Hi there Melissa!
Thanks for sending your question to planDisney. Prepare to wash your cares away as I help you prepare for your visit to the
Most Magical Place on Earth!
I almost always do laundry on vacation. It allows me to pack lighter and worry less about my little ones making a mess of their clothes. Bonus: the fewer pieces of clothing I bring, the more room in my luggage for souvenirs! It's super convenient to do laundry at the
Walt Disney World Resorts, and the machines accept credit or debit cards as payment. Since a Visa gift card works like a credit card, you will be able to use this as well. I like to bring single-use laundry detergent pods from home, but soap is available from vending machines that also accept credit or debit cards. One of the most convenient features of the Walt Disney World Resort laundry facilities is the ability to time your laundry from a mobile device! You'll find instructions for this posted on the walls of the laundry room.
The Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando - Disney Springs Area offers guest laundry. I spoke with a front desk employee who shared that the machines here only accept debit and credit cards, and a Visa gift card would likely function the same as a debit or credit card. Best wishes for a wonderful stay at both resorts!
During your time at Drury Plaza Hotel - Orlando Disney Springs Area, you'll be just around the corner from the exciting shopping and dining of
Disney Springs. While you can browse for unique merchandise in over 100 stores, you will not find pre-paid Visa gift cards. You can, however, acquire
Disney Gift Cards here, which you can use to pay for nearly everything in the Walt Disney World Resort.
I hope this is helpful, Melissa. Thanks again for visiting us at
planDisney, and feel free to reach out again if there's anything else we can do to make your vacation even more magical.
