4 Walt Disney World Resorts to accept dogs

[AEfx]

what is stronger the desire to avoid the barking dog call or the overwhelming need to keep their face constantly in the phone. I think for some people it might be physically impossible to do without a phone for that long.

Gosh, Goof, you know...this is all getting so complicated. It's almost like it the intelligent decision would be to LEAVE THE FREAKING DOG AT HOME.

Has anyone called Disney and asked what the consequences will be for not attending to the dog barking within 30-minutes once the owner has been notified?

Perhaps a CM comes and visits, and they faithfully reenact the climactic scene from that Disney classic of yore, "Old Yeller".

Goldens are awesome!

So no one should own a Yorkie? Because from the way some of you make it sound.. dog ownership is all about the Golden Retriever.. nothing to do with feelings towards other breeds at all.

The dog is a comfort object (like a teddy bear), and having their dog waiting for them in their room is more accessible and comforting than going to the kennel. To further complicate matters, the owners project human emotions and thought processes onto their dog, believing the dog would rather stay in the room.

Having comfort object > what’s best for the animal

As well as greater than the desires and rights of other people.

I'd like to see the collar deliver a shock every time their dog barks. And I'd like to see it mandatory the whole time the dog is at WDW.

I really don't trust the technology. If they cant get the Magic Bands and ADRs to work on some days, do you really expect the E-Collar to work?

The dog would be barking all day and the owner’s collar would be blinking blue instead of green so no shock.

Someone’s post in another thread reminded me of this one...

Thought I’d check in to hear about all of the mayhem this new policy is causing.

So far it's been very quiet and low key. They had a little spiel that they gave to us on how to handle dogs in case they came on the bus, but I have not seen any nor have any drivers I know. I do get the occasional service dog. ( one last week) but that was happening already.

Thank you for the update!

Staying at the yacht club and you can't tell any policy has been put in place. Business as usual.

Wow, 101 thread pages of angst for nothing! I thought for sure that there would be total mayhem once the policy was in full swing with canines everywhere!!!

A mutt, a mutt, a mutt - I mean, amok, amok, amok!

I know right, you think that people are capable of not overreacting to the most trivial of occurrences.

Then you read this forum...

Too early to tell IMO. When the policy came out most rooms were booked through December... I think we will see the first real impacts during Spring break.

 

[GoofGoof]

I agree that it’s probably too early to call this. Despite pages of anecdotes about the masses of people wishing to travel with their dogs it seems like the program is so far largely a bust and not being very heavily used. @mikejs78 is probably right that most people already had their rooms booked before this announcement so it’s too soon to completely write off. I think we probably need to give it another 6 months before judging it either way.

For those shocked at the overreaction from this forum, welcome to wdwmagic . You should have been around when they changed the napkins in the parks to plain brown. Talk about overreaction to trivial concerns

We all post on a fan forum for amusement parks.

We are all crazy. Objectively.

We are all in the top 1% of Disney fans that actually have feelings strong enough to post on a fan forum about all things Disney so no one is perfectly sane here . The napkin thing represented a lot more than just a physical napkin to a lot of people. People care about what they care about.

I think it’s very important to point out the following-

If you go back and read the posts from people who travel with dogs or stayed in dog friendly hotels, not one of them claimed that any hotel was over run with them. The opposite claims were made.

Painting something “largely a bust” because there aren’t many dogs at a dog friendly hotel is quite inaccurate. “Pet Friendly doesn’t equal Pet Full.” A bust would be if no one stayed there.
Unless I’m missing something and those specific hotels are no longer being booked at all...

Anyway, glad to see that none of the predicted horror stories have come to fruition.
