So after changing my mom and kids January trip days and also changing us to Boardwalk Inn to take advantage of extra evening hours, I realized DH could join us since it’s before his ski trip and with him having our travel day off anyway and our late flight home. Instead of his usual remote WFH he could WFD. I have a portable monitor I use when I work away from our house so he’s all set!
All was good and today it occurred to me that none of the room tours I’ve seen show a desk in the room. They have a couch and a chair, but not a desk.
I’ve never stayed at Boardwalk. Any suggestions where one could work while staying there?
I will be facing this same thing in probably September when I am planning a workation at Boardwalk for probably 5 nights, where I work during the day at the hotel.
I plan to ask for an office chair…and will have to use some surface.
I just looked at some pictures. My only suggestion would be to set up on the dresser and ask for a chair. I think it is too low to act as a standing desk. He could always sit on the edge of the couch arm, maybe?
I worked from BW last May. I did multiple meetings and I was even interviewed by a reporter over Zoom, all with no issues.
I think he would prefer it but he can live without it if needed. It’s the same form factor as a 13 inch iPad or tablet so it’s pretty thin but needs to be plugged into the laptop, which assumes you have a place to put it next to the laptop.
It’s all rather hilarious as the other resorts we have been booked into for this trip would have been great. The refurbed Caribbean Beach rooms have a pull up table/desk thing in the coffee table thing in front of the couch. The Riveria room had a table. I love the Epcot location though so I’m happy where we ended up.
I could not work in the lounge just due to confidentiality. I think I would move the chair and either use it as my desktop, near the couch or combine the end self and possibly move the lamp/table combo.
There wasn’t a ton of outlets. DH managed to get one both days. Here’s where he worked Tuesday, and you can see the outlet behind him. He did not use the monitor at all and felt more comfortable with his laptop on his lap, with a pillow he stole from a couch to prop it up.
