That Dirty Disney Vacation Word You Might Not Want to Hear

A lot of people think that the prospect of doing laundry while on vacation is crazy. But in these days of airline luggage challenges and the desire to put everything into a carry-on bag, doing laundry while on vacation can actually help to free up space in your luggage.
Should You Do Laundry on Your Walt Disney World Vacation?
But is doing laundry on your vacation really worth the benefits? Is this a convenience you'd enjoy, or an irritation you'd rather leave at home.
Laundry at Walt Disney World Hotels
Did you know that every Walt Disney World hotel has a laundry room (or rooms) for guests?
Hotels in all Walt Disney World categories offer paid self-serve laundry facilities that you are free to use on a first-come first serve basis. For example, Pop Century has three laundry rooms and they’re open 24 hours.
Why Do Laundry When You’re on Vacation?
Sure, doing laundry on vacation sounds like a chore that’s best left at home, but there are times when having access to a laundry room is a good thing. Even if you don’t want to pack less because you can do laundry mid-week and get a fully refreshed travel wardrobe, there are other reasons why you might need the laundry room.
Ever spilled something (or had a child who did) on one of your favorite Disney outfits? Dark chocolate on a brand new white t-shirt? This is another scenario when a quick run to the laundry room can save the day. The faster you get that item in the wash, the better the chances that stain will come out. Forget the sink in your hotel bathroom, a washing machine will do a much better job.
How Much Does it Cost to Do Laundry at Walt Disney World?
While the exact cost can change, a load of laundry in a Disney hotel laundry room is usually around two dollars per load. You can buy soap as well, so it’s all provided in one place.
When is the Best Time to Do Laundry at a Disney World Hotel?
While these things can vary because you can never fully predict the crowd levels in a laundry room, early morning is often best time to do laundry at Walt Disney World. Most guests are off to the parks or off to breakfast, so the laundry rooms can be less busy at this time. Put in a load of laundry and go grab a coffee or quick service breakfast.
Afternoon can be good as well, and you go spend a little time by the pool while your laundry is on.
Later in the evening is often the busiest times for the Disney hotel laundry rooms, so bear that in mind. If the laundry room happens to be close to your room, then you can always drop by to see how busy it is.
On a similar note, if you plan to do laundry during your Disney vacation, do a little advance scouting when you first get to the hotel to see which times are least busy in the laundry room. That way you will have a better idea of when may be the best time to do your laundry, when the time comes.
Disney Deluxe Villas and Laundry
One of the benefits of staying in a Disney Deluxe Villa is that the one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom villas all have washer/dryer units right in the room. Not only is this very convenient, but it is also free.
Studio Villas do not have in-room laundry, but they are laundry room facilities in the building.

What to Pack and What to Wear to Walt Disney World in November 2024
1 RecommendationsIf you are traveling to Walt Disney World in November 2024, here is what you need to know about the weather and more that will affect what you should pack and wear for your vacation.
November signals not only a change in weather patterns, but also a seasonal change at Walt Disney World, as Christmas holiday vibes begin to take over the Most Magical Place on Earth, with a little Food & Wine and Thanksgiving added to the mix.
How to Dress for November Weather and the Kick-Off to the Holiday Season at Walt Disney World
November 2024 in Orlando is Shaping Up to Be a Pretty Good Weather Month
November at Walt Disney World is when the weather typically begins a cooling trend. This is particularly true in 2024, where warmer temperatures have hung on longer than usual through the month of October. While November won’t exactly be cold, it is shaping up to a be a seasonally cooler month.
Special events in November will have an impact on your vacation. From Christmas parties kicking off at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Park and Hollywood Studios, to seasonal activities at EPCOT and Thanksgiving on November 28, you can expect crowds to be bigger than they were in October. Still, it is not Christmas week by any means, so pack your patience and have fun enjoying the immersive ambiance all around you.
Weather Forecast for Walt Disney World in November 2024
The forecast for November 2024 at Walt Disney World sees a month that starts warm and then follows a gradual cooling trends as the weeks pass.
For November 2024, Orlando and Walt Disney World daytime highs are forecast to range from 70°F (21°C) to 86°F (30°C), while nighttime lows will hover around 55°F (13°C) to 70°F (21°C). These temperatures are noticeably cooler than October, but still very pleasant for your vacation. The forecast calls for a gradual decline in both daytime highs and nighttime lows as November progresses.
On a positive note, November at Walt Disney World is shaping up to be a relatively dry month, with only a few days of rain here or there popping up. Rain can be unpredictable in Orlando, at this point, November is looking pretty good.
What to Pack for Walt Disney World in November 2024
Packing for Walt Disney World in November 2024 means packing for a pleasant weather during the day and cooler weather at night.
With Christmas cheer, the smell of gingerbread and holiday festivities setting the tone, it’s fun to get into the spirit of the season and pack a seasonal outfit. Evenings will be cool, so if you’re spending time outside after dark, a hoodie or light jacket is a good thing to bring.
In addition to the Christmas parties, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival continues throughout the month of November, with its last day on November 23, 2024. So you can still bring along some themed clothes for that if you are a foodie who love to take part.
Most days are warm enough for shorts if you like to hang on to them as long as possible, but you should pack something that will cover your legs at night. If you tend to get chilled when the temperatures dip into the 50s, bear that in mind when packing.
Watch for extra crowds towards the end of the month when Thanksgiving falls upon Walt Disney World. If you are there at this time and you plan to dine out to celebrate, feel free to pack a nicer casual outfit to dine in style for Thanksgiving.

Disney Inspired Clothing for the Holidays: What to Buy and Wear
1 RecommendationsChristmas and Disney magic just seem to go together. Whether you’re planning a Disney vacation during the holiday season, or just sharing a little magic at home, it’s always nice to have a little Disney inspiration in your wardrobe.
Do you wear Disney inspired Christmas clothes? The most popular items for your list this year
Whether it’s Disney official clothing or non-Disney apparel inspired by the magic, Christmas and holiday-themed apparel adds a little extra magic to just about any seasonal festivity.
The Most Popular Disney-Inspired Apparel Items for Christmas
Christmas and holiday themed apparel falls into three categories:
1. Christmas themed patterns
2. Christmas sweaters
3. Christmas graphics
Apparel items can be anything from hoodies, t-shirts and sweatshirts, to leggings, dresses and wide-leg pajama pants (which can be worn day or night, inside or outside).
Disney Official and Disney-Inspired Holiday Wear
If you’re looking for Disney character themed holiday apparel, then hitting the shops on your Disney vacation can be a lot of fun. From Disney official to Disney licensed clothing, you can find lots of fun festive cheer that features Disney characters in all sorts of holiday activities.
If you’re looking for Christmas apparel that doesn’t feature Disney characters or intellectual property, but that is inspired by the magical feeling that you get on a Disney vacation, then the Disney inspired apparel items are a good option. Note that when we say Disney inspired, we are not talking about any shop or seller that violates Disney trademarks. If you want Disney characters or intellectual property, then buy from Disney or Disney licensed sellers.
When Would You Want Disney-Inspired versus Disney Official?
While most Disney fans likely have both style of festive wear in their closet, sometimes you may not want a Disney character on your clothes, but you still want to capture that family vibe and ambiance of a Disney Christmas vacation. In these cases, Disney inspired – or subtle Disney clothes, as we like to say – is a great way to go. It’s the perfect complement to your official Disney wardrobe.
Here at 1923 Main Street, for example, we design festive holiday wear that draws inspiration from the joy and positive ambiance of the Disney experience. This can be anything from a festive street scene reminiscent of the feeling of Main Street U.S.A. at Christmas, to a graphic design that celebrates hopping between theme parks during the holidays. Chances are, you may want to add a little Disney official and Disney-inspired to your wardrobe to ensure you have something for every occasion and holiday event.
What is the Most Popular Single Apparel Item for the Holidays?
With so many different Christmas-themed clothes items from which to choose, what is the most popular and versatile piece of clothing, if you only want to buy one?
While the popular ugly Christmas sweater can be good choice for some, not everyone likes sweaters. Plus, the Christmas sweater on its own is not as versatile a piece to wear for multiple occasions over the holidays.
If you only want to have one Christmas or festive themed item in your wardrobe, Mike recommends a Christmas or holiday themed sweatshirt as your go-to item. Sweatshirts are versatile and can be worn to many occasions. They pair well with jeans, leggings or a skirt and even with pajama bottoms. Plus, their warm and can be layered for times when you need something a little extra cozy.
Amelia’s top pick, while she agrees with sweatshirt idea, is to consider Christmas or holiday-themed wide-leg pants/pajama pants. These are also quite versatile for curling up next to a fire to watch a movie, or to head out to a cozy Christmas gathering.
