Charging my iPod?

I know the only way that we can charge our iPod's to plug the cable into a PC/laptop and let it do its thing.

As we do not have a laptop and do not intend on taking the PC all the way over to the States is there anywhere else we can plug a USB cable in throughout the resort. We are staying at All Star Sports and was wondering if there is a drop off point or something like that?

Much appreciated

While I sincerely doubt that there is a "dropoff" point like that anywhere in WDW, why don't you just buy an AC adaptor for your iPod? I have one that has a changeable plug (so that I can use it in both Europe and North America - bought it from Apple). If you ever need to reinstall your software, you're going to need to plug it into a non-computer power source anyway.. :wave:

Sorry, don't mean to be rude, but, why would you wear an ipod when your in WDW? Don't you want to hear what's going on around you? For my personal choice, I don't want to miss a thing no matter what it is. But, to each their own. Enjoy your trip.:)

I agree that missing the ambience inside the parks is a shame, but I'm thinking in this instance it's more for the long long hours racked up to and from the UK - airports and planes can be a tad dull.

I just purchased a cheap wall adaptor to bring with us. And the newer iPods have picture holding capacties, meaning you can transfer digital images to them to clear your card. That's why I brought my iPod to the world. Plus, I used it on the plane ride there and back.

Well i can't swim so when i'm hanging round the pools at the hotel while my family and friend go in it means i can be there as well but without having to go in the pool.

Plus barnum's right regarding the journey, 9 hours is not the best and there's only so many times you can watch the movies over and over, lol.

Your iPod didn't come with a wall charger? Both of mine did. It plugs into the wall and you plug the USB or FireWire cord into it.

No it didn't. It just came with a basic USB cable for it to hook up to my PC, its looking like i am gonna have to get a wall charger. Can the UK one's be used in the States?

I don't have an I-pod so can't say, but check the voltage on the charger - see if it's dual voltage. If it lists 110v then you are OK - though it will need a plug adaptor to fit the American two prong socket.

This is true, I had not thought of that, but I still have to wonder, why have an ipod and have only one way to recharge it? I have an mp3 player, it doesn't hold as much as an ipod, and I don't have that much money for one either, even the nano,( which apple is in trouble with anyway), and there isn't that much music that I would like to listen too. I use mine for when I work out in the gym, keeps me at a pace that keeps the heart going and me from looking like I'm not 47, (insert vanity here):animwink:

That's so odd it didn't come with a a/c adapter. Is that a new thing? We have two 4th Generations and our boxes came packed with them - no problem. That's pretty cheesy if they stopped packaging them in the box.

You can find them online but also in almost any store like Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, etc.

Sounds like investing in one of these adaptors is a good idea. I recently got a Nano for Christmas and there was no adaptor of any kind. Sounds like the duty-free shops are a good idea, will have to check that one out.

All of the newer generations of Ipods do not come with a USB power adapter now a days. (Shuttle, Nano, Video ) It's now a quick way for apple to try to rack another $29 bucks on to the bill.
