Laundry question About This Page:

We bring our own! When we were there last week, we took along what I feel is the best thing to happen to traveling and laundry: The Purex 3 in 1 laundry sheets. Each sheet has detergent, fabric softener, and anti- static in it. I loved using these, and they are air travel friendly since they are not a liquid, not to mention they are light to carry. This is what I used, normally at home I use Tide detergent and Downy fabric softener and I carry it to the world too, but I found these sheets and decided to give them a try and I found them to be quite an adequate substitute. Oh and I am not sure how all other resorts are but we stayed at the Contemporary last week, and the machines have changed so now you don't use coins, instead the machines use your key to the world card to turn them on and start your laundry. It is so much simpler!

We have always ordered stuff from garden grocer and they carry small 2 load laundry soap bottles so i just add that to my grocery list.

I would use snack sized ziplocs and create my own 1 load portions of powder detergent. I now use liquid, so I purchased the travel ALL at Target for $1 for 2 loads. Put the detergent, dryer sheets and a roll of quarters in a big ziploc bag and you are good to go. I also travel with a collapsible mesh laundry basket from wal-mart. It works great and takes up almost no room in the suitcase.

I took my own little box of tide, and a small container of bounce sheets. I only did two loads at WL. The soap is way expensive if you buy it there.

Ooo, can anyone confirm that they've seen that at other resorts? I would LOVE that!

That is AWESOME!!! I hope it is at all the resorts.

We've always brought our own - detergent, dryer sheets and quarters. That would be great news if you can use your key card now! I picked up a package of the purex sheets to try this time.

One of the best times I have had at Disney was while I was doing Laundry. We were staying at the Vacation villas (Yes, I am old). The laundry was at the pool, and I sat there and read a book (wish I had thought of an adult beverage but it was 8 am). My then 3 and 6 year old children were keeping their dad and grandma busy by letting the ducks in our townhouse and offering them a loaf of bread. Boy was I glad that I was "busy doing the laundry".

I always bring my own! Target had little packs of liquid tide, and I just throw some bounce sheets into a sandwich bag!

at 1.25 per single load box, I'm going to go emphatically with TAKE YOUR OWN!!!
