I have one Fuel Rod. It was purchased directly from the company back in the day when free exchanges were advertised. As a result, I get free exchanges for life rather than paying for them. I bring it with me but TBH the kiosks for swapping them out are not conveniently located throughout the parks. So I also carry a lightweight power bank which can recharge my phone multiple times.Do you recommend or do not recommend the fuel rods that you can purchase at Disney parks ?
I am looking to get about four to six of them for our up coming trip.
Especially if you're staying on property, it's a big advantage to not have to take up an outlet or USB port in the room to recharge the block. Just swap out a new one at the kiosk in the lobby area every morning when leaving or upon returning in the evening.
People are always complaining about not enough outlets - getting these you don't have to use one on something you don't have to.
For sure, and I have many. But I carry a very small bag at Disney and want it as light as possible and the Fuel Rod is both small and light. Best quality, definitely no. But does it do what it needs to do in a pinch - yes! And no need to recharge when in a Park. In my regular bag for everyday life, I carry a more powerful and heavier charger.way better to get a better quality/stronger powerbank off amazon.
It's also helpful to know where they are in the front of the park to do the same. If I've used some and I come upon a place to swap I'll swap even if it's not dead. For me it's so much easier than having to make sure my anker is charged. I go through my battery much more at Disney than other vacations so the anker is great for those if I don't have a rental car I can charge in.
Some locations are missing from the map. I know for a fact that one of the Crescent Lake resorts has it in their lobby. Either BC or BW. I'm thinking it's BW because I stay there a lot. Just saw it in May. I've also seen it at other resorts but don't remember. (I'm thinking Contemporary near the monorail). Definitely in some resort lobbies along with the parksDisney has upped their game on the fuel rod exchange locations!

I've been playing around with the map and the kiosk at Boardwalk is there. If you move the map around with your finger it shows other parks and resorts.Some locations are missing from the map.

I have Ankers and others but I like Fuel Rod because of the size and weight. It's the one I always toss in my backpack/tote even though it doesn't last real long. The recharging kiosks are genius.
This is helpful thanks!
One of us always usually ends up needing a portable charger, I have one from amazon that's flat and charges two devices at one time and will recharge several phones throughout a full day's visit. I like the idea of fuel rods and have tried them in the past but sometimes locations are out and other times it's not as convenient if I'm not near them. I prefer just carrying my own.Do you recommend or do not recommend the fuel rods that you can purchase at Disney parks ?

Also, to buy that many of them upfront will be so much money if you need that many. You're likely better off just buying a few that charge multiple devices especially if you won't be in back in the parks often.Do you recommend or do not recommend the fuel rods that you can purchase at Disney parks ?
