Poly DVC studio buildings - laundry ?

[pooh2001]

Will all the DVC studio buildings have a laundry room ?
Or only Moorea ?

We will rent a Poly DVC and would like to know if the building we are assigned has a laundry room ?

Thank you

The website had incorrect information when we were at PVB.
Also, the soap vending machine didn't work the two days we tried to use it. We had to buy detergent from the Poly shop. DW likes liquid bleach so we had to go to the CR shop to get liquid bleach. Poly doesn't sell liquid bleach.

Another note, washing machines are HE.

The laundry room was very nice too. It had comfy couch.

The soap vending machine wasn't working when we were there May 2 either. We called housekeeping and they brought two boxes of All to our room in about 30 minutes. They said it's a dollar a box, but I haven't seen a charge anywhere.
Since the All is was not HE, the machine, or something posted in the laundry room said to use about two tablespoons of regular detergent.

We could pack HE laundry pods - like the ones Tide makes
I think they have detergent and fabric softener combined into one Tide pod
We could pack them in our packed luggage.

Home Depot sells a small package of them of 5 pods.
Tide $3.00 Spring Meadow Scent
Internet # 204476445 Store SKU # 1000019957

PODS Original Scent Laundry Detergent (5 Count)
Tide Pods HE compatible formula handles a broad range of conditions and soils. Tide Pods have a breakthrough all-liquid three chamber design to protect stability and maximize performance. Tide Pods utilize a new to the world film, designed to dissolve completely, even in cold water. It's Tide clean in a whole new package. And they work in all machine types, and dissolve quickly in hot and cold.
More than enough to do laundry twice during a 10 day vacation at WDW.
Plus if TSA opens our bags - they will see the Tide pods) in their own unopened package.

The washers at VGF are HE as well. The detergent machine worked when we were there in Feb. I bought 1 pack of the HE powder for $1. Used it on 2 loads. We don't use fabric softener. I would assume the Poly machines will be the same as the VGF ones. They are TINY! I'd say at least 1/3 smaller than my 15+ year Maytag front loader!

As previously posted, PVB's laundry room is located on the first floor of the Moorea Longhouse near villa #1003. There are four front loading washing machines and eight dryers. The washers and dryers all looked to be comparable in capacity to the machines I've seen at VGF and BLT. There is a large flatscreen TV and a nice couch in the laundry room.

I'm not sure, but each PVB studio might come equipped with a laundry basket for guests to use. When I was checking out PVB the other day, I saw two different families using the laundry facilities and they each had the exact same white plastic basket. What are the odds that it was a mere coincidence that two families brought identical laundry baskets with them on vacation?

I havent seen that. That is such a good idea (if it works)! Wish I wouldve invented that.

The laundry baskets are part of the studio furnishings.

Is that just for the Poly studios? We are at BLT right now and our studio does not have a laundry basket. In fact, I don't recall having a laundry basket in any of the studios we've stayed in at BLT, AKV, Aulani, SSR, or VWL.

I sure thought there was a laundry basket in all the studios. Must be thinking of the 1 bedrooms. Sorry.

BEAUTIFUL laundry room!

I thought I saw a laundry basket in the Poly studio model at SSR when I purchased, so there very well may be baskets in the Poly studios. I'll check in Sept when I go.

 

[nalajms]

Is it me or does the laundry room seem WAY TOO SMALL for the expected size of the villa? According to the laundry website, there's 3 washers and 6 dryers at BLT for 133 studios possible studios.

Poly's expected to have 360 studios but only 4 washers and 8 dryers? I sure hope they add another laundry room to another building.

I can't believe they only have 1 laundry facility for the resort…..4 washers is insane. My DD and I are going for 10 days in a studio in June and plan to do laundry. Going to be bough to get in to do any laundry.

When Tokelau is done, I wonder if that building will have a laundry room as well.

Are the machines free to use, or do you have to put in dollar bills or use magicbands or something?

Free to use. They do require a magic band with PVB access to enter the room.

The brand new maps they put up at the resort show Moorea as the only DVC longhouse with laundry. They could put laundry at Tokelau, but it would require new maps. I would hope Disney management would not require new maps within 3-4 months after they put up the current maps.
