I think they have them... has anyone ever used them during their stay? We will be arriving at Disney with a week's worth of dirty laundry. :(
 
I know they have them and i believe they are on the 2nd floor? Someone who knows for sure what floor can chime in.
 
Yes, second floor, I used the elevators by Napa Rose to get to them. There were quite a few washers and dryers. My strategy was leave family in the room to do laundry, put washing on, head to Hearthstone Lounge for a beverage (adult), return to put clothes in dryer, another beverage or two, collect clothes and stumble back in the room with clean laundry. Everybody happy :teeth:
 
I was very surprised by the Laundry Room, large dryers and washers with easy to understand instructions.

According to what a CM said, there are two of them. One evening I went down to the Laundry Room near Napa Rose. I was the only one down there and the best part was that EVERYTHING WAS FOR FREE, Dryers, Washers, Dryer Sheets and Detergent. I used so many dryer sheets for my underwear and socks :rotfl::rotfl:

I like the smell of BOUNCE, it is similar to our LENOR

using a vending machine without putting money in it can be so much fun

Doing the laundry is the perfect time to write postcards ;)
 

Thanks for info everyone! We'll be arriving in the evening, so this should work out great. I'll send my family to the pool and get some laundry done.... FOR FREE... that's awesome! I'm shocked about that.

I also like the Hearthstone lounge idea too. I think the laundress deserves a drink. ;)

Interesting. This is the first post about free laundry, except VGC studio guests receive free tokens. I hope this is a permanent policy change, but OP should bring some cash.

A map of the laundry room locations:

The larger laundry room is on the 2nd floor, with 6 washers and 12 dryers. There is no 2nd floor hallway connecting this area with other wings of the hotel, so the elevator near Napa Rose should be used. The door requires a room key.

A second laundry room was added on the 1st floor along with the VGC wing, with 2 washers and 4 dryers. This room was added to support the VGC studios (villas without washer/dryers), but is available for all GCH guests. The door is unlocked. There is also a little used outside area across the hall, with tables and chairs (quite noisy, since Goofy's Sky School literally overlooks this area).

Thanks so much for the info! We booked a courtyard view, same as last year. The room we had last year was over the entrance to DCA and had a pretty decent (partially obstructed) view. I will try to get that location again this year. Looks like it would be convenient to the laundry room, as well.
