105: Best Places to Work at Walt Disney World + Last-Minute Halloween Tips

Planning a Disney trip is magical — but it isn’t always perfectly polished. Sometimes it’s last minute, a little messy, and still completely worth it. In this episode of The Well Hello Magic Podcast, we dive into two highly searched, very real Disney topics: working remotely at Walt Disney World and how to pull off a last-minute Halloween trip without losing your mind.

If you’ve ever tried to juggle work and Disney, or found yourself planning a trip with only days to spare, this episode walks through what actually works, what doesn’t, and how to stay flexible without sacrificing the magic.

Working Remotely at Walt Disney World: Where Productivity Meets Magic

We start with one of the most practical topics for parents, creators, and professionals visiting Disney: finding good places to work remotely at Disney World.

Whether you need to:

  • Check emails before heading to the parks

  • Squeeze in a few hours of work during a trip

  • Take a call without Main Street U.S.A. chaos in the background

Where you sit matters.

We go beyond the obvious hotel room desk and talk about quiet corners, hidden gems, and low-traffic spots that actually work for getting things done.

Remote Work Spots We Talk About

  • Tucked-away lounges at Disney’s Riviera Resort

  • The airy Solarium at Disney’s Beach Club Resort

  • Sneaky park spots like the upstairs of Columbia Harbour House

We focus on:

  • Comfortable seating

  • Reliable Wi-Fi

  • Lower foot traffic

  • Enough background magic to stay inspired without distraction

This section is especially helpful for families blending work and vacation or creators trying to keep content and deadlines moving while traveling.

Planning a Last-Minute Disney Halloween Trip (Yes, It’s Still Magical)

Next, we shift into real-life last-minute Disney planning, because that’s exactly what’s happening right now.

I changed our Halloween trip plans just 10 days out, and yes — we changed our costumes again this week.

We talk honestly about:

  • How to prioritize when time is limited

  • Where to focus your energy when you’re planning fast

  • What you can realistically accomplish last minute

  • What to let go of

This part of the episode is especially helpful for families wondering if it’s still worth going when plans come together late.

Spoiler: it absolutely can be.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the Last Minute

Because Halloween trips usually involve party decisions, we also talk about Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party and whether it’s still worth attending when you’re planning close to the date.

This section helps families think through:

  • Expectations for last-minute party planning

  • How to approach the night without overplanning

  • Why flexibility matters more than perfection

Testing a New Disney Planning App: Wait Magic

We also talk about testing out Wait Magic, a Disney trip-planning app that reached out to me.

I share:

  • What I’ll be looking for when testing it

  • Why real-time wait times and crowd patterns matter

  • How new tools can support smarter, less stressful planning

If it works well, it could become another helpful option in the Disney planning toolkit — and I’ll be sharing honest feedback as I test it in real time.
