Exciting Changes to the WDW Pet Kennels!

I'm usually the first to decry outsourcing (I've made no mystery about my feelings pertaining to the outsourced Valet's- they stink), but I support this one. If my dog could have a decent time in the kennel while I'm in the park and not worrying about her, even better.

Yep, and they don't wear Disney name tags or costumes. They have their own company's maintenance uniforms. Saw them late one evening at the Wilderness Lodge in October.

Will they offer a walking service so that i wont have to down my margarita at Epcot's gate only to have my dog walk me?
:lol:
Personally, I would only find the kennels exciting if the Cast and Crew from Beauty and the Beast treated my dog like Belle was treated during "Be Our Guest"

I agree! When I posted about this a few months ago, I got comments like "How do you not want to see your pet a million times when you're on vacation!?!?!?!?!"
I love my dogs, but sometimes everyone needs a vacation from everyone. Good to know they'll be living it up like their daycare here in NYC. The crates and cages at WDW kennels always seems a little prehistoric.

Bringing back an old thread.... I used the new services this weekend for three days and really enjoyed the fact that the pup would be walked and fed throughout the day. I even found out that the cuter the puppy, the more chance it has of being let out of the cage and run around the play area or the office.
I did however find out that once the new motel is opened, all of the current kennels will be closed. This I think will be a major pain for those who are just visiting for a day or so and have to travel to the motel, drop of their pet, then drive to the park they wish to enjoy.
If your at MK until close, will the kennel stay open long enough to pick up your pet? If the motel only stays open an hour later then the last park, I don't see that being enough time to leave say MK, get to the parking lot, drive to the motel, and check out your dog.
Just some thoughts......
again, LOVE THE NEW SERVICES!!!!

A family friend of mine just used Best Friends Pet Care last week in New Jersey. She has 2 dogs under 10 pounds. For 9 days the bill was 639 dollars. Their price was also discounted. It's around 40 dollars a night per dog.
The Disney prices are so much better. Seems so worth it!

Feel free to say "Holy thread bump Batman."
Yes, I am bumping this because I am dying to know if the new facility is still a go or yet another victim of the downturn in the economy. Can anyone advise? TIA
