I had an enlightening experience working my remote desk job from Disney World’s four theme parks for an entire week. Despite the challenge of finding indoor locations to work from, the park itself served as a constant source of inspiration. In the future, I plan to bring my own lunch to save money while working in this magical setting.
As someone who works as a freelance writer, my job entails conducting extensive research and brainstorming unique story ideas that haven’t been told before. The presence of hundreds of diverse guests from around the world and the captivating loop music and themed decor in each area of the parks provided a constant source of inspiration. I discovered that simply sitting in bustling areas or walking from one location to another sparked potential story ideas.
Surprisingly, I found myself missing my computer monitor more than I anticipated. Though an extra monitor isn’t a requirement for my job, it does make tasks like referencing multiple tabs and staying organized significantly easier. Not having my usual setup caused some tasks to take longer than usual. While it was technically possible for me to bring my monitor to the parks, it would have been impractical and cumbersome, making it inconvenient during security checks.
Being able to reward myself with character meetings or treats after completing each task significantly boosted my productivity. Unlike in my home office, where distractions like social media often hinder my focus, having something to look forward to at Disney World helped me work more efficiently. I believe in celebrating small wins in life and incorporating magical moments throughout the day made working at the parks even more enjoyable.
I was surprised by the limited availability of indoor seating areas at Disney World. Despite the intense Florida heat, there were few options for finding air-conditioned spaces to work from. Most of the indoor seating areas were situated within quick-service dining locations. While it’s sometimes possible to sit at a table without purchasing food, there are instances where staff may request proof of a mobile order or intent to order food. To secure a comfortable spot indoors, it’s advisable to have a few dollars on hand for a potential purchase.
Considering the pricey nature of some food options at Disney World, I plan to bring my own lunch next time to save money. While the convenience of buying a meal from a quick-service restaurant is undeniable, I found that many of these options are overpriced for mediocre food. Spending $10.50 on a chicken-strip meal at Magic Kingdom’s Columbia Harbour House made me realize I’d rather save my money for a special occasion and indulge in a table-service meal. Additionally, it’s worth noting that my annual passholder discount couldn’t be applied at quick-service dining spots.
