If You Need to Do Laundry at Art of Animation (We’ve Got the Details!)
Disney’s Art of Animation has three laundry facilities, one at each pool. So, if the need arises to do laundry during your stay, you have options. Below, we’ll preview the laundry facilities and details you’ll need to know ahead of your trip.
Formerly, the laundry rooms took credit and debit cards. However, that changed. Now, you have to scan a QR code with your mobile phone. The instructions on the sign below read:
- Momentarily tap the machine sticker with your NFC-capable smartphone or scan a machine code with your smartphone camera or QR code.
- Pay with Google Pay, Apple Pay, or a credit card.
- Load the machine and press start.
Or you can visit MyCSCGO.com to start your load of laundry.
Other:
- Art of Animation does not have a coin-operated laundry option.
- If you want to use Disney’s dry cleaning or valet laundry service, you must drop off your items with bell services before 9:00 a.m. Laundry prices vary per piece of laundry.
Laundry in the Finding Nemo Section
We’ll start with the laundry room at The Big Blue Pool, which is part of the Finding Nemo section of the resort. A building to the far right of the pool comprises the restrooms, changing areas, and laundry room. As you can see in the photo below, the laundry room has a separate entrance.
Inside, you’ll find a laundromat with six washers. Ten dryers line the back wall. Laundry costs approximately $3.00 a load for the washer or dryer.
Two folding tables are available in the center of the laundry room.
Several vending machines have Coca-Cola products and snacks. This is a good place to remember if you’re in need of a late-night snack or beverage after everything has closed.
On the opposite wall, a vending machine sells laundry detergent and fabric softener. These machines still take credit cards for the time being. Detergent usually costs $1.00 a box. We use the green box, which is suitable for two to three loads. So check the back of the box to see how much detergent to use.
Unfortunately, the former Laundry View service signs have been removed at the resorts. This service was exceptionally helpful in identifying whether machines were available before you visited the facility. If you’ve ever visited Walt Disney World during the holidays or Spring break, you know that sometimes machines are unavailable.
Laundry in The Little Mermaid Section
Down on The Little Mermaid end of the resort, a laundry room is available at the Flippin’ Fins Pool.
It is identical in size and layout to the laundry room in the Finding Nemo section.
Laundry in the Cars Section
Lastly, a laundry room is available at the Cozy Cone Pool. This pool sits in the center of the Cars section of the resort.
It has the same amount of machines as the other laundry areas. However, the layout is a little different. Folding tables are available at the back of this laundry room.
You can see them better here. You might also notice that carts are available to help move your laundry from the washer to the dryer.
Unfortunately, The Lion King section of the resort does not have a laundry room or a pool. So, if you stay in that section, you’ll want to use the laundry room at the Flippin’ Fins Pool or The Big Blue Pool.
We have a separate article with more details and photos of the pools at Disney’s Art of Animation. It includes photos of the showers and changing areas near the laundry rooms.
