Hi Christina,
Thank you so much for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question!
It sounds like you and I are looking for the same things in a resort! When I travel, I like to have access to both a full kitchen, as well as a washer and dryer, right in my unit. I enjoy preparing meals and snacks in my villa to save time and money. I also throw in a load of laundry nearly every day while on vacation, which allows me to pack less and save on extra baggage fees with the airlines.
At Walt Disney World, wanting a full kitchen and a washer and dryer in the villa means looking at the
Deluxe Villa Resorts. All of these resorts offer a full kitchen and washer and dryer in your villa in a one-bedroom or larger villa. The deluxe studio units do not have full kitchens nor in-unit washer and dryer. There are many different themes and locations of deluxe villa resorts at Walt Disney World. Let me share a couple of my favorites with you.
I enjoy
Disney's BoardWalk Villas, for the fun seaside theme as well as a fabulous location from which you can easily access both Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios. I also really love a stay at
Disney's Old Key West Resort. This resort offers spacious villas and a relaxing theme with a Florida Keys feeling.
If you find that you love your vacation at a deluxe villa resort, you might want to investigate if
Disney Vacation Club membership is right for you. Disney Vacation Club members can use their Vacation Points year after year to vacation at these deluxe villa resorts.
Please do let us know if you have any further questions, Christina!
