    1st stay at FW w/dogs. Reviewed rules, don't see any restrictions regarding attaching cables to table/tree while we are outside, so dogs to roam within our site. What is the required length for walks

    Hi there, Denise! Thank you for trusting planDisney with your Disney vacation planning questions! I'm happy to help you with this one! 

    I love staying at The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort, as well as the campsites. It is such a unique experience that feels like being in the great outdoors, while you're actually just around the corner from Magic Kingdom Park! I'm so glad to hear that you'll be taking your dogs this visit. Our furry friends are important members of our families, so it's really fun when we can include them in our vacations. 

    The website states that dogs must be on a handheld leash no longer than 8 feet. (To see this, click this link and scroll down to Pet-Friendly Policy.) The Pet Policies document says that pets should be on a leash or in a carrier when outside your cabin or climate-controlled RV but doesn't mention cables specifically. The most important rule is that you are with your dogs at all times while they are outside, and that they do not interfere with other guests' experience. 

    Dogs can be left inside your cabin for up to seven hours. If you need to leave them for longer or if they don't do well alone, I suggest checking out Best Friends Pet Care. You are a seasoned Walt Disney World veteran, so you may be well familiar with this option. I have heard great reviews from family members who have left their beloved dogs here at times. They offer so many services, including grooming, enrichment services, and transportation! You can take a virtual tour on their website. 

    I hope this was helpful, Denise, and that you and your entire traveling party have another magical Disney vacation. If you have additional questions, you know where to find us
