Hiya Cyndi,
Thanks for stopping back at planDisney. The easiest way to make a
Walt Disney World Resort vacation even better, is by staying even longer! We love when we are able to plan an extended stay as it gives us plenty of time to not only enjoy the theme parks, but also the water parks, our resort amenities, and
Disney Springs.
The great news is there are a number of
Disney Resorts Collection hotels that include small kitchen areas, and some even include laundry facilities right in the room. While many of the Disney Resort rooms include a small refrigerator or beverage cooler, if you are looking for a kitchen area with a larger refrigerator and an option to prepare meals, you will want to look at the Deluxe Villa options. These Villas are available in a variety of size options and besides offering additional space, most include a washer and dryer in the villa. We love this as we can throw in a load of clothes before leaving in the morning and finish the load when we return later. It definitely helps us cut back on our packing needs.
If the Villas were a little larger than what you were imagining, or do not fit into your budget, you may want to look at Disney's Art of Animation Family Suites which will provide you with a kitchenette. Additionally, all Disney Resorts have onsite laundry facilities. While the washer and dryer will not be in your actual room, there are a number of machines in a shared laundry space.
I hope this information will help you plan a nice long stay! If you need any additional help, please stop back and
see me.
T-T-F-N (Ta-Ta for now),
Margaret
