There is a laundry facility next to each pool, so there's three locations - Cars, Nemo, and soon Little Mermaid.

Laundry supplies are available for purchase, but I don't know the current pricing.

(My advice would be to look for a travel or small sized version of detergent and pack it with you. I've brought sample packs of All detergent that I got at a warehouse club.)

THANK YOU! That helps a lot!

If you don't have free sample sizes, you can measure out laundry soap into zipper baggies. Soooo much cheaper. I also make sure I have a couple rolls of quarters for washing and drying. Even if you don't plan on doing laundry, you may get caught in a couple of afternoon downpours and need to dry shoes, etc.

The laundry room has a change machine.
I picked up single size packets of laundry detergent at someplace like Walmart or Target in the travel size section.

Did I read somewhere that the laundry machines are also on the RFID so I can charge it to the room?

That would be cool, but my guess is that the door to the laundry room is activated that way.

As for quarters, I take them because I do laundry at 5am when the change machine is sometimes empty.

I used these at POP. They're sheets that have detergent and softener. They worked great! I got them at either Target or my grocery store; I can't remember...

Purex Complete 3-in-1 Pure and Clean

I've used the Purex 3-in-1 sheets and they work great. They also are very easy to pack.

Another thing to think about... many times, the detergent you can purchase at the laundry facilities is Tide and I'm very allergic to it. Because of this, I always bring my own and have found the 3-in-1 sheets work fantastic.

There are coin operated lockers in the change/washrooms at the pool.

i use the purex 3 in 1 sheets too! they are awesome!!

if you dont like purex, most of the brands of detergent make those "toss n go" packets now as well.

The family suites have a microwave and refrigerator in each suite.

Just an FYI on the Purex if you are sensitive to laundry product scents.. double bag them in your luggage. I find them really strong. Not too bad to wash with, but way too strong just sitting in the suitcase if the box has been opened.

I love the Tide Pods! Use them at home. Great at stains and easy to pack.

Thank you! Do you have any idea how big they are??

I was worried about those toss and go packets getting punctured by something and making a huge mess. I don't usually do laundry on vacation anyway. I buy the Purex 3 in 1 sheets for DH when he goes away with his Reserve unit, they are so easy to pack for him and easier for him to deal with one product.

I agree. I put a few from the package into a ziploc and packed with the toiletries rather that the clothes. Also chose the pure and clean version rather than the other scents (spring, etc.) to try and cut back on that.
