Doing Laundry at Walt Disney World (A List of Every Facility and FAQs)

Who wants to do laundry on vacation? Probably not many of us. Unfortunately, many of us still end up at our resort’s laundry facility during a week-long trip to Walt Disney World. Those reasons range from acquiring a random stain the night before at that character meal (that cost way more than you expected) to recycling your vacation wardrobe because you packed light to avoid luggage fees.

Rest assured, I have never fallen into the latter category. But I do fall into one specific category of laundry-doers on vacation: the one that can’t deal with having dirty laundry pile up in the room after two days.

Oddly, doing laundry on vacation can be a bit of a stress reliever. After standing in line all day in the parks and getting packed into a Disney bus like a can of sardines at the end of the night, you might also feel the need to complete a domestic task.

Sometimes, normalcy is comforting, right? And since most of the resort’s laundry rooms are near pools, why not turn that household chore into a calm, relaxing resort day? You can sleep late, enjoy a casual breakfast, get your laundry started, and hit the pool. It won’t be long before you realize that you’re on vacation.

The saying goes, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” That lemonade might be a tropical drink with a tiny umbrella enjoyed poolside while you’re doing laundry.

Laundry FAQs at Walt Disney World

Laundry works the same way at each Walt Disney World Resort. So below, we’ll look at a few frequently asked questions.

Can you do laundry at Walt Disney World?

Yes, every hotel at Walt Disney World offers laundry facilities, and some hotels have multiple laundry rooms.

How much does it cost to do laundry at the Disney World Hotels?

Laundry ranges between $3.25 to $3.50 per cycle at this time. So, one load of laundry costs roughly $7.00 to wash and dry. Each laundry facility has vending machines that sell laundry detergent for approximately $1.00 per packet.

How does laundry work?

Disney formerly used Laundry View. But this past year, most of the laundromats have transitioned to the CSC GO app. You have to scan the QR code and pay for each load with your mobile device. (They no longer offer a machine on the wall.)

We have done a couple of loads of laundry and found that if you download the app, you’ll get a small discount. It’s also much easier to pay with the app. If you only scan the QR code and pay online without the app, you have to enter your credit card details each time. So, if you have more than one load or visit Walt Disney World often, you’ll want to download the app.

The app is nice, though, because it keeps track of your load and the time left. We used to always set a timer, but now you can open the app, and it will tell you the remaining time for each load. The photo below shows the instructions and the app information. If you know you’ll do laundry, you might want to download it ahead of your vacation.

How long does it take to do laundry?

Most of the wash cycles at Walt Disney World are approximately 30 minutes long, while dryer cycles tend to average 50 minutes per load.

What kind of laundry detergent is available?

Typically, Tide laundry detergent and a free-and-clear allergy-friendly option are available. We usually use allergy-friendly detergent. It has a disclaimer on the package that it’s suitable for multiple loads. We can usually use one packet for 2-3 loads

Do any hotel rooms have private laundry rooms?

Yes, a few upgraded suites at select Disney World Hotels have washers and dryers in the rooms. Additionally, guests staying in a one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or three-bedroom grand villa at a DVC Resort (Disney Vacation Club) will have a washer and dryer in their unit.

Those staying in a deluxe studio at a Disney Vacation Club Resort will have access to a dedicated laundry room at their resort. There is no charge for deluxe studio guests to use these laundry rooms.

Additionally, DVC guests usually get one complimentary package of detergent. However, there’s a $1.00 charge if extra detergent is required. (We’ve often been given an extra pack when requested at the front desk.)

How do I access the laundry room?

Most laundry rooms require a room key or magic band to access. They will have a touchpoint near the door. Once you scan your card or band, the light flashes green, and you’ll have a few seconds to open the door. Unfortunately, you cannot use your magic band to pay for laundry.

I’ve listed our resort laundry guides below. We have photos of each laundromat listed. Some of them (at this time) still show the former Laundry View system. But I believe all of those contracts have run out. We’ll update them as we stay at the resorts again.

Other Laundry Services at Walt Disney World

Guests of a Walt Disney World-owned and operated hotel can take advantage of dry cleaning and valet laundry service. To schedule a pick-up, select “housekeeping” from the phone menu in your room.

If you’re staying at Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, or Disney’s Caribbean Beach, you’ll need to drop off your laundry or dry cleaning with bell services before 9:00 a.m.

Usually, these specialty services come with a high price tag. For example, you might pay $3.00 to have one pair of underwear laundered. There should be a price list available in your hotel room. More details for laundry valet service are available here on Disney’s site.

*All of the hotel rooms have an iron and ironing board available.

Thankfully, Disney has you covered when it comes to laundry facilities. They seem to always think of everything. For more resort-related information, you might enjoy the following articles.
