Hi Regina,
Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for bringing your question our way for your upcoming trip the
Walt Disney World Resort. It looks like your special trip is just around the corner as we enter a new year – what a wonderful thing to look forward to after the holidays!
Disney Resorts Collection hotel amenities are reserved for Guests staying at those resorts each day. This includes exclusive use of the resort pools and amenities such as
laundry facilities and services. Guests staying elsewhere are welcome to make
dining reservations at resorts such as
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and enjoy that experience on property, but you may not use the laundry facility if you are not currently staying there. I also spoke with a helpful Cast Member who confirmed that even if you are a
Disney Vacation Club Member you may not use the facilities at a Disney Vacation Club Resort unless you are a current Guest staying there.
I’ve stayed at several off property resorts, including
official Walt Disney World Resort hotels in the Disney Springs area, and they nearly always have their own laundry facilities. If this is important to you in planning your packing, I encourage you to call the resort and inquire about what’s available at your specific hotel for your use prior to arriving.
I hope you have a magical stay and enjoy your special time in the theme parks during this January visit! Please let us know how else we can help.
Wishing you a practically perfect vacation,
Amy
