Pet Accommodations

Many families with furry or four-legged members will face the question of what they do with their pets during their Walt Disney World vacation. For those who choose to bring their pets to Orlando, Disney has a few pet accommodations options to help.

Dog-Friendly Resorts at Walt Disney World

Walt Disney World is offering to allow guests to bring their dogs to stay with them at some select hotels. The participating hotels and nightly rates are:

Up to two dogs per room are allowed, and dogs must be well behaved, leashed in public areas, and have up to date vaccinations.

Additionally, dog accommodations will be limited to small and specific parts of each participating hotel. For maps of the dog relief areas for each of these resorts, visit here. For further information about the Dog Policies at Walt Disney World Resort, click here.

At check-in, each dog will get Pluto’s Welcome Kit. The kit includes a mat, bowls, a pet ID tag, disposable plastic bags, puppy pads, and dog walking maps. As well as a special “Do Not Disturb” door hanger to notify hotel staff of the pet’s presence.

Pet “daycare” services can also be arranged through the Best Friends Pet Care (see below).

For more information, guests should call 407-W-DISNEY.

Grooming

Pets can also get a full range of salon services, from a simple shampoo to fancy “pawdicures” or flea treatment and tooth brushing. Contact the center directly for current rates.
