The DVC properties offer kitchenettes - Villas at Wilderness Lodge, Boardwalk Villas, Beach Club Villas, Saratoga Springs, Old Key West, and Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas. The cabins at Fort Wilderness have full kitchens, also.

Do you have to be a DVC member to rent one?
If not how would you go about doing it???
thanks for the info!

You can rent DVC rooms directly thru Disney, the same way you would reserve any other room.

You could also do what is commonly referred to as "renting points" from a DVC member. To do this, you would find an owner/member and they would make the reservation using their points, you would pay the owner/member directly. Disney would have nothing to do with this, if there were any problems, it would be between you & the owner/member. Most owners/members have a no refund for cancellation policy. That's the downside, the upside is that it can be substantially less money this way. If you'd be interested, I recommend checking out the DVC boards. There are threads about how to "rent points", what to watch out for and so on. Then check out the DVC Rent/Trade board.

One other option for kitchenette is the family suites at the All Stars.

The Family Suites start at $184 a night duing value season.
Most of the Disney resorts (excluding DVC) charge extra for more than 2 adults in a room.
The Family Suites do not charge extra for extra adults.
1-6 adults can stay in the Family Suites for the same et price.
The Family Suites have discounts available also so if you keep your eyes open you just may snag a great deal.

Family Suite info:

DH and I stayed in a Family Suite at All Star Music ( a value resort) in Sept. of 2006.

We really enjoyed the Queen size bed, the kitchenette with the microwave, having a sofa and cushioned chair to sit on and relax after a day at the parks before retiring for the evening.

I thought the pullouts very comfortable.

They are designed so the back cushion and seat cushion of the pullout support the pullout. There is no metal bar to hurt the sleepers back.

Info thread--Pullouts in Family Suites at ASMU with photos of how the pullout is supported.

Here is the layout of the Family Suites:

They:

-Sleep up to 6 (plus one child under age 3 in a Pak-n-Play crib)
-Studio amenities and separate sleeping areas giving more privacy than a standard room.
-Queen bed, full-size pullout sofa, convertible ottoman & chair sleepers (4 separate sleepers)
-Private master bedroom and family room have 27” flat CRT TV and high speed Internet access.
-Kitchenette with microwave, small refrigerator (4.3 cu. ft) and coffee pot
-Two-full bathrooms


Here is my review of the Suites:

you don't have to be a member to rent one, but if you are not renting directly through CRO, then you do need to do a little homework...there are several important differences when renting from an individual DVC member.

here's the thread you need to learn the basics:

Then a Studio at one of the DVC resorts would be your best bet. All of the studios will have 1 queen size bed and a full size sofa sleeper. A small table and kitchenette. The exception is OKW, has 2 queen beds, no sofa.
