One Disney resort has issued a warning to all guests over the use of portable chargers on property.Portable lithium-ion batteries — including everyday power banks — have come under increased scrutiny in recent years. Regulators across multiple countries have raised concerns after a number of overheating and combustion incidents linked to improper charging and storage of these devices.Credit: DisneySeveral airlines – particularly those in Asia – have since introduced their own rules on loose lithium-ion batteries. While you typically already can’t place them in your checked luggage, the likes of Emirates, Vietnam Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Scoot, EVA Air, Thai Airways, and AirAsia have banned the use of these batteries in-flight to avoid the risk of fire.Now, one Disney destination is implementing new guidelines to prevent similar incidents from occurring onsite.Disney Resort Cracks Down on Guests Using Portable ChargersTokyo Disney Resort released a guest notice explaining that Japan’s Consumer Affairs Agency and Fire and Disaster Management Agency have recently issued warnings related to products that contain lithium-ion batteries, including mobile chargers. The notice emphasizes the resort’s responsibility to maintain a safe environment for all visitors.Credit: Tokyo Disney Resort“To ensure the safety and security of all our guests, we ask that you take the following precautions when using mobile batteries and other devices,” the resort advises.Guests are asked to avoid using or storing portable chargers in high-temperature areas or near flammable materials. This includes windows exposed to direct sunlight, bedding, curtains, and enclosed spaces where heat can build up, such as inside bags or wrapped in fabric.The resort also warns against leaving charging devices unattended. Guests are told not to charge portable batteries while they are out of their rooms or asleep. Instead, they must keep the device in sight during charging.Credit: Tokyo Disney ResortCast members at Tokyo Disney hotels – such as Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, the recently added (and costly) Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel, and Tokyo Disney Resort Toy Story Hotel – may intervene if unsafe charging practices are noticed during room cleaning.According to the advisory, staff may move the device or stop charging entirely if they believe there is a fire risk. The resort asks for guest understanding and cooperation as part of standard safety protocol.Credit: Tokyo Disney ResortDespite the new cautionary rules, portable chargers remain available throughout the parks to help guests keep their phones charged. Tokyo Disney Resort offers portable charger rental stations inside both parks for a small fee. These rental units can be returned across multiple kiosks, which means most guests don’t end up taking them back to their hotel rooms.Other Disney parks offer similar solutions. Disneyland Paris provides portable charger rentals for guests who need extra battery support during the day. At Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort in the U.S., FuelRod kiosks allow guests to purchase or exchange small portable chargers at stations throughout the parks.These systems reduce the need for guests to bring their own devices — and help Disney maintain safer control over battery usage on property.Do you typically take a portable charger or power bank to Disney?The post Disney Cracks Down on Portable Chargers, Issues Strict New Rules for All Guests appeared first on Inside the Magic.
