A couple VWL questions

[jtowntoflorida]

We're staying in a 1 bedroom villa at VWL using rented points in October. I have a couple of questions...

1. I think I've read here before that a Pack-n-Play will fit in the walk in closet. True or false? Has anyone actually done that with success? If so, is there still room left to hang/store things, or does the PNP take up the entire space?

2. I'm trying to settle on the sleeping arrangements for our daughter, who will turn 5 on the trip. Our kids go to bed early so I was thinking that I could put her to sleep in the bedroom while we hang out in the living room (the baby will be in the PNP, I guess in the closet). I don't think she'll want to sleep on the pull out alone in the living room. Anyway, I'm trying to decide whether to bring her little blow up mattress, or just pull the couch cushions off and set her up on that. What do you think? The grownups are DEFINITELY gettign the king bed, and we don't sleep with our children.

3. This may be a stupid question, but I can't seem to find the answer...are pool towels provided if you're staying on points? I don't want to bring our own pool towels if not necessary.

4. This is unrelated to VWL...in the interest of packing light, I'd like to bring those little laundry detergent tab things. The only brand I've seen is Tide, though, and my daughter is highly sensitive to Tide and breaks out in a rash if she wears clothes washed in Tide. Are there any other detergent brands that come in this form?

Thanks for your help.

I have never stayed in the villas, but i can tellyou that pool towels are available in a towel cart at both of the pools at the WL.

Purex makes a sheet that has laundry detergent and fabric softener so you move it with the laundry right into the dryer. I haven't used them, but they have been mentioned here on the dis a lot.

1. I don't know and I don't think I would do it.
2. Kids can fall asleep anywhere just throw them on the pullout and go into your room, Get a bottle of wine and some popcorn and relax.
3. Pool towels are provided at the pool, plenty to go around. But room towels are a different story, if you want more room towels you need to purchase them.
4. I can't answer that for you.

The cushions do not come off of the sofa at the VWL. It is all one piece, and the cushions fold under the bed when it is pulled out. I use Purex brand washing powders when I am at Disney.

There is a laundry detergent called Dropps (you can get it on Amazon) that makes individual "laundry pacs." I have used them and they work fine. They have liquid in them but I haven't had any problems transporting them in a suitcase. Some say that they are scent and dye free.

I have also used the Purex laundry detergent sheets and they work fine too.
