There are many reasons to consider using a laundry service during a Walt Disney World trip and for some Disney guests who are visiting the most magical place on Earth for an extended stay, laundry facilities are essential. Whether you wish to save on luggage, find you have run out of clean clothes or have young children who get messy quickly, if you are staying on Walt Disney World property, your resort will have its own dedicated laundry service. Walt Disney World’s laundry facilities are quick, convenient and affordable without compromising your precious time or budget.

What are the self-service laundry facilities at Walt Disney World?

Every Walt Disney World Resort has access to self-service laundry facilities on property with some resorts offering multiple laundry locations. Walt Disney World’s laundry rooms are generally conveniently located with many opposite the pool allowing you to enjoy the sun or have a quick swim whilst waiting for your laundry to finish. Many of the laundry rooms also include a few chairs, vending machines and televisions as well as phones allowing you to contact your room or the front desk. The laundry rooms are open 24 hours a day and closed rooms can be accessed by room key or Magic Band.

All Walt Disney World laundry rooms are now equipped with LaundryView technology, a convenient service saving you time and effort with real time information available for each laundry room. The free web app, which can be found at laundryview.com, allows you to search for your Walt Disney World resort and a specific laundry room to check machine availability as well as load status meaning no more walking your load down to find that all the machines are unavailable. The web app also identifies any machines that are out of order and allows you to report any problems you encounter. You can also view the weekly statistics to see the typically busy time periods which can be helpful to plan your laundry into your itinerary.  Once your cycle has started, you can keep updated on its progress via the LaundryView web app or alternatively, you can activate text alerts to receive a message when your laundry has finished. To activate this service, click on notification settings when viewing the laundry room, enter your phone number and select the machine you wish to receive alerts for.
