Pet Centre
[Disney Vacation Planner]
Disney doesn't allow any pets into the theme parks, with the exception
of service animals such as guide dogs for the blind.
Similarly with the exception of a few special sites at the Fort
Wilderness Campsite pets aren't allowed into the resort areas
either.
Guests that wish (or need) to take pets to Walt Disney World
can lodge them during the day at the air-conditioned Pet Care
Kennels for $6 per day including one feed. Overnight lodging is
available for $11 per night including dry food (resort guests
pay $9 per night).
To accommodate pets with special dietary needs, Pet care staff
will feed any special food misture provided by the pets owner
if required.
There are five Pet Care Kennels, at the following locations:
- Near the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC).
- To the left of the main Epcot entrance plaza.
- At the entrance to the Disney MGM Studios.
- At the entrance to Disney's Animal Kingdom.
- At the entrance to the Fort Wilderness campground.
Each of the five centres are located next to a large field that
pet owners can use to exercise their animals (note that Kennel
staff won't walk animals themselves, or allow pets out of their
cages unless the owner is present, but request that guests visit
their animals a couple of times a day to exercise them themselves).
The Kennels tend to get busy during the morning, so if possible
it's best to arrive before 09:00. The Kennels also close an hour
after the theme parks close.
Despite the fact that the Pet Care centres are called "Kennels"
they catually handle all sorts of animals, from the regular domestic
pets such as Birds, Dogs, Cats etc, right through to more exotic
animals (Spiders, Snakes, Lizards), and in the past have handled
animals like Bears, Cougars and Ocelots (though if you plan to
bring an exotic animal it's best to provide advance notification
if possible).
If you plan to lodge a pet at one of the centers, make sure
you bring all vaccination certificates with you, since Florida
law requires proof of immunisation for all animals involved in
biting incidents.
There are a small number of sites at the Fort Wilderness Campground
that can accommodate guests with pets, for an additional charge
of $3.00 over and above the normal nightly pitch charge.
