Hiya Christine,
Welcome to planDisney! Walt Disney World Resort is an excellent place for the entire family to visit, including your dog pals. My dog has been to the Most Magical Place on Earth many times, and we always love that we don’t have to leave him at home.
Christine, if you are looking for a place for your pet to spend the day while you enjoy time in the Theme Parks, I recommend
Best Friends Pet Hotel. This facility is conveniently located on Walt Disney World Resort property and offers group play, grooming, and outdoor and indoor play areas. It opens for Guests to drop off their pets beginning one hour before the Theme Parks open and remains open until one hour after closing (which is perfect if you want to check out a Nighttime Spectacular). What I love most about Best Friends Pet Hotel is that you can come by during the day and take your pal for a walk in the outdoor area before returning to the Theme Parks. We always timed our visits around lunchtime so we could grab a quick lunch and then sneak in some doggie kisses from our fur baby.
I hope this was helpful, Christine. Before I let you go, did you know that four of the Walt Disney World Resort Collection Hotels (
Disney’s Art of Animation Resort,
Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside,
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, and
The Cabins at Fort Wilderness Resort) have dog-friendly accommodations? All doggies are welcomed in true Disney style with Pluto’s Welcome Kit, and the rooms are close to green spaces, which is very convenient for bathroom breaks and walks. If you need anything else, please come back and see us.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
