlets available.

Nothing worse than your phone dying when you want to capture photos.

Which is where having a real camera (compact, not full sized DSLR) is quite useful, those can carry spare batteries. ;)
Though I agree, charging your phone in the park can be handy, though I imagine it'll become more important once DLP actually gets park wide WiFi (are they still planning to roll that out? DLR is getting it next year I believe, along with Magic Bands).

Few things on a phone need more energy than the WiFi radios.

I always use a normal camera to take photos when I'm on holiday and I make sure I have a spare charged battery in the camera case.

Since Pokemon Go I discovered the joy of using a battery pack with which you can recharge your phone 2 or 3 times. It's a lifesaver.  8)

a powerbank is useful too, though it already is a good idea to turn your internet off (as in completely, not just the wifi), apps that work online tend to waste a lot of battery life
