Mousekeeping

[MrsWaltDisney86]

We just joined DVC after numerous trips and in June will be making our first trip to Disney as DVC Members staying at our home resort AKV. We are going for 7 nights/8days.

My Question is Mousekeeping. I know its provided on the 4th day as a towel and trash service only. So Do they not change bed sheets? Also, if we need just bedding changed sooner than on the 4th day, can we? and is it extra?

The reason I ask is we will be traveling with a 12 week old who will be in a crib and a 4 year old who still occasionally wets the bed.

Also while I'm at it we are in a Studio which I know does not have in-room washer/dryers but AKV says it has 24 hour self service laundry...is this free? (We are over in Kidani)

Thanks Everyone for you Help!

To access this information on the website go to Destinations – top bar, then Disney Vacation Club Resorts Overview (or a specific resort), then Amenities, then Laundry and Housekeeping Service.

Each resort either has a single laundry room (for the single buildings) or at the pools (for the spread out resorts - OKW and SSR). You need your room key to access the laundry room, but it is free to use. You need your own detergent and other additives.

For potential problems with bed wetters, you might want to make sure you have something waterproof to put under you child to avoid ruining the mattress.
