Hi Daysi! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm happy to hear that you have an upcoming reservation at
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside! This is one of my favorite resorts and holds plenty of amazing memories that my family has shared over the years. With its proximity to Port Orleans - French Quarter, the Mickey beignets at
Scat Cat's Club are only a short walk or boat ride away!
While Riverside is a
pet-friendly resort at Walt Disney World, there are only a select number of buildings where dogs are allowed to stay. After speaking with a Cast Member, buildings 15, 24, 80, and 95 are the ones where dogs are permitted (subject to change). With this resort being fairly spread out, this leaves a majority of the buildings and resort rooms where you will not find any dogs. With your allergy, I would stay away from the common areas where dogs are allowed as well, although you shouldn't have too much of a problem steering clear. With the exception of service dogs, these pets are not allowed in dining spaces or pool areas.
Once your reservation is confirmed, I suggest
calling the Disney Resort Hotel Reservations line and speaking with a Cast Member for assistance. You can make a special request regarding your allergy to ensure that you do not end up in a building that allows dogs. I was also made aware that you can request an allergy cleaning of your resort room prior to your arrival. Please keep in mind that not all requests are guaranteed, although with an allergy being the reason, this may fall into a different category.
Daysi, I hope this information helps you plan for your upcoming stay!
Stop back and see us anytime at planDisney. We'll be happy to help you plan for your Disney vacation!
