Thank you so much for this very helpful clarification of the guidelines!
Does the notation of the room numbers indicate that these are the only dog friendly rooms?
At least for the time being. This is a Disney document.Does the notation of the room numbers indicate that these are the only dog friendly rooms?
It could, I am not sure on that. Disney will try and place dogs in one specific area of the resort.Does the notation of the room numbers indicate that these are the only dog friendly rooms?
I totally agree with your thoughts. I think we will change our plans to the BC if possible. It's nice that there are dog friendly hotels, but WDW is a place where folks generally don't stay in their room most of the day for their stay. Disney is pretty upfront on allowing 1.5 hours to get most places on property. It could be a long wait between when owners get a "there's a problem" call from the resort and when they finally get back to take care of their pets.I'm glad we're staying at BC. I love dogs, but I don't want to have to deal with them on vacation. In my opinion, they should stay home. Why would anyone put a dog through this- staying in a crate all day in an unfamiliar place. Dealing with all kind of noises, including fireworks, doors closing, people walking and talking in the hallways. What happens if a dog barks all day when the owner is at the park? Does the owner get a call telling them to come take care of the dog?
Like I said, I love dogs but they should stay home or in a kennel where someone can take care of them.
Doggone it! You do!Looks like I have a new entry for the "What are the differences between the Beach Club and Yacht Club?" post!
Unattended for "no more than 7 hours" per the document? I haven't been a pet owner in years but that seems like a LONG time.
Depends on the animal really. Some dogs will last just fine for that amount of time.Unattended for "no more than 7 hours" per the document? I haven't been a pet owner in years but that seems like a LONG time.
If this was the case, then why is the "pilot" for an entire year?I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I'm thinking that Disney was "pressured" to offer this. I'm not sure by who; guests or some other group, but feel that there is some sort of trigger besides local competition. The best way to respond to pressure is to "pilot" the feature and then you'll have concrete reasons for why or why not this is a good fit for Disney. It's much easier to defend with real life situations [evidence] than to speculate why something theoretically does not work for Disney in this case. Give it a couple of months to see what actually transpires, but in my mind it's just a response for defense purposes.
And how will they enforce the 7 hour rule? It's not enforceable. And Disney doesn't like to enforce their own rules anyway.Unattended for "no more than 7 hours" per the document? I haven't been a pet owner in years but that seems like a LONG time.
A pilot has to be for some duration. 1 year gives them a better sampling of requests, issues, and covers all seasons for WDW. If you limited the pilot to 3 or 6 months, the critics or should I say proponents for the program would have an argument saying that "you should have tried it in the summer months".If this was the case, then why is the "pilot" for an entire year?
Alright I know the whole dog thing has everyone going but again lets me state this fact its an extra $75 PER night , that $75 will add up quick and I doubt there will be any way to get that wavied, so dont expect to many dogs around the YC, normal trip for us that would add on almost $300 and at the much might as well stay another night. or get a club level room
Maybe at their home, but I think it's less likely in a totally unfamiliar relatively small hotel room.Depends on the animal really. Some dogs will last just fine for that amount of time.
Sounds like you have an opinion as to where the pressure might be coming from but are reluctant to say... ?A pilot has to be for some duration. 1 year gives them a better sampling of requests, issues, and covers all seasons for WDW.
