Things to Know
Planning your next Walt Disney World® Resort vacation and including your four-legged family member may be easier than you think. Let’s cover some essentials first, such as doggie daycare, amenities and general requirements you’ll need to know before you pack a doggie bag!
Best Friends Pet Care
Did you know that Walt Disney World® Resort offers a kennel service for dogs? You can board your dog (and even cats and other pets) at the Best Friends Pet Hotel located inside the park. Best Friends Pet Care offers daytime and overnight boarding and air-conditioned spaces for dogs so they can get plenty of companionship and potty breaks while their families enjoy the park. This is a great way for owners to make sure their dog is comfortable and cared for during extended hours they may be away from their room. They also offer extras like a pet spa for all your dog’s grooming needs and even offer transport from the Disney Resort Hotels for an additional $25 fee (when added to an existing reservation).
Requirements
All dogs staying at the Disney Resort Hotels and/or Best Friends Pet Care will need to be up-to-date on all vaccinations. No more than two dogs will be permitted to stay in a single room, and dogs cannot be left unattended longer than 7 hours at a time. So, make sure to make a Best Friends Pet Care daytime reservation ahead of time if you’re planning a long day at the park. Dogs must be crated when accompanying their owners on internal buses at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort and at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. Only designated service animals may accompany their owners on Disney Transportation motorcoaches, monorails, watercraft and Disney Skyliner.
