New to DVC and have a few simple questions

[WIDisneyFan]

We are long time Disney visitors and now we are new DVC memebers at Bay Lake Tower (just need to finish off the paperwork when we get back home). I realize that Bay Lake Tower is not yet open, but I would appreciate hearing your answers for wherever you have stayed.

After our visit to the "Open House" we were hooked and will be doing a 1 bedroom from this point forward. After we got back to the Poly we thought of a few simple questions and were curious what others have experienced. (I would have called our sales agent but to be honest they are just to minor to do that lol)

• Is there dishwasher detergent in the kitchen area? If not is it available for a reasonable price at the resort?
• What is your experience with cost / availability of laundry detergent?

I can't answer your question about the dishwasher detergent. However, the 1-bedroom units come with a single use box of Tide. Each DVC resort has laundry rooms for guests to use (remember that studio units don't have a washer/dryer), and they have vending machines selling single use boxes of Tide, Cheer, Downy, and Bounce sheets for $1.00. We were told that Bay Lake Tower will have at least one public laundry room.

BTW, Welcome Home!

The kitchen of a one bedroom will have both dishwashing liquid, and detergent for the dishwasher machine.

You receive a pak of Tide for one load, but I found the new Purex 3 in 1 sheets to be excellent for the washing machine. We took them a couple of weeks ago to AKV and they were great! Bringing some to BLT on our next trip.
