Does FW allow pets?

Yes. In fact, Fort Wilderness is the only pet friendly resort on Disney World property. Request a pet site when making reservations. Pets are allowed in Premium, Preferred and Full Hook-Up campsites in loops 1600 through 1900, 300, 700 and 800, but must be kept in those areas. Depending on the season and demand, Fort Wilderness might also temporarily designate certain loops as pet loops. There is an additional charge of $5 per day.

Fort Wilderness also has the fenced-in, leash free Waggin' Trails Dog Park: 'Where dogs on vacation can "Lose the Leash"'! The park is located next to the playground at loop 300, but all the pet loops have access to it by way of the designated paths. Currently, Disney doesn't have these on their maps, but they will hopefuly include them soon. All the paths are marked with signs, so you can easily find your way to Waggin' Trails. Leashed dogs are also allowed on the golf carts now, making the park even more accessible. It is open from dawn to dusk, and has several watering stations where the bowls are self filling. (Note: if they haven't been used, the water in them gets very warm, so you will want to get it to fill again with cool water.) There's also a picnic table where you can relax while your dog plays. Dogs must be accompanied by guests age 12 and over at the park; no unaccompanied dogs, puppies under 4 months, or dogs in heat are allowed. Use of the dog park is limited to FW guests staying in one of the designated pet loops. (See the photo section for a sign with all the Waggin' Trails Dog Park rules.)

Owners are expected to clean up after their pets in all areas. There is a receptacle to deposit pet waste, as well as collection bags with which to pick up the waste, located at each of the entrance/exit of the pet loops. Collection bags are also located between sites #1632 and #1634 beside the path to the comfort station, at the entrance to the pet walk in loop 300, and in the dog walk area next to the kennel.

Pets may also be boarded at the kennel near the FW entrance. Note there are kennels elsewhere on Disney property if you can't get your pet in the Fort Wilderness kennel. Disney has contracted with Best Friends Pet Care to provide kennel and care services. The fees are:

Boarding: All boarding rates include two potty walks and up to two meals. There is a full day charge for day of check-in.
Dogs Overnight - Day Guest $23.00
Overnight - Resort Guest $21.00
Overnight - DVC Member $20.00
Daycare $18.00

Overnight - Resort Guest $16.00
Daycare $13.00
Extra Special Services Extra Walk $5.00
Cuddle Time $5.00

Medication: $2.00 charge per administration for owner supplied medications. (no injections)

Vaccine Requirements: Vaccines: Dog must be current on Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella. Cats - Rabies and FVRCP Pets with unverified vaccines and aggressive pets must be attended to by the owner. Extra services, feeding and walks are not available.

For inquiries or to make a reservation, call (407) 824-2735. More information on Disney Kennels HERE.

Fort Wilderness also has pet walks, in addition to walking dogs around the loops themselves. One is along the canal at loop 300, a second along the creek at loop 800, and the third behind loop 1900, servicing the four pet loops around it (1600 - 1900).

Very nice, complete answer from MaggieGrace, but it may not have been toally clear that this applies to the *campsites only*, not the cabins at Fort Wilderness. (The OP mentioned the cabins)

So apart from camping in one of the pet loops, the OP will have to stay off-site, or stay on-site and board their dog overnight at one of the Disney kennels.

You can also rent an RV for the week and stay in the pet friendly loop.

I have never rented an RV, so I have no idea what they cost. I just know it is an option, because several of the RV's at the campgrounds are always ones that are rented. You can tell because they are "wrapped" in a 1-800-Go-RVing (or something like that) banner. :lol:

Might be worth looking into! That pet loop is supposed to be closest to the boat launch, so you'd be minutes away from the MK!
