Here are a couple of steps to help you optimize your time, money, and technology on your next Disney trip:
- Download the My Disney Experience app before you leave home and practice using it to check wait times and adjust/make fastpasses.
- I LOVE Disney's Memory Maker package that allows you to download unlimited digital copies of your Disney photos and print them at your convenience. It is great to have high-quality pictures without having to carry your camera around (and worry about it getting lost or wet).
- Put your phone on 'low battery' mode and reduce the brightness of your screen (when you can).
- Bring a portable phone charger like this great Duracell one I use! It will be much cheaper to buy one at the local store or Amazon than to purchase one of these at Disney! Don't forget to grab your USB cable when you head to the parks so that you can charge your phone!
- Have a backup... make sure you have a written/printed list of your fastpass times and dining reservations just in case your phone does die or get lost.
- Have a plan just in case that worst-case scenario comes true and your phone really does get lost. This article had some helpful information.
- Bring a sandwich-sized ziploc bag for any electronics you may want to protect in case it rains. If you get caught in a storm without one, you can ask a cast member at a gift shop for a free bag and they'll give you one.
Disney provides complimentary wi-fi in the resorts and parks. If you have unlimited data, I recommend turning your wi-fi off, since it will use your battery if your phone is constantly looking for the next wi-fi signal to join. If you don't have unlimited data, then I recommend you join the network and monitor if it seems to be cutting in and out and causing your battery to drain. Hopefully Disney will continue to improve this service and it will not be an issue in the near future.
