To launder or not to launder?

Staying for 7 nights next week. I'll be doing laundry on day 4. That's usually our quietest day.....so a load goes in after dinner.

Who does laundry while at Disney, and for what length trip?

We usually do 4-night or 7-night trips. No laundry for 4, but for 7 it's a toss up. Our next trip is 8 nights (5 WDW, 3 cruise), and I have 3 kids, so that's a lot of clothes. But I hate spending precious Disney time on laundry (especially with no in-unit washer/dryer)! I'm leaning toward a single load of laundry on day 5, with just PJs/undies/socks.

Curious what others do?

Usually on any trip more than 6 days. Last time, we did a 4 day trip, and my daughter (19) did laundry got herself on day 3 because she wasn't happy with what she packed for herself.

We usually have breaks in the afternoon, and I just do it then.

Depends on the season and length of trip. I pack light, but in summer I wear two outfits a day, one morning and one evening. Hate re-wearing sweaty clothes and I am very sensitive to smells. Typically schedule a pool break and laundry once in a 4 day trip in summer. In winter, with shorter park hours and cooler weather, it is one outfit a day and no laundry.

We stayed for 7 days last trip and had plenty of clothes for the whole trip but I did not want to face laundry when I got home and so for the first time, did laundry while my family was at the pool one morning on our last day and just went back and forth. It didn't take that long and it was so nice to go home with clean clothes!

I usually don't do laundry. However, our last trip was a 10 day trip with a 10 month old and a 4 year old. We had enough clothes but there were a few accidents that I wanted to launder before we got home. I did a load late at night a few times. The laundry app was awesome. We own DVC. If we stay in a until with a washer/dryer, I do laundry everyday.

We almost always stay off site in a 2 bedroom condo with washer & dryer. We typically do laundry every other day so (1) we don't have to pack as much to bring (2) we don't accumulate a big pile of stinky laundry from our 3 kids. Unless my stepmother-in-law comes, because she does laundry every night just because she wants to

I'm thinking we're going to have to do laundry at least once.

We're staying for six nights and plan on going back to the resort for a mid-day break most days. The idea of putting sweaty clothes back on after a nap or a dip in the pool just grosses me out, and I don't even own enough pairs of capri pants or shorts to make it through the week even without multiple outfit changes.

Depends on the length of the trip and the time of year. DH and I don't own a whole lot of "shorts and t-shirts" type of clothes, so I normally don't even own enough clothes for a week long trip! I usually have enough clothes for the kids. We normally do laundry at least once.

Well we stay in at least a 1 bedroom villa so we always have a washing machine and dryer in our room so we evendors make sure to wash all our cloths before we leave

I do laundry at least once during a week long trip. I do all remaining laundry the night before we leave while enjoying the pool. I can't stand putting dirty laundry in the luggage. Then I only have to wash our pjs when we return. It makes unpacking very easy.
