No need to apologize, I didn't know the UK system at all! In the US, the specific type of disability is generally considered private medical information, so color-coding like that would come up against privacy laws. It's meant to protect against discrimination, which is good, but a little more...

THIS. Sure, it's gross that a dog had an accident, but things happen. Even a well-trained service dog can get sick and have an accident, and lord knows people can be gross in the parks. From the photos, the thing that stands out to me is not that something disgusting happened, it's that a bunch...

If you plan to do any spa type things, the salon/spa in Corando Springs was redone a few years ago and is really lovely. EDIT: aaannnd somehow I missed that you're a fella. Apologies! However, spa services are for everyone! It really is quite nice there, if you want to get a massage to...

If you think about all the things that might go wrong on any vacation, you'll never take one. It's always a gamble. Bad weather, bedbugs, someone gets sick, wild loud neighbors, line-jumping tour groups...with so many people at WDW there's always going to be some risk that your vacation will be...

The USA does not have any country-wide laws about dangerous dogs or dog breeds, it's all handled at the local level, usually by town or city. There's usually a rule saying that "dangerous dogs" must be kept confined or wear muzzles, but the definition of "dangerous" tends to be vague and...

Not in a box! Not with a fox! Not in a house! Not with Mickey Mouse! Check your sources! Check them twice! Check them chicken soup with...oh wait, that's a different poem. Good thing I checked my source.

Okay, look. It's 2017 and the internet has been around for a while. Let's do better. Do not repost random stuff from social media without verifying accuracy and relevance. Just don't. Don't do it here. Don't do it there. DO NOT DO IT ANYWHERE.

No arguments here. It's like the overnight-guest version of a dessert party or the early/late hours upcharge events. It's expensive, the offerings aren't that great, and it takes up some space that was previously available to people who weren't paying the charge. From a corporate perspective...

Actually, repeat and loyal WDW guests probably have the least say, precisely because we keep coming. Repeat guests are a known quantity, Disney already know what we'll do, how we spend our money and what we'll put up with before sayin "no more!" and going elsewhere. People who travel with dogs...

Totally! Then he'll dig up one of the flower exhibits and bury the CM in a shallow grave. Alive.

Thank you! I'm hoping a lot of people will do that so we can get a sense of how it's working in practice.

Of course, that was part of the joke. It was a lighthearted post poking gentle fun at the general uselessness of individual anecdotes and pointing out that we're lacking new information that would spur more meaningful discussion. Plus, if you look closely at one of the photos you can see a...

This thread seems to be devolving a little, probably because we have no new information from Disney about policy, or any real accounts from people who have encountered/brought dogs to discuss. While we're waiting, here are some pictures of my dog* causing no trouble and posing in front of a...

I don't think it's a limit so much as a gentle warning. An unfortunate number of people get big, scary looking dogs on purpose, for the pleasure of intimidating others, or as a status symbol indicating their own toughness. Mastiffs and Cane Corsos are popular with this set, and are often...

The vocal minority flipped out. The vast majority of WDW visitors just don't follow things that closely, but either way, that kind of reaction is Disney's own darn fault. Disney doesn't just sell hotel rooms and park tickets, they sell intangibles: magic, memories, family time, happiness. If you...

Agreed. The hospitality business is all about perception. If corporate has made a change that the guest objects so strongly to that they don't want to stay at a particular resort anymore, just switch them with a smile. There's no need to give them anything extra, but a hassle-free transfer...

If I had a dollar for every time a company didn't do something incredibly obvious that would have made things easier for customers & staff, I could afford one heck of a Disney trip.

No worries. I hope they agree to waive the fees for you, I agree with the consensus that they should accomodate resort-swaps for guests with existing reservations.

Out of curiosity: at 11 months out, could you make a second reservation for the same dates at the hotel that you want, and then cancel the first without penalty? Or is there just no availability at all?

Ours won't bark at strangers at all. He just stands in his crate, silently wagging his tail. He's basically a big yellow suprise party of one.
