Hi Lorrie,
Welcome to planDisney! Disney World is the perfect place for both you and your best friend to vacation. While you are off at the theme parks having a blast, your dog will be in the best hands. Even if you are only planning to board your dog for a day, get a reservation ahead of time. There is limited space at Disney's boarding facility and it is first class so you won't want to go anywhere else.
Best Friends Pet Care is the perfect place for dogs to stay cool, get lots of pets, and experience their own Disney magic. They have designated play times, cuddle times, and ice cream breaks for your best buddy. There are even options for a room with a webcam so you can see what your dog is up to throughout the day if you want to! This outstanding facility is open 1 hour before the theme parks open and closes 1 hour after the theme parks close so you can drop your friend off and pick them up on your way back home!
If you are looking to book a Disney Resort hotel where your buddy is welcome to join you for the night, consider checking out
Disney's Yacht Club Resort. There are only 4 Disney Resort hotels that allow you to bring your furry friend with you, and this one is my favorite. This resort has been updated recently and has great access to transportation and restaurants.
Keep in mind that your dog will not be allowed in common areas, at the pool, or on Disney transportation unless they are an official service dog. If you do not have access to a vehicle while staying at Disney World,
Disney's Port Orleans - Riverside is another great dog-friendly place to stay. It is also the closest Disney Resort hotel to Best Friends Pet Care for easy drop-off and pick-up
Happy Planning,
Jenna
