A Resort Need to Know: The 5 Laundry Facilities at Port Orleans Riverside
If you have an upcoming stay planned at Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside Resort, rest assured you’ll find plenty of places to do laundry. Since the resort is so large, it has five laundromats spread out over the grounds. Below, we’ll look at those laundry room locations and other need-to-know details. You’ll want to locate the laundry area nearest your room if you plan to do a few loads while on vacation.
Laundry Room Locations:
Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside has five laundry rooms, each located near a quiet pool at the resort.
- Royal Guest Rooms in Magnolia Bend: You’ll want to use the laundry room at the pool between Parterre Place and Oak Manor.
- Guests staying in the Mansion buildings (Magnolia Terrace and Acadian House): You’ll want to use the laundry room at the pool between Magnolia Terrace and Acadian House.
- Guest staying in Alligator Bayou Buildings 34-38: A laundry room is available at the pool between buildings 35 and 36.
- Guests staying in Alligator Bayou Buildings 24-28: A laundry room is available at the pool closest to building 24. (*Building 27 is closer to the next laundry room.)
- Guests staying in Alligator Bayou rooms (buildings 14-18 and 27): A laundry room is available at the pool closest to building 17. (Most of this last area are preferred rooms)
If you would like to preview more details, we have a Resorts Gal guide to the pools at Port Orleans Riverside. It shares specifics of each pool and the resort’s feature pool.
All of the laundry rooms are practically identical. Washers are in the center of the rooms, and two rows of stacked dryers are on the back walls.
Disney formerly used Laundry View to manage the laundry process. Here is a photo of the older system.
However, Disney now uses a company called MyCSCGO.com
Laundry costs approximately $3.25 a load. We did a couple of loads during our last stay in the Alligator Bayou section of the resort. I can assure you that if you need to do more than one load of laundry during your stay, you will want to download the app. If not, you’ll have to enter all of your information continually each time you scan the QR code. The app is also convenient because it provides a countdown of the time left on each load.
A separate vending machine provides laundry detergent and fabric softener options. These machines take credit and debit cards only. Detergent costs $1.00 per box and is usually good for two loads.
A vending machine with snacks and drinks is also available.
Per Disney: Walt Disney World Resort hotels also offer dry cleaning and valet laundry services. Select “Housekeeping” on your in-room phone to schedule a pick-up. Laundry bags and price lists are located in your Guest Room closet. (On this note, we stay in the resorts often, and I haven’t seen a laundry bag or price list in a value or moderate resort in quite some time.)
