Flashlights on phones

[tinkerbellandeeyor]

I might have to use mine in September to be able to see though the dark lines

Question can I still revive calls while I am on flashlight mode

Just wanted to add that the light would only be used to guide me while in line I will turn off the flashlight as so as I get on board or get to were it is safe

This may be dependent on what model phone you have.

I would contact the manufacturer of your phone (for example, Apple for an iPhone or Samsung for a Galaxy phone) and ask their tech support or customer service that question directly. Some providers (for example, Verizon or AT&T) have well-trained customer service reps who may be able to give you a definitive answer on that question as well.

Please remember that you may not have a strong cell signal in all parts of the park - I know that some ride buildings have less than optimal signal levels, so that could affect your incoming calls as well.

If you are very concerned about being able to see in low light, there are a great many options for small LED flashlight devices that will fit in your pocket easily, or can be hung around your neck from a lanyard, or even clipped to glasses.

My guess is it would not affect it for most phones if it is a feature of the phone, not an added on app.
The easiest way to tell would be to try it - turn the flaslight on and call from another phone.

I agree about the cell phone signal and small LED flashlights.
You also want to check out how using your phone as a flashlight affected battery life.

I would bring a small flash light phone batteries die quickly at disney and I do not think you want to be at the ned of the day with out a battier yes you can charge you phone at disney but do you really want to do that and finding a good spot can be hard. they have very small flash light that are key chain size.

if you really want to know turn your flash light on and get someone to call you.

.....

???? Why not just have someone call you when your phone is using the flashlight?

I agree, get one of those tiny keying flashlights and use that instead.

[gap2368]

Most of the ride queues at WDW are still "bright" enough that I don't feel the need for extra lighting. There are some that use darkness as an "effect", but Disney takes guest safety very seriously, so typically there is still enough light to see where you are going.

I think we can maybe be more helpful if you can give us a bit more information about why you need the flashlight in line? I'm not trying to pry - and I promise, I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable (you are among friends here) but if you are low-vision, or if you have other medical issues that require the light, we can maybe help lead you to the correct answer for your situation.

My disability is fairly new so it is hard to explain basically sens my last trip I was diagnosed with light senstifty but even though I am required to wear dark glasses to see I can't see in the dark

I wanted to add my mom wil be with me by the time it gets dark for night of joy but she has to drop off a family friend and I wanted to experience new fantasy land while it is open

 

[gap2368]

just walking around new fantasy land at night is dark so you may want a light to see just to walk some people have light on the stroller and all ECV have light on them so I do not see any one complaining to you about it just do not shine it in any one eyes and have it off for the rides and you will be fine. I think you are old enough to know if there is something that will take away form other guess with your light and I think you will not use it then

I hope you both enjoy Night of Joy; I have always wanted to attend! So, if I understand your need correctly, you have to wear dark glasses all the time? Or, only in direct, bright sunlight? Are there certain types of light you MUST avoid (like fluorescent lighting, or incandescent lighting?)

If you can remove your dark glasses at night, you may be able to simply remove them in the dark areas of the attraction queues, thereby negating the need for any additional light source. Once you are seated in the attraction, you could safely put them on again.

If you simply cannot tolerate ANY form of light, then I would consult with your Opthamologist prior to the trip, and ask for a recommendation for a light source that won't damage your eyes further. I would hate to recommend that you use an LED light (or any other specific light source), only to discover later that your Dr. had concerns about that type of light.

As @gap2368 said, your main concern will be not to shine the light in such a way that it negatively impacts other guests, or shines in children's eyes. (That's why I have strong personal rules about the headlight and taillight placement on my personal ECV; children in strollers are "captive" and can't get away from them).

Sounds like a little flashlight might be the way to go for those times when it is dark.

There are very few stairs to climb at the parks at WDW, so no fears for that happening in the New Fantasyland. Actually, the only long stairs (more than a few steps) at WDW that I can think of are up to the train at Main St. and Frontierland, the steps at Splash, and coming out of Star Tours? Oh, and going into Mexico! TTA has a conveyor ramp, the Land pavilion has an elevator and escalator, any more she might need to know about?

Take your glasses off in the dark. The doctor didn't mean you have to wear them all the time, just when there is enough light to make you sensitive. If you wear them in the dark your anxiety is going to be worse if you can't see. So take a small flashlight and take your glasses off in the dark.

Thanks I am glad there are no stairs to worry about

I know you want to be independent, but if you are with your husband, could he help you out?
