4 Walt Disney World Resorts to accept dogs

[DABIGCHEEZ]

So no answer, because a dog sitting on a bed or a chair is not going to destroy the bed or the chair.lol

That's actually the same one I anticipated- an avoidance of an answer, but thought I'd ask to be sure.

I guess then I gave you too much credit with my previous post.

I'm just cracking up at the hysteria.

Dogs ruining furniture in the room by sitting on it. Ummm..ok?

Smelly dogs. I'm sure all dogs coming to the resorts will have just rolled around in a poop puddle.

Escaping dogs chasing squirrels, mistaking a person for a squirrel, and taking a bite of flesh from the human. Because yeah, dogs are that stupid.

It's hilarious.

If that is truly the case, then it is even more disappointing...to care only about their public area furniture and not the furniture their guest are sitting, eating and sleeping on in the rooms.

Dogs are not allowed on the furniture -- the rules said nothing about in the furniture

A) You can avoid this by asking not to be in the dog-friendly wing.
B) Try not to think of all the other things that have happened on EVERY bed at WDW. Dogs ain't the worst of it.

Disney has already said they can’t guarantee you won’t be in a dog room or dog wing. I can guarantee I don’t book a stay at the Yacht Club though.

Some here are being purposely obtuse. I love dogs and have owned dogs. They make a house dirtier and smellier. I love them in spite of that. If you own a dog and claim your house doesn’t smell like a dog lives there, you’re pretending.

There are several breeds of dogs who don't eat, chase, or have any interest in other live or dead animals or rodents.
They don't shed.
They don't like water.
They don't dig.
They don't roll in mud.

Chances are probably 100% that if you own a dog like that then no, your house doesn't smell like a dog lives there.

Umm, dogs tend to have a bit of an odor when they come in from outside, poop or no poop.

Mix in daily summer downpours in WDW...they don't call the smell 'wet dog' for nothing.

From what? Where's the odor coming from? Air hitting the dog makes the dog smell? Lol.
Come on.. let's be a little serious.

Yes. It does. Maybe not your dogs, maybe not all dogs, but yes, many of them do have an odor when they come in from outside.

It has been said that this was a relatively hasty decision on the part of WDW without a lengthy review process. The promotional material reflects that. It hurt my brain reading it. Here it is with some annotations and questions....

I think the random capitalization is all over the place on Disney sites. Maybe it’s intended to make those words proper nouns implying a higher level of importance. I’ve seen legal documents where key words are defined at the beginning of the document and then capitalized when they appear throughout the document but that doesn’t appear t be the case here.

Anyway, the one thing I will point out is that you are stating that dogs climbing on furniture in common areas are not well behaved, but I’m not sure all dog owners would agree with that. Lots of people are generally self centered and like parents with kids, their precious snowflake (dog or kid) is so cute and well behaved that nobody would care if they climbed on the furniture.

I don't understand the science behind that.. but I'll take your word for it.

Related story: I grew up with cats and dogs so I don't mind them... too much. When I go to my friends house and we're about to eat, I have to remind him to clean the table. He keeps forgetting that when he allows his cats to sit there that the rear end of their intestinal canal has been on the surface of what we'll be eating on.

Serious question.. do you think owners who don't groom their pets and make regular vet visits.. are actually going to pay $50 per night to bring that pet to a hotel?

I could be totally wrong.. but I think those type of dogs/owners will be a very slim minority if they show up at all.

I love dogs. I’ve had dogs as pets for most of my life. I still generally try to avoid hotel rooms that allow pets. I have had no issue sitting on sofas or beds with my own dog’s hair at home but I don’t want to be in a hotel room that has had multiple other people’s dogs staying in it (especially dogs that are trapped in the room all day long). There’s no way in the limited turnover time that they will be able to completely remove all trace of the previous dog’s stay. Not every dog is going to be well behaved either and especially when they are abandoned in a room all day even a well trained dog may have an accident on a piece of furniture. It’s going to happen. The same could be said for babies and toddlers but at least they aren’t left in the room all day unsupervised.

I think as long as they keep the dog friendly rooms in specific sections and avoid putting guests without dogs in those rooms whenever possible there shouldn’t be a problem. I still feel bad for the dogs but maybe they can expand this program to include a doggy daycare package where the dogs get to go somewhere to socialize a little and have some fun while the owners spend the day at the parks.

I’m sure your snowflake dogs don’t smell and have saliva that cures cancer.

Fur that has gotten wet smells. The moisture allows bacteria to grow. Like in those daily FL pop up t storms that appear out of nowhere.

Humans also smell, but we bathe more often, wear deodorant and perfume/cologne to mask it.

How much does it cost to board the dog at a kennel? If you have a dog and no family or friends willing to watch it the $50 isn’t a bad price.

Humans are also not locked in the room all day long

Dogs won’t be in the room all day. That’s a cat.
