Where To Get A Charge At Disney World
With all the app usage that can help you navigate Disney’s theme parks it can really drain your cell phone. From grabbing last minute Fastpass+ reservations, checking ride wait times, and figuring out when and where to grab a bite to eat, your poor phone can waste away to nothing. But have no fear Tinkerbell has sprinkled cell phone charging stations throughout all four parks to help you out. I have put together a listing of all the places to plug in to help you out on your trip.
Magic Kingdom
- Tomorrowland
- Outlets are available at the exit of Space Mountain in the arcade area
- Also, Cosmic Ray’s offers outlets in the hallway next to the restroom
- Outside the Tomorrowland restrooms there are outlets and a low wall to sit on while you’re charging.
- Tomorrowland Terrance also has a couple of outlets near the trash cans (super fun!).
- Carousel of Progress has a outlet out in front next to a big tree.
- Fantasyland – Dumbo/Barnstormer tent at the back of Storybook circus, next to Pete’s Silly Sideshow. The pluses to this location is that there are benches to sit at while you charge. Also, the outlets take both normal plugs and USB.
- Between Fantasyland and Liberty Square – across from the Tangled themed bathrooms. These are “hidden” outlets located in fake tree stumps. The pluses to this location is that there are benches to sit at while you charge. Also, the outlets take both normal plugs and USB.
- Liberty Square – Columbia Harbor House has a large number of outlets situated next to tables. Perfect for multi-tasking, eating while you charge!
EPCOT
- Future World
- The Living Seas have outlets near the women’s restrooms
- The Land has outlets upstairs near the Electric Umbrella
- Innoventions has multiple outlets spread around but no sitting areas next to them. Pop-a-squat on the floor in the nice air conditioning.
- World Showcase
- Norway and Morocco have multiple outlets spread around outside
- Mexico has an outlet near the outdoor seating at La Cantina de San Angel (post on the left). This is also a great place to catch the fireworks!
Animal Kingdom
- Finding Nemo has a bench near the theater with a hidden outlet in the plants
- Pizzafari – a couple of outlets in the dining rooms
- Disney Outfitters has an outlet on the outside right wall but sorry no seating
Hollywood Studios
- The Magic of Disney Animation has outlets on the walls in the Animation Courtyard
- ABC Commissary has an outdoor table that has outlet access
Tips for charging
- Don’t unplug anything already there so you can use the outlet. Things are plugged in for reason. You don’t want to shut down It’s a Small World by mistake….or maybe you do ?
- Don’t move anything to get to an outlet. Mickey puts things in certain places for a reason.
- Lastly, don’t remove outlet covers. Usually they are locked into place but just in case, leave it be.

Disney World With Babies And Toddlers
Baby Care
When you need a calm place for nursing or changing baby, duck into Magic Kingdom’s Baby Care Center, tucked right behind the Crystal Palace restaurant. Each of the Disney parks has these centers, which are equipped with rockers, swings, high chairs, toys, videos, and essentials such as baby food, formula, diapers, and wipes available for purchase. Certain rides can also provide a cool and peaceful respite for nursing or napping. For example, in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland, the Carousel of Progress and Tomorrowland Transit Authority are both dimly lit, with soothing motions that lull kids to sleep. If your child conks out in the stroller, use the downtime to shop in one of the Main Street stores or relax on a bench in the shade.
About the Facilities
includes a:
- Private nursing room with rocking chairs
- Changing room with tables and a unisex bathroom
- Feeding area with highchairs
- Kitchen with microwave, oven and sink
- Main room with television, table, chairs and sofa
- On-site shop offering formula, baby food, juice, diapers, wipes, sunscreen, over-the-counter medications and clothing for purchase

Myths About Walt Disney World
– If you ask a Cast Member to do something, they have to do it. True or False? The Truth is that Cast Members will do everything they can for you, if it is within their power, if you ask them nicely. It is False that they have to do whatever you ask. These are not puppets, they are people and that means they respond to reasonable requests.
– When you are visiting characters from Toy Story movies and yell “Andy’s coming!” that they will drop to the ground. This is false. Those costumes cost thousands of dollars and Disney does not want the characters to constantly be falling to the ground in them, causing harm to the Cast Member as well as the costumes themselves. Besides, they know that Andy is away at college.
-Walt Disney’s body is cryogenically preserved in the hope that he may be brought back to life when technology catches up to make this happen. This is false. Walt Disney’s body was cremated two days after his death and his remains are buried in a plot along with his son-in-law, in Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale. He had stated he did not want any funeral and there was none held.
-There is a Disney Jail on property. While there is a location known by this name in Disneyland, it did not carry over to Walt Disney World. There are holding cells on the property where people wait that are being detained for law enforcement to arrive and charges to be filed against them. Disney does not want further harm to come to their Cast Members or the perps and keeping them in holding cells are used with this is mind.

Disney World Tips and Tricks
Getting the Best Seat in Theater Attractions
When you see one of the theater-based attractions such as Muppet*Vision 3D (in Disney’s Hollywood Studios), Mickey’s PhilharMagic (in the Magic Kingdom), or The American Adventure (Epcot), don’t elbow others aside to get into the auditorium first. Cast members move incoming audiences all the way down each row, so if you want seats toward the center, follow a large group of guests. They’ll be at the end of the row and you won’t.
Best Place to Take a Break
Feet throbbing? The Walt Disney World Railroad is the only ride that doesn’t force everyone to disembark after making one circuit, which takes about 25 minutes. If you’re tired, you can enjoy the round trip that girdles the Magic Kingdom for as long as you want.
How Not to Get Trapped During a Parade
Stay out of Adventureland and Frontierland starting 30 minutes before parade time. The parade route cuts them off from the rest of the park, and crowd-control measures make it difficult to cross its path. If you’re accidentally stranded, there are only so many times you can ride Pirates of the Caribbean before you’re saying “Arggh,” too.
Embrace the Rain
Rain is a blessing at Disney World. People tend to flee the parks when it pours. What they don’t know is that in Florida, cloudbursts may last for less than an hour, so dress for wet and use a deluge to take advantage of shorter lines.
Turning Too-Short Children to Your Advantage
If your child’s too short to ride something—height requirements are on the guide map, and there are rulers before every queue entrance—ask the nearest cast member to give you a voucher that enables them to cut the line when they grow tall enough. For Splash Mountain, they’re dubbed a “Future Splash Mountaineer,” and on Space Mountain, they’re handed a “Mousetronaut Certificate.” Many other major rides have their own versions.
