An Overview of the Laundry Rooms at Disney’s Old Key West
Thankfully, if you’re staying at a dedicated Disney Vacation Club like Disney’s Old Key West, you won’t have any extra charges for laundry. Of course, if you’re staying in a one-bedroom or larger villa, your unit has a washer and dryer. A couple of packages of complimentary laundry detergent will also be provided. If you run out of detergent, you can request more at the front desk.
However, if you’re staying in a deluxe studio, you might need to access one of the resort’s public laundry rooms during your day. You’ll want to locate the laundry facility nearest your building. For the record, Old Key West is a tremendous resort that’s spread out over a large area. Thankfully, each grouping of buildings is near a pool, and each pool has a laundromat.
Below, we’ll examine which laundry area you should use depending on your room assignment. Since the deluxe studios at Old Key West are scattered throughout the resort, it’s hard to say where you might end up.
We’ll start with Hospitality House, which includes the lobby, check-in, and feature pool. This laundry room is near the Sandcastle Pool. You’ll use it if you stay in the buildings 11-14 or 23-29.
Here’s a look inside.
A few dispensers offer soap, bleach, and softeners.
Most of the resorts have switched to a new laundry service. But as of our last visit to Old Key West, they were still using Laundry View. I’m unsure if they will change since there is no charge for using the laundry facilities. It’s a Disney Vacation Club perk. You must pay a fee for each load of laundry at the regular resorts. Once you get your laundry started, you can scan the QR code on the machine to check the status. I usually set an alarm on my phone for the time left on the cycle and return when the alarm goes off.
You can also check the status of available machines here on Laundry View. Adjust the drop-down box to check the laundry area nearest your room. It’s a good idea to check the status before heading off to the laundry room with all your belongings. You wouldn’t want to drag everything to the laundry room only to find all the machines in use.
Next, we have Millers Road. This laundry room will be closest to buildings 15-22 and 62-64.
Most of the laundry rooms are open in the daytime. But if you were to go later, you might need to scan your MagicBand, Key to the World Card, or My Disney Experience app to access it.
Some of the laundry rooms have vending and ice machines. If you’re looking for ice, each bus stop at the resort has an ice machine on the side. That’s usually the closest and quickest place to fill a bucket.
Buildings 30-44 are closest to the laundry room at the pool near Old Turtle Pond Road. This laundry room is near the Turtle Shack Snack Bar and quiet pool.
Most of the Old Key West laundry rooms have a similar setup. Looking closely at these pictures, you can point out a few differences, like how the machines are positioned, but that’s about it.
Lastly, buildings 45-56 are closest to the laundry room near the South Point Road quiet pool.
This pool and laundry area were the most private, but they were also the furthest away from everything.
