AuburnJen 777 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 We actually bought a second rod this past trip because super geek was with us in the park and we needed another swap. It didn't help any that DS kept misplacing the other one either, lol. So, thanks to wdwnt.com, Disney announced that it expanded service to more places in Hollywood Studios and updated the master list of places to get the fuel rods and swap them out. Here you go! http://wdwnt.com/blog/2017/01/photos-additional-fuelrod-kiosks-added-disneys-hollywood-studios/ The expansion of FuelRod continues at Walt Disney World as the swappable electronics battery has exceeded all expectations in just the first 6 months of its run at the Vacation Kingdom of the World. Two new kiosks can now be found at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, one at PizzeRizzo, and another inside of Rock Around the Shop at the exit of Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster. Here is an updated list of kiosk locations at Walt Disney World: Magic Kingdom Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. Big Top Souvenirs Pecos Bill’s Curtain Call Collectibles Epcot Disney Traders Camera Center (Future World) World Traveler (International Gateway) Disney’s Hollywood Studios Celebrity 5 & 10 Rock Around the Shop (exit of Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster) PizzeRizzo Disney’s Animal Kingdom Island Mercantile Disney Springs Marketplace Disney Photo Imaging DisneyQuest ESPN Wide World of Sports ESPN Clubhouse Shop Resort Hotels Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Disney’s All-Star Music Resort article credit: wdwnt.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beckers 1,136 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 We ended up buying one (they were actually $20 at the Philadelphia airport!) but I couldn't keep my phone in its Lifeproof case while using the cord that came with it so that kind of stinks. But it's better than a dead phone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 777 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Here is the latest about Fuel Rods. They are now available at the following resorts. Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Disney’s Boardwalk Resort Disney’s Contemporary Resort Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside http://www.chipandco.com/8-new-fuelrod-locations-walt-disney-world-resorts-272627/ BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I need to bookmark this page and print myself out a list. I've got a battery pack, but it's bigger and heavier than these, and it takes forever to charge. This might be a better solution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AuburnJen 777 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I have three, one for each person. They do work out quite well (even when we are at home) and they are lightweight. I know they were outrageous, but I use the heck out of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AuburnJen 777 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 I may have missed one of the updates, let me look and see if I can find a complete list. If I can't find one, I will get it from a CM on Monday ETA: Coronado was on the original list but I am looking for a comprehensive list still. I didn't get a chance to do it on our trip. We will be there in July. I can take care of it then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Coronado is on one of the lists above. I have mental block on charging, so these are great for me. We have 2 now and share them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kadancer 82 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Please forgive me, as my 17 year old says, I am a tech neophyte. Can I charge a tablet with a fuel rod? We are in the process of upgrading my son's communication device to a tablet for our upcoming trip and battery life is our biggest concern - the tablet seems to eat power when using the communication app. Thanks.

Beckers 1,136 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 You can charge an iPad (not sure of other tablets we have an iPad) but I don't know how much of a charge it would give it. But you could keep switching out the fuel rod if you are in the parks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I will say I tried using my fully charged one yesterday to charge up my Galaxy Tablet, only a few months old. It only got me to about 30%. I had drained it using it for Lego directions helping a friend finish their Disney castle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 I saw the fuel rods at the Atlanta Airport yesterday for $20. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
