Bringing a Laptap on Vacation

[JanetRose]

I'm staying at a Doubletree while visiting Disneyland this year and want to bring my laptop - do you think it will be safe in the room when I'm at the parks?

I bring my laptop everytime I travel (I access my office that way) and put it in my luggage while I'm gone. Most of the time the safe provided is not big enough for it.

So far so good.

We have always brought our laptop to Disney..for years and have never had a problem.

If you really want your laptop with you and you are concerned MOST hotels have a SAFE at the front desk that you can ask them to lock it up while you are away for the day!!

I'm assuming here that you've invested the $15 and bought a security cable for your laptop. This is a braided steel cable that locks into a slot on the laptop and prevents it from being removed. If you've got a lock, then it's unlikely that it will be stolen, though the hotel would not be responsible if it were. We bring ours, but make sure to back it up before each trip (a good habit to get into in any case).

I figure you laptop is about as safe in a hotel room as it is in an ungarded house back home. I just keep mine out of site and don't worry about it. If you want to feel secure, you can always get a cable lock.

My DH travels the world (not just the World) with his laptop and leaves it in hotel rooms all the time. While I agree with the poster about backing up your information - always a good idea - I think your laptop will do just fine on your vacation.

Enjoy!

We always bring the laptop as well! We put it away somewhere when we are out. We have not had any issues yet!
