Mobile 'phone battery question
First time I've ever taken a mobile with me, but going to take my Xperia Z this year as I will need it to access ADRs and Fastpasses on MDE. I am also going to use it for photos. For people who've used their mobiles for this, how did you get on, did your battery last if you were out all day and into the evening?
Thanks

I'm not sure about varying battery life, but might be useful to know that Disney has power points with power sockets and USB sockets located in key areas around the parks. They're not the easiest things to spot though, as in MK they're disguised as tree trunks. Not sure what they're like in other parks.
Very handy all the same. Might be worth taking a USB charging cable with you, then if you need it, you can stop, grab a drink for 15 mins while you get some more power. I only found this out recently but just goes to show that Disney think of everything! |

Yes you could just charge it to full every night and you will be fine with a full battery for the day.

Mines never lasted the full day,but I did use it a lot! Definitely take a usb cable in with you for a quick charge if you need it.

Too many variables to answer this question accurately to be honest but I have used my S4 regularly during various sightseeing days in the US and have always had plenty of battery left after a full charge.

My iPhone seems to last ok
You can buy power stacks which give a full charge in minutes

You could purchase an external portable battery charger, but if you charge at night, it should last the whole day (certainly my Sony Xperia Z1 does) ...

I forgot to buy a handbag power charger before we went, but then couldn't find one either at the airport or even in Walmart! That would be the best option if you're worried at all about your battery.
I found my iPhone lasted - even using it as a camera on occasion when my compact camera played silly b's on me! I just made sure I put it on charge as soon as we got back to the hotel every night.

I have a iphone 5s and I take a lot of photos with it , somedays I got a full day out of it, others I didn't, but i think that was also dependant on how much I took advantage of free wifi !
