taking your laptop

[dklam]

DD had hers with her (she was flying back to school from WDW) when we stayed at POR recently, but used it mostly to upload her photos each day. I paid the fee for the internet access the day before we left so I could go online and do Southwest check-in and get our boarding passes. I didn't want to take the chance of getting to guest services and not being helped in time to get those coveted "A" boarding passes ! It was actually nice being without the computer/email for 4 days, but we all had a ton of emails to catch up on!

I was wonderng WHERE everyone keeps their laptop while they are out of their rooms? Does it fit in the room safe?

Most laptops will not fit in a room safe. You can bring a cable and lock and chain it to a piece of furniture in the room, which is what I do. Some people just put it in its case in the closet, or put it in a suitcase with stuff on top of it so that it's not obvious you have a computer. But I'd worry the entire time about it, so I have to secure my electronics.

I plan on taking mine with me when we go and probably will get online a few times but I will also have school stuff to deal with. My laptop has a lojack program so if it is stolen it can be located very easily.

I brought mine for the last trip as the parks closed early and it was nice to use the internet to download and send the pics back home. I did not use the safe I bought a cable lock that worked awesome and locked it to the shelf in the closet. Always use the safe or a cable lock because the time you think you wont need to safely guard your laptop is the time it will be stolen.
