Hi Carrie! Welcome back to planDisney!
I love that you are considering a quick stop by
Disney Springs as you pass through the area. I have done the exact same thing before. It is such a fun spot to experience a little bit of Disney magic while grabbing a bite to eat, snacking on some delicious treats, shopping for souvenirs, and just enjoying a beautiful day!
When it comes to dogs at the theme parks and Disney Springs, only
service animals are allowed. Pet dogs are not permitted. If you have the time in your schedule, consider using
Best Friends Pet Care on Walt Disney World Resort property to take care of your furry friend while you explore Disney Springs. For prices and reservations, give them a call at (407) 209-3126. They take such good care of pets there with lots of play options to give pets their own magical day!
I hope this helps, Carrie! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
