When visiting the Disney Parks, you may notice that after standing in line or using the My Disney Experience app, your phone will be in desperate need of a charge at some point during the day. Bringing your own charger can be cumbersome, especially if you are wanting to pack as lightly as possible for your day in the Parks.
Here’s where portable chargers come in. You can buy one of these portable power banks and simply swap them out at the various kiosks provided by Disney. Unfortunately, one Disney Resort just swapped its free version of this system with a paid service

Well, unfortunately, these free charging stations have been left in the past with Disneyland Paris replacing the once-free machines with a paid version. You can see what these new machines look like in a tweet from Disneyland Paris bonus plans (@Disneylandpbp):
The Alpha Arcade of Videopolis now offers terminals for renting paid external batteries to charge the phone for 4 € for 2 hours or 10 € for the day. This system no more and no less replaces the free recharging points withdrawn some time ago! (Translated)
L’Arcade Alpha de Videopolis propose à présent des bornes pour louer des batteries externes payantes afin de recharger le téléphone pour 4€ les 2 heures ou 10€ la journée. Ce système remplace ni plus ni moins les points de recharge gratuits retirés il y a quelques temps ! 🔋 pic.twitter.com/7TXDFDxR47

Recharging Mobile Devices The cables provided can connect most common devices to the portable battery to begin charging the device.
Recharging or Replacing the Portable Battery If the portable battery runs down (indicated by a red LED light), just:
