Okay, looking at the laundry pics on Allears, it appears that most facilities have both HE and regular washers. I know nothing about HE's and have to use a color and fragrance-free liquid detergent - can that be used in both the regular and HE washers? If so, is it a different amount?

Each laundry area has a detergent vending machine.

I am so excited to be going home resort for the first time tomorrow. I am looking forward to relaxing and getting to know my resort.
Hopefully my request for Congress Park will pan out.

How exciting! If you are not happy with your choice, ask to see what else is available or if a better room will be available later.

Can anyone help me out here? We are staying at our home resort SSR on May 3rd for 12 nights and have requested a top floor 1 bedroom in Congress Park with a DTD view. When we check in can anyone tell me when they give us our room number how I will know if its on the top floor.
How do the room numbers work?

Many thanks guys

When the CM checks you in, they will tell you and show you on the resort map where your room will be located, and what floor.

Hi to everyone, just want to throw myself into this community. My DH & I with our 2 DD's purchased into SSR, in 2006. We have stayed there once. LOVED IT! we though try to stay at the other DVC resorts just to get the experiance staying at them. We have stayed at the boardwalk villas, it was fun. This Nov. we have reservations to stay again at SSR, but we are on a wait list for FW or AK. Has any one had luck of being on a wait list and as our DVC guide says let the magic happen and get the resort of 1st choice?

thanks

We have had fairly good success with our waitlist requests. I think you will have a better chance to get AKV, then VWL......but wishes do come true!

Yes, but I highly doubt it supplies the fragrance/color free detergent I have to use due to allergies. I'm wondeirng if I can use my own in the HE washers, or only the regular ones.

The HE approved detergent will work better than the regular stuff. The stuff designed for HE makes much less bubbles. I would definitely use less if using the regular stuff.

I purchased Dropps for my trip. You can find them online in the fragance/enyeme free variety. It is expensive, but very convient. I really like them for vacation.

HE products should only be used in the HE machines. They use so much less water, compared to regular washers. If you use your normal products, you will need to take that into consideration.

Costco's detergent is rated for both types of machines. That's what we use (Costoco fragrance/color free detergent).

I have a question regarding the laundry facilities. We are staying in a studio, so I know that we'll have to find one of the public laundry places on site. What, if any, is the charge to wash/dry in the public facility?

to DVC member staying at the resort. They have coin slots on them, but you don't have to put money in them to make them work. There are washers and dryers at the pool locations and one on Main Street across from the Springs section.

I just ordered a HE washer - the sales lady says if you have a fav non-HE soap, you can use it - only use a scant tablespoon of it.

Our building in CP, it seems started with a 5 - so in our corner room, the first floor was 5143, 2nd 5243, and 3rd would be 5343.

I just got back from an amazing stay at Saratoga Springs. It is the first time at my home resort.

I stayed in the Congress Park Section - 2732, 3rd floor. I know it conflicts with some of the other comments, but in that section, it seemed to be the third number.

Its free, complimentary to resort guests. The only cost is detergent, etc if you don't bring your own. There are vending machines at each location.
