During a recent visit to EPCOT, an exciting discovery was made regarding the beloved FuelRod stations. These handy kiosks, scattered throughout Walt Disney World and Disneyland, have been a game-changer for those of us who rely heavily on our phones for snapping photos, checking attraction wait times, and managing dining reservations. The convenience of swapping out a drained FuelRod for a fully-charged one has been a lifesaver for many Disney fans.
On this particular trip, it was observed that FuelRod locations have received some significant upgrades! New FuelRod kits are now available for purchase at $38 each, offering an enhanced portable charger experience. Each kit includes:
– One fully charged portable charger
– A 3.5” USB-C to USB-C cable for Android devices and iPhone generation 15+
– A USB micro adapter for some Android devices
– A 3.5” USB-C to Apple Lightning cable for iPhone generations 14 and prior
– An adapter for USB-A connections
These new FuelRods come equipped with battery life LED indicators, enabling users to know exactly when it’s time for their next swap.
For those who already own the original FuelRod kits, there’s great news. Disney Parks are offering a free upgrade to the new kits. Simply bring your old FuelRod to a kiosk, and the machine will automatically exchange it for the updated version. This perk keeps Disney’s gear current and ensures all guests benefit from the improved technology.
