Don't you folks shower after you get out of the pool? I always do, and I shower with my swimsuit. That's how it gets clean. What's with you folks using the washer at hotels for that? You're all fired!
I reject this totally.

Given your sock status, I understand your point of view.

I used to live in the South Pacific where I eventually came to accept that you don't need a machine to wash your clothes. It was a difficult thing for me, seeing as how it seemed to require more work on my part.

You can get your clothes wet, rub some soap or shampoo on them, squish them to make them sudsy, scrub with a hair brush if needed, and rinse. Takes like two minutes. Hang on the shower rod to drip dry and, voila, clean clothes.

This is more or less how most of the world washes clothes, I believe. At least for a few small things, it's easier and faster than waiting around the laundry room.

No, we don't take advantage of the laundry. We are too busy at the parks to take time to do laundry. I pack the clothing wisely.

No we don't use the laundry facilities. We usually go for a week and pack for a week. It wouldn't be vacation if we were spending time doing laundry just like at home.

My feelings exactly! I'm on vacation.

We do, but my parents are DVC owners so its in room. We can do it overnight or at odd times as to not detract from the trip.

We didn't ever when staying at the hotel resorts prior.

Sure you can. I often smell people standing in the lines who do it.
Wait a minute - thats not a good thing, is it?

I buy enough shorts etc. for the duration of our stay for the entire family. I wouldn't want to walk around in smelly clothes. It is just unpacking that bag of dirty laundry when we get home that I dred. But at least I don't have to spend my valuble disney time doing laundry.

I love when there are laundry facilities because that means less stuff to pack!

Like you know the meaning of "less stuff to pack."

When we stay off property, we usually stay in a timeshare, and that means we have washers and dryers. When we stay at Disney (other than Old Key West), I don't usually deal with washing clothes. I'll just take enough with me.

We do not. We always pack enough to wear for the entire time we are there. Don't want to be spending time doing laundry while we could be at the parks!

I suppose if I had one in my room I would do laundry - I didn't think about that.

Ok I might have been wrong in my earlier posts. I have to say I might want to check out the laundry facilities next trip. Especially after packing home and washing a weeks worth of laundry for five people. I still don't like the idea of washing while on vacation but it might be nice to not have so much laundry when I arrive home.

NO it's not and yes we've been near these people also.
A question for you "I wash my cloths in the shower people:"
How does this work for, I don't know, the rest of your cloths? We almost always stay over a few days. It would seem impractical to wash everything you need in the shower. We wear more the just bathing suits.
About packing wisely, We normally pack for two or three days more then we're planing to stay. It's just when you stay a week over you need to clean some stuff Have you ever tried packing two weeks worth of cloths for a family of four with, TWO teenagers? Good luck.

With kids you almost definately have to do laundry. While its not my fav thing to do, everyone appreciates a fresh pair of socks after walking the park all day. My crazy family will change socks 2-3 times in the course of a day. No way am I going to pack that many. Plus, at the Vacation Club resorts the laundry is free. In a one bedroom and up the units are in your room. In the studio you use the main laundry facility and only have to buy detergent!

Laundry?

Do you take advantage of the laundry facilities while staying at a Disney resort?
