Hi Justine!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! Staying in a
Cabin at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort is definitely my kind of glamorous camping, also known as "glamping": a comfy bed, private bathroom, full kitchen, air conditioning, television and Wi-Fi. And you're interested in bringing your best pal along too? Talk about
ruff-ing it!
While I haven't personally brought my fur-baby to Mickey's house since select Walt Disney World Resort Hotels rolled out the welcome feeding mats to Pluto, Pongo, Lady, Nana, Bolt, Winston and Stitch, I did reach out to one of my favorite fellow
Disney Parks Moms Panelists, Veronica, who has not only stayed at Fort Wilderness many times with her doggies, her family called one of these log houses 'home' this past Thanksgiving. They even cooked an entire traditional holiday meal in their cabin kitchen!
Veronica shared that they've stayed in both the 2400 and 2800 loops with their two pups, respectively known as Settler's Bend and Willow's Way. (The loops, not the dogs.) She even offered this hot tip: the cabins in the middle of the 2800 Willow's Way loop back up to the
horse riding trail, which isn't exactly a private deck, but does mean that you might not have behind-your-cabin-neighbors. Her exact cabin number was 2835, but when you check-in ask if anything trail-adjacent is available as I think you'll love this loop. I even scrolled through her Thanksgiving vacation photo album and their setup looks pretty tree serene to me!
Bonus Pet Parent Planning Tip: You will be asked to
provide your pet's most recent vaccination record at check-in, so be sure to add "make vet appointment" and/or "bring paperwork" to your 'What to Pack' list!
I hope this was helpful, Justine, and please feel free to reach back out to us with any more
pet-friendly Disney vacation planning questions you might have!
