Hi Hailie, and welcome to planDisney! I’m excited to see that you’ll be walking down Main Street, U.S.A., and eating all the Mickey-shaped snacks in just a few more days. So let’s chat about bringing your power bank into the parks.
A power bank is one of my must-have items in my park bag! Since I’m always using the
My Disney Experience app to book
Lightning Lane selections,
mobile order food, and download
PhotoPass pictures, it’s helpful to be able to give my phone a midday charge. Sometimes I even charge my
MagicBand+ to make sure the battery lasts to the nighttime spectaculars.
It looks like the power bank you have is larger than the typical one. I don’t see any size restrictions in the
Walt Disney World Resort Property Rules, but security always reserves the right to turn away a specific item. When you go through the security scanner, I’d recommend taking the power bank out of your bag and holding it in front of you. When I brought my laptop into the parks, this sometimes helped me avoid being pulled over for extra screening (although they may want to inspect your larger power bank anyway).
If you’re looking to keep your phone charged throughout your trip, my friends are big fans of the
portable charger kiosks throughout the theme parks and Disney resort hotels. It’s incredibly convenient. You make a one-time portable charger purchase, and then you can swap it out at any kiosk for a fully charged one once yours runs out of battery.
One last thing I wanted to mention before I go. You’re going to be at Disney World during one of my favorite times of the year, when the
EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival is underway! I love seeing all of the colorful flowers and plants, checking out the
Disney character topiaries, and sampling food at the
Outdoor Kitchens. Be sure to take a look at
Disney Parks Blog’s Foodie Guide to start planning your snacking strategy! There are also a lot of
festival-exclusive photo ops and Magic Shots, which would be fun for your group.
I hope your school has a magical visit to Disney World this weekend! And if you have any other questions, you’re always welcome back at planDisney.
