That's a great new feature, but I wish it had cameras that actually let you watch laundry dry. When there's nothing better on TV, it might be fun to experience WDW vicariously by pretending it's your own Magical Laundry drying.

I'm the nerd who does laundry on vacation - I hate going home with dirty laundry.
This makes me even MORE excited to do laundry. (I'm serious)
I know, I'm a sick, sick woman.

Thanks for slowing down my work email and internet to let you know your clothes are done. If there was only some kind of timer on these machines that would let people know when to come back.... But I guess on vacation, I really need to know when the wash cycle is complete and the rinse cycle is about to start. Another reason to take my eyes off my girls enjoying Disney World to dig my face in the phone I guess.

I'm suprised they didn't incorporate a way to pay using your magic band.
It is a third-party laundry system, so integrating MagicBands was probably beyond the scope of what could be done.

I'm just a pushover for domestication tech. 
Seriously though, it seems that he majority of people that do laundry, do it at the resorts at night after kids are in bed or settled-in or if they have very young children and they are back at the resort for a mid-day break/nap.
...at least that is what I've observed/striking up conversations with the other Moms who are hanging out in the laundry room. I'd rather be able to hang out in the room with our kids and go when I know the laundry is ready vs. running back and forth/waiting it out.

Interesting.. the residence halls at my school have had this kind of system for about 3 years.
Complimentary for DVC, I believe they just pay for soap.

looks a little clunky but not a bad idea, this tech has been around for awhile though.
agree with the person above that magic band integration would of added the cool factor, if laundry ever can be cool
they should probably advertise the mobile website more as that's what people would most likely be using on vacation

the mobile website has the option to sign up for text alerts
not seeing that option on the desktop version just a 3D photo of the laundry rooms

Very cool. We usually do laundry once during a vacation, and it can be a lot of back-and-forth to the laundry room. Plus, no more need to have cash!
Did the prices go up to pay for this?

I don't know what the price used to be, but I used the new system two weeks ago and it was $1.50 to wash, $1.00 to dry.

Wow really lol? You are finding a way to get mad about this? And btw complaining about slowing down your email and then complaining people will look at this instead of their kids is a little hypocritical... You are complaining you can't load a 10kb work email as fast as before but you're also complaining people are looking at this while in Disney lol? Also this makes it easier for people to be willing to spend the time while laundry is going with their family as opposed to in the laundry room because they're worried it will finish earlier than the initial estimate...

Sounds pretty similar to what it was in January. And cheaper than my local laundromat, surprisingly.
