Hello, Peggy!
Welcome to planDisney - your
bone-a fide source of information for Disney vacation prep! Thanks for
pawsing by to talk about bringing your furry family members along on your
Walt Disney World getaway. Let's talk about keeping your pups comfortable while you await check-in at
Disney's Art of Animation Resort.
All pet-friendly hotels feature designated rest and walk areas. At Disney's Art of Animation Resort, you'll find them near building 2 in the
Cars section, building 5 in
Finding Nemo, building 6 in
The Lion King, and building 7 near
The Little Mermaid rooms. If you arrive before you can access your room, you and your dogs can explore these areas. For the best chance of your room being ready early, do
online check-in, select "before 3 PM for arrival time, and don't make any room location requests. When you arrive, stop by the front desk to check on the status of your room and pick up a welcome kit for your pets.
Peggy, if you plan to arrive at Disney's Art of Animation in the morning and visit a theme park or
Disney Springs before your room is ready, consider booking a day at the
Best Friends Pet Hotel for your canine companions. Local day boarding might be just the ticket since there is nowhere to leave them unattended at your resort. Best Friends Pet Hotel is near
Magic Kingdom Park and can be reached by requesting a pet-friendly ride with Uber or Lyft.
I hope this is helpful and that it gives you some ideas for check-in day at your resort next month. Best wishes for an un
furgettable trip, and if there is anything else we at planDisney can do to make it even more magical, please come see us again. You've got a friend in me!
