I’d be careful with that anyway. They’ve been pretty clear that the dog thing could go away at any time. I’m assuming they’re trial ballooning it here. I wouldn’t be surprised if take your dogs to the FW cabins is dead by year five.
Yeah. I was potentially willing to run that risk and just sell if they pulled it, as my family travels down about once or twice a year and my current dogs will turn 9 this year. This may not always be true but for now I can take the pups to AoA or POR for 4ish nights - give or take depending on season - for less than the just the cost of annual dues. If they price me out, there are offsite options, though we’re leaning more and more towards just being Universal people. This is actually fairly far down the list of reasons I’ve been dissatisfied with Disney now and in the recent past, for many reasons well covered by many others across these boards, so really their choices with this just made the decision easy for me.
There is already a cabin loop, maybe two, designated as dog friendly, and the campgrounds also allow dogs. So it seems to me they’ll just be keepin’ on with current operations.
The email they sent today said "At this deluxe villa resort you can enjoy extended evening hours..." so it will no longer be considered a moderate resort once the new cabins open. Yes, you can use direct points purchased at CFW to stay at any of the DVC resorts in the 7-month booking window (depending on availability).
Hold the phones, Disney is bringing back cleaning?!?!
No one is forcing you to stay in any of the rooms that allows dogs. You must be fun at parties.
I would’ve attributed the extra fee to increased wear and tear on the unit rather than any kind of special cleaning.
LOL looks like he's saying "you want me to do WHAT? Yeah, no I'll be right here under this blanket if you need me."
I have yet to own a dog that has caused more wear and tear than a child, especially toddlers.
Long time dog owner here, and I also would not want a doggy-smelling room! Initially got excited about "dog friendly resort", as we have a mini-dog that could fly with us, but I wouldn't want to do that at WDW unless I was planning to do a mostly-resort stay with a lot of outdoor time with the dog. Otherwise it's no fun for the dog anyway.
I’m not sure that “set aside” is accurate since it suggests those weeks can’t be sold otherwise, and I don’t want those who are new to DVC to get the wrong idea. It’s actually that no more than 35% of any given week can be sold as a FW.
So adorable!!
