4 Walt Disney World Resorts to accept dogs
- Thread starter Bolt
- Start date
- You must have not read the posts here of people who stayed at "nice hotels" that allowed dogs and were hit by dog smells and had to deal with incessant barking.
- No one said all dogs are huge. So, straw man much?
- There are pets who travel with their owner who do bark. "Stop it. Fluffy. Shush, Fluffy..." and so on. Also, pets will be left in resort rooms "up to seven hours." So, they won't be with their pets. So, in reality, what is the point you're making here?
- It doesn't matter if your dog doesn't bark. Allowing the general public to bring in dogs, some of whom aren't trained at all, will mean there will be barking dogs. The rooms aren't segregated from the general public.
The lack of logic here is astounding.

To avoid a bite, don't go near a dog.
Most bites happen because humans are silly (especially children) and do things like go up to a new dog and start patting it on the head.

And which value-level resort that has family suites are there that doesn't allow dogs?

Yeah, but children are people. Dogs are...dogs.
Wow... at AoA the dog rooms are at both ends of the resort and in the middle. There is almost no attempt at segregation.
Not to mention that they will be in the ground floor rooms and the rooms above will be for the general population.

No. No. No.
A pet in public should be on a leash and the owner should be extra careful to stop strangers, especially children from approaching their dog.
Stop blaming the victim.
FYI, Humans are animals.

Outside of the Disney bubble there are hotels across the US who accept dogs.
Let's use logic-
if someone is flying to Orlando and wants to bring their dog- chance is good that dog will be less than 20lbs. Good chance that the dog may also be hypoallergenic.
Large dogs need more exercise than small dogs on a daily basis, which is less incentive to bring them even if someone is driving.
Ft Wilderness has the highest chance from the list of seeing larger dogs on property.
I still want to know if there is a weight limit which hasn't been answered yet. Is a Great Dane going to be walking thru Yacht Club?

Yes, but that doesn't provide drama
Here's me and my dog in the airport departing for a vacay.. watch out!!! He might tear your face off!!
Yes, I know not all dogs are this size..but in my experience at hotels who allow dogs, the larger dogs are in the minority. It's mostly dogs who are easy to travel with.

We love our dog like family, which is why we would never bring her to Disney. Being alone in a strange room and hearing people but not being able to see them would be cruel. We go to Disney to be in the parks, so it just seems not right to leave the pet on it’s own.. There is no way they can really enforce the 7 hour rule. Plus our pup is a jumper and a licker, which would bother some people. Disney is magical, but I imagine that it would be hell for pets.
Lots of people drive to WDW, so, the restrictions of weight that might be imposed by the crampiness of airplanes won't stop big dogs. And I'd like to see some scientific backing to the claim that dogs need different levels of exercise based on their size.
Although, I don't know why I've been drawn into this argument about the size of dogs. Their size doesn't matter. There are plenty of (I'm not saying 'all') small dogs that bite, bark, and defecate all over the place.
But here's the problem with your 'logic'. You keep focusing on your experience or the subset of dogs that won't be a problem. And for the subset that are a problem you wave your hand to dismiss that they might even show up.
They'll show up.

Yacht Club should have a weight and breed restriction. That's odd that they aren't implementing one.

I took me a few times to read through this post to understand how it pertains to this subject but I think I got it. So you are saying that since Disney makes accommodates to a subset of people with dietary restrictions(which may in your opinion be mostly made up), then by equivalence Disney should allow an even larger subset of people that wish to bring their dog. Is that the jist of it?
I would have to disagree, a larger appeal certainly does not always make it a good policy. And having a tofu dish on a menu is much different than having a dog barking in the middle of the night.

It all relates back to supply and demand.
If there is a demand for people wanting to bring their dog, Disney will supply the accomadations. Much like if there is a demand for people wanting vegan/vegetarian/gluten free options, Disney will supply it. Otherwise they will lose the almighty dollar to guests spending it somewhere else.

The AKC, vets, and other sources can provide you with exercise needs by breed.
Dogs have all different backgrounds.. some breeds were former hunters.. some were specifically made to be lap dogs.
Individual tempermants will also vary dog to dog, but breeds share a lot of common temperamental traits.
I'm going to trust humans to make the correct decision here. I think people aren't giving pet owners enough credit.. most view their pet as family and know what said pet can handle and what they can't.
Then again.. there are plenty of stupid humans.. and Disney attracts many of them.. so there may be a few annoying dogs at any given time. I think it will be a slim occurrence though.

I wonder if the individual hotels will start offering a walking service in the future.
