Laundry at GF Big Pine Key

[kateandy08096]

Hi everyone. I just read there are only 2 washers for the studios. On which floor are they located? I will be staying there in March before our Disney cruise and will need to do wash. Are the washers in the actual DVC building able to be used since we are members? Thanks everyone

I don't think the BPK Laundryview status has worked since the building reopened in March 2022. Every time I've looked, it just says "unknown."

Same for BWV the first week of September. There might be something going on with the service in general.

I didn't check for Kidani, but luckily I found them available. I had a room on the other side of the building and I got my daily steps goal just doing the laundry, checking multiple times would have been enough for marathon training

Hi! Any updates on experiences with 2 washers to accommodate 200 studios?

This laundryview still doesn’t even seem to working either! I wonder if we can use the machines in the other building with the DVC villas.

We are staying there right now and I didn’t have any issues with availability in the afternoon hours when we did laundry.

Is it true that there’s only 2 washers and 2 dryers? Where in the building is it located?

Yes. That’s true. It’s a tiny laundry room. It’s on the ground floor. If you enter the building from the pool side you turn right and it’s in the hallway towards the rooms just at the start on the left hand side.

I will desperately need to do laundry during our stay, I wonder what the other options would be if I can’t get a machine! (And NO, won’t do laundry at 3am)

Having only two for all those studios is absurd. Why on earth?

There are other laundry rooms. Those for regular guests you would have to pay to use them. The other DVC building has a laundry room, too, but is quite a bit away.

I did not have a problem getting a machine one afternoon, so you might find that it’s not as bad as it sounds, too. But if it is a problem, I would talk to the front desk. They could waive the charge for using another laundry room for example.

Do you need a laundry card to use them?

Its a mess. We spent so much time in the lobby waiting out a machine. Others waiting to pull out members' clothing as soon as the bizzer goes off. I've shared my sentiments with Member Services. If we all say something they might fix that. Would probably take away a room to do it, but do we really need that model there? There's gotta be some more space in the bdlg to make a convenient full room.

I was there in June and it was never available any time of day I tried to use the machines. One day there was a man standing guard outside with baskets lined up as spent the entire afternoon doing his and his family’s laundry. It was ridiculous!

This being value season might be helping things. We're there during holidays mainly and it's a completely different story.

Guess it's at front desk's discretion. We told them of our issues and they didn't offer anything but for us to tell member services. We did walk over to DVC1 though.

Why wouldn't they buy more washers and dryers? The owners will pay for them, right?

Kidani is a huge resort, and 2 washers seems to be enough. The difference is BPK is only studios, so yes I agree, they need more.
