laundry service at AKL

[erin1998]

Good afternoon all....
We are leaving on thursday for 9 days at AKL... I planned on doing some laundry while we are down there, but the more I think about it, the more I don't want to be doing laundry....
My question is....does AKL have a laundry service that I can send out my clothes to be cleaned. I know that they have laundry facilities available for me to do my own laundry, but can I have it sent out to be done for me?
Any help would be appreciated!

Yes - but its pretty expensive. We looked into doing this at the WL several years ago and the bill for laundry was so high we decided to just pack more clothes. I want to say when we added it up it came to around $300.00

We sent 6 days worth of clothes (underwear, shorts and shirts) the day before we departed Disney for a 7 day cruise. The total was a little over $100.00. But it was well worth every cent not to have to do it myself while on vacation.

We left it before we left the park for the day and when we returned from the day everything was hanging up in the closet, washed, dryed and pressed (excluding the underwear which were in boxes on the bed).

Thanks for your responses...
I know it will be expensive, but I just don't see myself doing laundry! I hate doing it at home, and hate it even more when I am on holidays.... Does anyone have a price list of items to be washed?
Thanks again

I'll check later tonight, I might still have my completed invoice in our scrap book box (we keep random stuff like this). Otherwise, I think it was like $2.00 for a piece of underwear, $3.00 a shirt and like $4.00 a pair of shorts or something like that.

Thanks again....

I use a wash and fold near Disney in a little strip mall on Apopka Vineland where the Steak and Shake is. It costs about $20 to $25 for a large bag. They do a great job. We have been using them for the last 11 or so years.
