Oh, I *used* to do laundry mid-way through our stay but I didn't enjoy it. With 5 kids, we didn't always have the space in the van to be able to pack enough clothes for 10 days for 7 people. I *hated* doing laundry during our stay. I did not enjoy lugging our laundry to a different building. I could sometimes fit everything in one washer but usually needed to use 2 or 3 dryers for each washer load. We don't spend a lot of time in the pool, so if there were no washers immediately available I'd have to wait for the washer to finish up while DH & the kids would go off and do something else...and then I'd wait for dryers...it usually ended up being a 2-3+ hour project for me. Now that the kids are older (teens and adults) and we don't all travel in one car, we have space to pack more clothes. If the washer and dryer were in our room (or even possibly in our building), I'd probably do a few loads of laundry during the week. But it doesn't really feel like vacation to me if I'm still doing laundry or cooking. And my husband is pretty adamant that he wants me to feel like I'm on vacation and not just "working" in a different location. So I don't do laundry while we're at Disney (or anywhere else we go on vacation).
Agree, I don't want to do laundry either and I'm the 5th wheel of our group so, I've only got my cloths to deal with. Like you stated in an earlier post I also wear 2 shirts, socks, undies (I'm a guy) every day. We always return for an afternoon break and it's amazing how much better I feel changing to a new outfit and shoes for the evening.
For this vacation, I plan on only wearing quick dry shirts and have 2 or 3 QD shorts. I purchased a few sink laundry detergent packs and plan on washing those shirts/shorts in the sink before bed once or twice. Themshirts should be dry in the morning and wrinkle free.
