In a trial program, four Walt Disney World hotels have started
welcoming guests with dogs.
The four hotels are Disney's Yacht Club, Disney's Port
Orleans, Disney's Art of Animation and the cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness
Resort & Campground.
Disney's Yacht Club charges $75 per night, and the
others $50 per night.
Also, each hotel offers outdoor pet exercise areas and relief
areas. At check-in, guests traveling with dogs get a Pluto's Welcome
Kit with mat, bowls, pet ID tag, plastic disposable bags, puppy pads, dog-walking
maps and a door hanger indicating to hotel staff that a pet is in the room. Disney
plans to sell pet merchandise at the four resorts.
Doggy day care and other pet services are available nearby
at Best Friends, a facility on-property at the Disney World Resort.
Dogs must be leashed while in resort public areas and must
be properly vaccinated.
