Animal lovers who find it hard to say goodbye to "Spot" or "Fluffy" when going on vacation can take them along for the trip to Walt Disney World Resort. Guests can board their pets at one of five Walt Disney World Resort Kennel Club facilities across property with one at each Walt Disney World theme park and one at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.
The kennels offer overnight boarding for guests' cuddly pals, but aren't all "gone to the dogs." Accommodations are available for other critters, such as rabbits, ferrets, small rodents, birds and non-venomous snakes (provided guests supply a carrying case). All cats and dogs have to be at least 8 weeks old to be kenneled.
As a member of the American Boarding Kennel Association, Walt Disney World kennels require its furry boarders to have up-to-date vaccinations. Guests are also required to walk their dog at least twice a day.
Camping with pets is welcome at designated Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground campsites. Should guests choose for their pooch to "ruff" it, there is a fee of $5 per day, per campsite. Guests can specially request a pet site when making reservations at 407/W-DISNEY.
