USB charging ports on a WDW bus

[Flash_Sloth]

On our recent trip to WDW, we were on a WDW bus that wasn't too crowded, and I noticed these USB charging ports under the seats:


I didn't recall ever seeing that before. And after noticing it, I made it a point to look for them on other WDW buses as we went to various places. I didn't notice it on any other bus. I don't know how rare or common they are, but there is at least one bus out there ready to charge.

There have been buses with charging ports for a few years. Announced in 2019

For the few minutes of any Disney bus ride, is it worth the effort to plug in your phone?

Well if your battery is almost run down, maybe. And if you're leaving MK the bus ride is more than just a few minutes, depending on your hotel.

After the defcon hacker demonstration they mention in this juice jacking article hit the news I’ve never been able to get it out of my head long enough to use a publicly accessible usb charging point even though it isn’t a widespread problem yet. But digging up that article got me seeing there are non data transferring usb cables out there (“well duh” our techies around here just thought I’m sure ) so I know what I’m picking up today!
