Hi Nishta!
Welcome to planDisney.
Like yourself I visit from the UK, and usually stay for two weeks, so laundry is an essential part of my trip! The
self-service laundry facilities at the Disney Resort hotels are very easy to use, and if you have a spare morning at the resort this is the perfect time to catch up with your laundry, and a good excuse to relax by the pool!
The use of washers and dryers cost around $3 each, and can be paid by debit or credit card. You will find detergent dispensers in the laundry room, and these cost around $1 each. (
All prices are subject to change.) You are welcome to bring your own detergents if you prefer. I bring my own laundry pods, colour-catcher sheets and stain-removing powder, and throw it all in together - that way I can do a quicker wash on a lower temperature, with colours and white clothes together to save time.
At
Disney's Contemporary Resort, the self-service laundry room is located close to the main feature pool, in the South Garden Wing.
I recommend that you visit the Laundryview.com website where you can enter your preferred laundry room (anywhere at Walt Disney World) and it will show which machines are available for use - this will save you taking all your laundry over there, only to find there are no machines free. Once you've started your washing cycle, you'll see how many minutes it will take - I set an alarm on my phone, so I can forget about it until it's time to move it all into the dryer! I usually allow around 2 hours to do the whole lot.
Please come back and visit us if you have any further questions, and you can
send me a direct question if you wish. We will be happy to help you plan your magical holiday to Walt Disney World!
