    Hi! I am travelling from England in August to POR and I have been hearing that there have been issues with international guests paying for laundry services at Disney hotels. Are there any changes to be aware of since we last visited in 2024? Thanks!

    Welcome back to planDisney, Victoria, I'm delighted to help a fellow Guest from the UK plan a trip to The Most Magical Place on Earth!

    Port Orleans Riverside is a beautiful resort, and it won't be long until you're strolling alongside the Sassagoula River! For a unique experience, you could also relax and explore your resort on a Horse-Drawn Carriage Ride.

    If you're anything like me, Victoria, my family goes through so many outfits on our Disney World holidays, so it's great to utilise the laundry facilities at the resorts. It also means there is more space in your suitcase for those magical Disney souvenirs on your way home, as you don't need to pack quite so many clothes!

    Port Orleans Riverside has self-service laundry rooms equipped with washers and dryers, so your clothes will be sparkling in no time! Most accept credit or debit cards, and when I visited recently, I was able to use my UK credit card without any issues. I spoke to a Cast Member, and they hadn't been aware of any recent issues with laundry payments. However, if you come across any obstacles, just head to the Front Desk of your hotel, and a Cast Member will happily assist.

    Top Tip: If you'd like your Fairy Godmother to wave her magic wand and whisk away your laundry, there are Dry Cleaning and Valet Laundry Services available as well! Just let Housekeeping know that you'd like to schedule a pick up, then head to the parks to enjoy your day! 

    I hope this has helped make your trip practically perfect in every way, Victoria! If you have any more questions, you always have a friend in me at planDisney.

    Magic Awaits,

    Abi
