Just a head's up, a friend of mine just returned from POR a couple of weeks ago and she said the washers and dryers are no longer coin operated and now require a credit card.

It's been that way since at least 2014. That was the last time we were at PO and they were credit/debit then.

Yep...debit/credit card operated and although we didn't do it they also have a way of checking online to see what the status of your laundry is....how many minutes left etc.

We were there Jan-Feb of 2015, and the laundry in the Alligator Bayou section, by the quiet pool was, still coin operated.

Glad to hear of the upgrade though.

The credit/debit thing is a bit of a pain, and although most of the machines are that way, I have noticed a few at each resort that still take the quarters. For us Canadians, the constant "small charges" actually got one of our cards blocked for fraud!

However, the coolest laundry thing is being able to check the status: http://www.laundryview.com/disneyworld/ so you know before you head over if there are machines available.

Information like this is why I read the message boards daily so we can be ready for our trip next summer! From what I have read it looks like all the resorts have credit/debit card laundry machines? I guess the best plan of action is to bring rolls of quarters but also a Visa Gift Card loaded up with money for something like this so I don't have to use my actual debit card at a laundry machine. :thumbsup:

ha yeah I almost took some quarters to the last trip this year and i'm glad i didn't because I saw that it was credit from posters on here (like you!), but niece to know that you can look up status of laundry!! that is helpful actually

We were at FQ in 2014. Sounds like that must have been about the time things were starting to be switched over to debit/credit.
The app is great. A real time saver.
