Hi, Denise! I purchased a FuelRod while at an airport a few years ago and I cannot begin to tell you how many times I have swapped it out or recharged it on my own. Even though I did purchase it to use mainly at Walt Disney World Resort, I still use it in everyday life. I just recharge it with my regular phone charging cords.
FuelRods can be purchased from a variety of kiosks found inside merchandise locations at the theme parks, in the resorts, and at Disney Springs. Almost all Resort hotels do have a kiosk, so check with Concierge if you need help locating it. While this is subject to change at any time, you can currently find FuelRod kiosks in these locations:
Disney Springs: Welcome Center, Sundries (near Town Center bus loop), Disney's PhotoPass Studio
Magic Kingdom: Tomorrowland Light & Power Company, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe, Big Top Souvenirs, Curtain Call Collectibles, Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe
Hollywood Studios: Celebrity 5 & 10, Rock Around the Shop
Epcot: Disney Traders, near International Gateway entrance, Camera Center in Future World, the Festival Center during Epcot's seasonal festivals
Disney's Animal Kingdom Park: Island Mercantile
Disney's Blizzard Beach Water Park: Beach Haus
Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park: Singapore Sal's
ESPN Wide World of Sports: ESPN Clubhouse Shop, ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill, HP Fieldhouse
You can purchase one before your trip from their website (a quick web search will show the web address) or from various locations across the country. Any FuelRod you purchase outside of Walt Disney World Resort can be exchanged once you are at the Resort.
Thanks for stopping by, Denise! Please let us know if you have any other questions!
