Lately, Walt Disney World has had a love/hate relationship with many guests. Some wish it was back to old like before the pandemic. While other’s love the new post pandemic offerings. No matter which way you fall. Every single person has one thing in common.
Every guest that visits WDW NEEDS to have one thing with them. It’s a necessity for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you are visiting Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, or Hollywood Studios. Heck you even could use it when you visit Disney Springs.
But what is this one, all important item. What is the one thing every guests needs to bring with them? It can fit in your pocket and be the only thing you bring. Or it could be in your Disney park bag that you bring in with you on ever visit.
It’s so important that the Disney buses even started to get them installed on the buses. Of course, the buses are way over crowded to even use them. If you are one of the lucky few that get to use it your face is probably way too close for comfort to someone else’s butt.
Now what are we talking about? Any clue? Any guesses? Don’t worry we are about to tell you the one thing you MUST have with you when you visit a Disney theme park. It doesn’t just have to be at one of the four Walt Disney World parks either.
Of course, we are talking about a portable phone charger and USB plug. You can’t successfully visit a Disney theme park with out it. Now you could just have a USB plug and find chargers throughout the parks but you would be stuck to that location until your phone has enough juice for you to continue on.
A portable charger allows you to charge your phone on the go. No need to stalk the Tangled rest rooms waiting for an open one. No need to spend $30 on a fuel rod at one of the kiosk either. Although, as a last resort it’s a great option.

On my last two visits to Walt Disney World in 2020 and 2021 it seems like I had my phone plugged into my charger the whole time. This was before Disney genie+. Between checking ride times, ordering food, and taking tons of pictures. My battery on my galaxy smartphone was draining fast.
Now you should buy a portable charger before you go using one of my links. It helps us out and it doesn’t cost you any extra.
If you just want the chance to sit and relax while you wait for your phone to charge. We have listed some of the places at the different parks that you can do just that. Of course, you still need to have the USB plug with you.

MAGIC KINGDOM
- Tangled restroom area
- Columbia Harbor House
- Space Mountain near the arcade
- Storybook circus
EPCOT
- Norway (outlets)
- Morocco (outlets)
- The Seas pavilion

ANIMAL KINGDOM
- Finding Nemo theater (outlets)
- Pizzafari
HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
- Star Wars Launch Bay
- ABC commissary
These are just a few of the different places you can find USB outlets and regular outlets. Just what ever you do. DON’T UNPLUG ANYTHING.
I can tell you that currently at Walt Disney World you NEED to have your phone with you. From finding out wait times. To paying for your next ride on Disney Genie +. Or even doing mobile ordering. Your phone is used for so much nowadays at WDW. You really can’t do Disney right without it.
Do you agree that a portable charger is the number one thing you need to bring to WDW? If not, what do you think it is? Let us know in the comments below.
