What is your favorite portable phone charger to bring and use in the parks? I know Disney has an option in the parks. If you have used the fuel rods please post your opinion of them.
I have an iPhone 6 with a Mophie case, but for my trip last year it was not difficult to burn through a full battery navigating the day.
Thanks in advance for your responses.
 
I have two Jackery brand chargers, and they are awesome. Just a little larger than the size of a lipstick case. Fully charges multiple devices. I got them on Amazon.
 
I stream from the parks so I got a fuelrod. Best decision I've made. I had a lipstick style charger before the fuel rods went to the parks. So I bring that with me but haven't had a need to use it since I can just swap for a fully charged rod anytime

Is there a list somewhere of where all the fuelrod stands are located? I know where some of them are but still bringing around a personal one with a little more juice in it because I really have no clue where you can swap them out.
 
Disney sells/rents fuel rods??
Yeah, you can but a new one for $30, comes with the cable and connections for different phones, when you need a new one you go to a station and swap it for a fully charged one, no additional fees, it's yours to keep
 
My whole family has the anker phone charger products - from the one that gives you 1+ charges to the one that gives you 5+charges. They all work wonderfully. The higher capacity ones take longer to charge the unit but they all charge the phones perfectly.

MK: Pecos Bill, Tomorrowland Light and Power, Curtain Call Collectible, Big Top Souvenirs
Epcot: Disney Traders
DHS: Celebrity 5 & 10
AK: Island Mercantile
Disney Springs: Marketplace Photo Imaging and Disney Quest
ESPN Wide World of Sports: ESPN Clubhouse
There's talks of bringing stations to the resorts as well. and expanding the number at the 3 theme parks
 
I like those external high mah (above 10000 mah) batteries with dual ports. You can get a dozen charges for the family and a tablet without needing to recharge.

I think epcot also has one somewhere around the american pavilion. At least that's where I think a certain daily vlogger was standing (and he really went out of his way to show the fuel rod daily last week). I would get it if there was some official list either from fuel rod or disney that I knew where to go. thanks for this though, rather handy as I almost needed one the other night.

Unless they added that one in the past 2 weeks. The list that i posted is from the Hub

I have a larger Jackery 20,100 mAh and I love it. Great for vacations.
 
I have an Aukey 20,000 mah portable I got off Amazon for $24.99. Its big, but it has dual ports and charges everything quickly. Plus, I can charge multiple devices multiple times without needing to recharge the portable charger.

Keep in mind that the smaller the device, the lower the total miliamp hours will be. You're trading size and weight for power.
 
We used the fuel rod on our trip last month and loved the ease and convenience of it!
We ordered our's online and it was a little cheaper than buying one in the parks.
 
If I were going to Disney I'd do the fuel rod thing, even though I have a mophie case, because it would be super nice to just be able to trade it out and keep going.

Ditto! I just ordered a new one for our trip next week with a Quick Charge port (3 ports total). It took all night to fully charge but we likely won't have to recharge it throughout our trip. I won't go with anything under 20,000 mah so it's not exactly tiny, but worth it's size and weight in convenience.
 
I do not live stream ..just use MDE app and within a long day one charge is really all that is needed. I bought one..a little bigger than lipstick size on amazon based on good reviews made by anker..on sale for $9.00 and I see similar for $12 right now. Charges my phone once and part of one more charge at least. It doesnt weigh much. I would not want to have to go stand in line or find a place to swap them. The person that is a deal for is a high user that needs several charges to get through the day.
