Hi Christi, thanks for the kind words, and I’m so glad you liked AofA! Did you do Little Mermaid or one of the family suites?
In the WDW hotels you’ll find a full kitchen in the Cabins at Fort Wilderness http://yourfirstvisit.net/2013/03/05/review-the-cabins-at-disneys-fort-wilderness-resort-2/ and also in all the DVC resorts in the one and two bedroom villas, and in the grand villas (but not in the studios).
For the DVC resorts see this: http://yourfirstvisit.net/planning-your-first-family-trip/special-circumstances/special-circumstances-large-families/more-on-large-families-at-walt-disney-world/the-disney-vacation-club-dvc-resorts-at-walt-disney-world/
Tell me a little about numbers of people and family structures and I may be able to help you narrow in a bit…

Hi, Dave! I LOVE your site (even though I have been to Disney over 10 times:))
I stayed last week at Art of Animation based on your review . I LOVED it! Thanks! I am going back in December with my parents and would like to stay at a place with a kitchen since they would like the option to cook at “home”. Do you know which resorts have kitchens?
