It's 6AM - what do to??

[kldmom2000]

kldmom2000--I was thinking that too! We are staying at deluxe for the first time this year and very surprised to find out that they only have around 5 washers for 700+ rooms at WL. Do people in deluxes not do laundry? Sure I could take enough clothes for all week, but I would need a bigger car!

I learned my lesson in 12/04 when my family ran out of clothes 1/2 way through the trip while at the BC..... 5 washers and 5 dryers! They were packed at all hours of the day.... so I finally set my alarm for 4am and the laundry room was empty!

As a mother of a 2 and 4 y.o., I would probably go get coffee and a newspaper and sit on our balcony until the babies wake up.

The laundry idea sounds awesome!

Anyone know if POR has laundry facilities?

And maybe a nice morning jog would be great too!

I love you guys!! You're all so informative. It's nice to be around other Disney-crazed mothers!

All the resorts have laundry facilities. Gosh...the WL laundry set up sounds like a beast. Guess I will have to plan my laundry day this time!

Oh, your post is sooooo true! DS and DD are now 10 (twins), and all I'd have wanted to do when they were 2-4 would've been to have a tranquil moment on a WDW balcony with the newspaper and some oj, and catching glimpses of my sleeping beauties and DH. Life is good.

6AM is one of my favorite times on vacation.
i make a pot of coffee (the snoring drowns out the dripping ), then sit out on the balcony in my PJs, with mug, camera, notebook & pen.

curl up nice & comfy on the chair, sipping java, & watching the sun slowly come up over the boardwalk. the "transformation" wows me everytime:
everything starts out in a sepia tone: the lake, the BC/YC, the BW itself, & the silence all add to the feeling of being in another side of WDW that is yours alone.
then the sun starts coming up, splashing rays of light onto the water. the thumping of joggers, the dads with kids going to the bakery (funny, but its almost always the dad with one child, & the child saying loudly "what is mom (or bro/sister) getting? i think i want a <fill in the blank>!!!" & the dad hushing them. ), the squeaking of laundry carts & quiet chatter.
the thick humidity starts to disipate, as the scent of fresh breads and pastries from the bakery take its place.
like watching a movie in slo-mo, the transformation occurs so slowly, until sun comes out in all its glory, the ferries start their tooting, and guests & CMs fill in the "world".
honestly, i would be totally content with spending an entire vacation just waking up on my balcony 24/7, never visiting parks or going anywhere else....

Best time to do laundry!!!

that is a good suggestion - but I end up doing it at my park break for lunch -

Anyone know if POR has laundry facilities?

yea by all the quiet pools - don't know about the main pool - only remember the restroom there.
