I've stayed at both resorts. The safes at POFQ are identical to the ones at POR, so if the POR safe was too small for you in '06, the POFQ safe will also be too small.
No way will a laptop fit in the safe. I think it is designed to hold money, jewelry, things like that. You could drop your laptop off at the front desk every morning and have them lock it away with the other luggage. That might be an option for you.
No way. Not even my baby 12" laptop comes close. My iPod and photodisk (which is about 3" x 1" X 4") was about all it held. It is only about 3" deep so even a large camera won't fit.
