This has been mentioned in a couple of the permit threads, but the new laundry center has now officially broken ground.

I can't wait to visit this new facility. I am sure I will have another opportunity to have some good, clean fun.

Remember when Disney routinely broke ground on cutting edge attractions, instead?

(Note: I understand the necessity of this project. Just poking fun at the way they're treating it, with a groundbreaking ceremony and all. The lack of self-awareness is funny.)

Is it themed to Tangled 2 when Rapunzel got married?

The technology they are planning to use sounds pretty cool. I saw the laundry facility in the North Service Area on the Behind the Magic Tour, and even though it was just a laundry, it was a pretty impressive operation.

Is it a new back stage attraction, you sit in a laundry cart and are pushed round the facility with a multilingual audio tour guide describing the highlights

Despite the jokes, this is pretty nifty. And lest we complainers forget, Disney is still working on the largest expansions in Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom history Looking forward to the largest expansion in laundry history. I'll have to add that to my laundry list of things to visit in 2015.

Out of curiousity, does anyone know if Disney is paying the full bill for this, or is a portion being allocated to DVC fees?

I still don't understand why they need a groundbreaking ceremony for a laundry facility. Yay for clean sheets and towels

200 new jobs is great news these days

Sometimes, administrators in businesses feel the need to have meetings and throw parties to convince themselves that they are busy. And by sometimes, I mean all-the-time.

The new jobs are remarkable, though.

Good that they are spending money on this because my cloths get really filthy after sitting in the old monorails

I guess the New Fantasyland and eventually the Avatarland costumes will use this facility since they said to accommodate the resort's expansion. Does 2 new lands really count as a Disney World resort expansion? I guess you could include the recently built resort hotels; i.e. AoA and the DVC properties. I think they may also mean (being optimistic here) that there will much expansion at the resort in the soon to be future.

What about all of the new DVCs and Art of Animation? They have opened thousands of new hotel rooms in the last few years. And then there is the Pet Hotel with lots of poopy blankets to wash.
