Fuel Rods
Looking like the free fuel rods are on the way out. Wdwnt confirmed that wdw will be following DL and removing the free element and renaming them as 'Swappable fuel rods' for a small charge.

Are theses the phone charging sticks sold at Disney? If so, I paid $32 for one last year!

Yes sorry I meant you get free refills. These will no longer be free.

Yes, miffed...those of us that have bought them previously have surely been missold now? Not that it bothers me that much as I rarely needed it swapped.

Charging for the swappable facility sort of defeats the whole benefit of these. The benefit of the inferior, more expensive Fuel Rods was that you could swap them as many times as you wanted for free and so effectively they had "infinite" capacity. Now people will be discouraged from swapping them thus turning them more into a regular powerbank.

My daughter got one last year and to be honest it was rubbish. It didn't charge her phone very well. It's cheaper to take one with you. I bought one from primark 12.00 and it charges x5 times for phones and x2 for tablets. It was fantastic over there. Xx
