Is this safe?

[MorningGlory]

I have an inordinate amount of electronic stuff to take, and the leads/chargers etc for it all. Phone, laptop, mp4, camera, battery charger, etc.

Do you think it would be safe to take a UK-type strip of 4 sockets and plug it into the hotel room electric socket with an adaptor? Im guessing the room will have 2 sockets at most, which will not be enough if everything runs out of charge at one time.

Yes, yes & yes

We do it all the time - in Europe and USA. Can't confirm if it is safe but we haven't had a problem

Great, thanks!

I've wondered about this too, I've always been worried it would blow up the socket or something, so I'm glad to see someone else has tried it first!

Can I just suggest that you pop in a car charger for your phone as you might find it doesn't charge up well/quickly with the voltage thingy, thats a girly technical term!

 

[jen_uk]

We always take battery chargers etc and use an adapter to charge and have never had a problem.

Only problem I know of with electical items in US is the Motorola v220. its a known problem with Motorola but not all v220's only some of them, They wont charge at all, we had to buy a US charger for it off ebay.

GHD's aren't too good at heating up either

But I don't see MorningGlory needing them

I managed to convince DH to buy me the new MK4 GHD's for my birthday which have dual voltage. Otherwise I would have to hide under a hat for the whole holiday!!

Had never thought of bringing a gang, it's a really good idea, thanks!

oops lol

I personally felt that I may as well have not brought my older GHD's on our last trip, hardly heated up at all. My ones here were starting to go a bit dodgy which is why I got the MK4's, but you could easily pick up a cheaper set out there.

Do i need to know what a 'GHD' is?

Haven't a clue what yous are talking about

Has anyone else had problems charging phones in WDW? My samsung last year just didnt charge so i had to turn it off and just use it when needed?

Do i need to buy a USA adaptor for it?
