Yes service dogs have been allowed to stay at other resorts by ADA law. And no they will not need to stay at only the 4 resorts..that would be against the law. And no Disney cannot charge an extra fee simply because a person has a service dog but can be charged for damages just like other guests.
Q11. Can hotels assign designated rooms for guests with service animals, out of consideration for other guests?
A. No. A guest with a disability who uses a service animal must be provided the same opportunity to reserve any available room at the hotel as other guests without disabilities. They may not be restricted to "pet-friendly" rooms.
Q12. Can hotels charge a cleaning fee for guests who have service animals?
No. Hotels are not permitted to charge guests for cleaning the hair or dander shed by a service animal. However, if a guest's service animal causes damages to a guest room, a hotel is permitted to charge the same fee for damages as charged to other guests.

So to put this in other words for Service Animals this new policy doesn't apply to them due to ADA law. A service animal is not considered a pet.
Thanks for this info! I think this thread will be great and I look forward to reading actual experiences vs some other threads with wild speculation.
