4 Walt Disney World Resorts to accept dogs

[LAKid53]

Had me until the weight breed limit. Larger dogs are light years smarter than small dogs and are often way better trained.

Except for Irish setters - the dingbats of the dog world.

I don't know ... Have you seen the rodents of unusual size ?

She wears heels, she's cool....

 

[LAKid53]

Wow, I honestly didn't think that the level of freak out of the gondola thread could be reached but here we are, I guess that's what I get for thinking.

And behold, the face of your aggressor!

The horror!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awwwww, how can you hate that face, those big brown eyes.

 

[LAKid53]

Yes, please! If Disney had an adults-only DVC resort (with or without dogs), I'd never book anywhere else!
Heck, I'd settle for an adults-only pool with a really good pool bar.

If they can do it on their ships, they can do it at a resort. I nominate GF Villas as a pilot.

For all you germaphobes worrying about a dog sleeping in a bed before you.

Most of these rooms are occupied 100% of the time. As you lay your head down on the pillow, think about -

Sex, at least once a week, 50 times that year. Diaper changes, diaper leaks, diaper falls off, 30 times a year. Spilled, soda, beer, water, juice, coffee, 10 times a year. Food crumbs 50 times a year. How many millions of mold spores? How many sweaty naked people every summer?

You will be fine, get over it.

You forgot human dander, hair and everything else ....

People, they change the sheets between guests.

Hardly. I'll pay $400 a night at the Omni in Hilton Head where I can take my dog. I'd gladly pay $500 a night at Disney to do the same.

Of course, I am a responsible dog owner with a well behaved dog. I can see some ignorant people taking advantage of this, which is bad for the rest of us.

The Difference is Hilton/Marriott have 'animal' rooms just as they once had smoking rooms. They do not allow animals in all the rooms for allergy cleaning reasons. Hilton even has special allergy rooms which cleaned to a higher standard.

Now if Disney had done this RIGHT instead of the cash grab way. They would have added kennels to each of these properties

How do you know Disney won't have designated rooms for guests with dogs?

Awwwww, how can you hate that face, those big brown eyes.

Just remember, absolutely the only dogs that will be brought on property are vicious killers, like this one.

Oh be careful of this monster!!!!!!!!

He already has a taste for the young ones, The terror!!!!

This horrible creature will most certainly pounce on you... as soon as it gets up!

Remember, this is 100% the worst, most disgusting thing to touch your blankets!!!!!!!

2 dogs? What a deal. I'll bring this one and his brother, a 200 lb St Bernard. Housekeeping will be cleaning drool off.the ceiling.

I'm not telling my son-in-law.... I don't know who has worse separation anxiety, his dog or him. The last day of our trip, all he talks about is getting home to the dog and taking her for a long walk. But her personality is not one a dog visiting Disney should have. She's anxious, rambunctious (I would be apologizing to guests on either side of our room constantly - the dog goes bonkers when he gets home), doesn't always obey, not well trained on a leash, etc. Don't get me wrong, she's a sweet, lovable dog, but with a few personality quirks that wouldn't work at Disney.

So for those of you in the know, is Disney's pet place just during the day or can you board?

Is that a Samoyed? Only breed I've owned - 4 of them. And, unlike most others, they don't smell - no wet dog smell. Their rough outer coat is easy to keep clean. The only time we bathed Ketuk was after he rolled in stinky, yucky water along the lakeshore. And he got bathed with woolite. Their soft undercoat is prized for its strength and lack of smell. All the benefits of wool or angora, but without an odor or itchiness and few allergies. Knitters woukd stop us all the time asking for his puffs of fur when he shed in the Spring. Our backyard looked like it had balls of cotton.

I miss my Sammies....

Addition - and arguably the best breed personality wise. Friendly, calm, not a big barker. The breed is named for the people in Siberia who created it. Slept with them for warmth - trust me, that coat is soft and warm! One of the few breeds left closest to dogs' wolf ancestors.

We used to joke that if someone broke into our home, Ketuk would happily show them all our valuables, that's how friendly the breed is.

I just like them because...

I'm very glad Disney doesn't have a weight limit, and I hope this doesn't change. My dog is big but lazy. He loves people and other dogs too. Also, my dog would much rather be in a hotel room where we came back mid afternoon to see him than be boarded somewhere without us for a week. He is a pack animal and is miserable when his pack isn't together.

Yup, fluffy they are. My dad went from black to charcoal grey suits after we got our first, if you get my drift.

I am a Biologist.

All dogs smell. Same for all Humans, cats, ect. As far as "germs" I would rather step in dog **** than human. You don't step in human ****, you touch it, everywhere in your room. To all the "allergy!" people, maybe you need to think about how much rodent hair and feces is considered acceptable by the FDA in your food?

It's just a few dogs, humans have been living in symbiosis with them for thousands of years, YOU will be fine.

You're a biologist?
That was a ridiculous post, and you should know that.

The carrier requirement to use Disney transportation will limit large dogs. Glad to see the requirement that you can't leave your dog alone longer than 7 hours. Cruel to leave a dog alone longer than that. And many dogs have been crate trained and will be left in their crates during the day - makes them feel safe.

As long as guests follow the rules, I don't have a problem.

I love dogs and think this is a bad idea. They are handing out pee pads for a reason. I see most dog owners that give a command to their dog and it couldn’t care less. Why, because it is their child and it is spoiled. It can do no wrong in their eyes. Mousekeeping is already taking short cuts and having difficulty keeping up. They do not have the resources to keep up with this. If your a dog owner and love your dog $50 is nothing to be able to bring them. Rooms will get worn out quickly and the Walmarting of Disney will be complete. There will be damage due to separation anxiety. There will be barking at night and there will be pooping and peeing in rooms. What is tolerable for a dog owner is usually not as tolerable for the people next door. This is another money grab at the cost of guest experience.

Good post.
Yes, many of today's dog lovers - who are also the kind who can't go on vacation without their dogs - view their dogs as their children.
"Pet parents."
And as you state, this type tend to have dogs that are not well behaved.
Dog owners by contrast recognize the difference.
