Yes, I think the magic band charging would of been a better option.

Yes but that would require a change to MDE, which coul run into 7 figures. Then you will be allowed to make laundry reservations 60 days in advance, so that's good, right??????

I checked out the thread that Ed referenced since another poster said they were installing the new laundry machines this week. I have to say I am impressed!

If you go to the website you can look at each comfort station in the Fort and see how many machines are in use before you head out with your laundry in tow. I think that's pretty awesome, especially in addition to getting a text when your laundry is done. It does look like there was a price increase to 2.50 per load though, figures. Here's the link in case anyone else wants it!

I thought so too! I HATE doing laundry on vacation and I've had it happen before where I've gotten to the laundry room with all my dirty stuff and had no open machines to use (at other camgrounds), so I think this is a pretty cool feature to be able to check for open machines before leaving my camper. I'm pretty happy about this

It would be nice to have the same thing for a shower. last time we were there, I went to the showers and my DD's BF was with us. So he went for a shower too. There were 3 stalls, one not in use. He let me go first. I figured the other 2 stalls wouldn't be that much longer. WRONG! While I didn't take a long leisurely shower, I wasn't exactly racing to get done. I felt so bad when I came out (about 10 minutes later) and he is STILL waiting for a stall.

He got his shower, came out, and the other 2 stalls, STILL had the same 2 people in them. Talk about courtesy. I felt bad about a 10 minute shower, never mind a 30 minute shower. I think they were trying to see if they could drain all the hot water.
