Are there any places at the Parks... maybe at restaurants? Where you can charge your cell phone?
 
I charged at the Figment post ride area while DD5 played around. Other than that I have my own portable charger that we bring in. I didn't notice outlets in restaurants, but others may be in the know :)
 
Mk is the only park where they have dedicated charging stations, one by the Tangled restrooms in Fantasyland, one inside the Space Mountain gift shop and one next to the circus tent at Storybook Circus.
Other than that you can find plugs in all quick service restaurants and scattered around the parks.
I agree that you could look into the portable chargers
 

Inside both innoventions buildings at Epcot are always a popular spot for charging phones since there's so many outlets and it's nice and cool inside

I forgot about Innoventions, they have a lot of plugs across from Storm Struck
 
It definitely pays to bring a portable charger. We have one that holds three charges that we can pass around our party. We also have the smaller 1 charge type that are the size of a lipstick tube. Both are easy to throw in a purse or backsack, with the cord to connect them to your phone. We like the Jackery brand we have gotten on Amazon. You charge them up at nt., and then can charge your phone anywhere in the parks as needed. We have a "multi charger" we bring to plug in at the resort, it has 2 plug spots and 2 USB spots, so we can charge phones/devices, and chargers at nt.(got it at Target on clearance!)

I had heard that you can charge at at City Hall (I think) and that they give you a claim ticket and you can pick it up after a couple of hours. Don't have first hand knowledge though.
 
I don't go to the parks without a portable charger in my purse or backpack. I have three different Anker models - one's small and holds one charge, one's a medium size that holds about 2.5 charges, and one's flippin' huge and can keep my phone recharged for several days. I usually take the medium one for a full day or the small one for a partial day. (The huge one is mostly for power outages and traveling.)
 
We use a Jackery Giant charger. Can charge 2 phones at once, 5-6 complete charges. It often drops down to $30 on Amazon. Great investment for us.
 
Not a perfect solution, but if you have an Android phone, you can always carry around a spare battery.

Tried that once - biggest waste of time. They didn't check it once they tried to plug it in so it didn't charge at all after 2 hours. I know it's not a high priority with them especially since they now sell the chargers on site. But at the time it was nice to know they tried to help Even if it didn't work. I now have a charger in my purse & th portion to charge it at a regular plug too.
 
You can charge at the Tangled bathrooms as long as you have your own cord. There are USB and regular plugs there. Innoventions are both great. There use to be a comfy seating area in one but not sure if it is still there. The Space Mountain charging cubbies are no longer there. Also you can drop off at Guest Relations but it is not guaranteed that your phone will actually charge as they do not check them. They plug it in and go back to helping other guests. We got our back fully charged no problem but as PP said their was not charged at all so it really depends.
 
Since so much of our plans now runs through the app, most of us want to stay connected. I will echo other posters. Don't rely on the availability of outlets because you won't often find one and it's not very fun to be tethered to the wall while everyone else is either waiting on you or off having fun. Spend the few dollars on a portable charger. Many inexpensive, dependable brands have been mentioned, and it's all good advice.

That being said, I find the outlets in Cosmic Rays at MK and in the restrooms between Future World and the WS at Epcot to be the most available.
 
I just keep an extra charged battery in a small ziplock in my purse. It's small and instantly fixes the problem.

Yes I have the Galaxy S5 it's getting older so I just recently got a battery charger and 2 extra batteries. Now I always have a fully charged battery ready to go.
