    Beautiful resort!

    The path around the resort is a great walk for Fido! Tasia loved our early morning and evening walks. Cast members were friendly and the quick service offers a good selection of food choices including some plant-based options. Tasia was allowed to join us inside at the River Roost where we watched Bob Jackson perform. Bob is there Wednesday through Sunday, and if you have never seen him perform, you don’t know what you are missing!! Tasia “sang along” with one song, LOL We were also fortunate to have a surprise meet and greet with a few characters. I will post photos below. This is one of our favorite resorts!

    Magical Stay!

    Easy check-in and out. Room was clean and perfect for my Mom and I with the doggo. Also, the Pluto welcome kit is affordable!

    Overrated

    If I could do a half bone I would. Dog friendly redefined. First there is no Pluto pack for pups. These as the front desk told me, have been discontinued. The poop stations have no poop bags so bring your own. I booked a room through this site because I was bringing a dog and wanted a dog friendly room and Disney didn't have this information on hand but offered me a couple of rooms close to dog relief areas. Our room was dark and small and not worth the price but it is Disney. Lovely gardens friendly staff but needs to stop overselling how dig friendly they are. I don't recommend this resort unless you have no other option.

    Dogs Loved It

    The room was small but the accommodations were amazing. Daily security check necessary so it became a hassle to contact maintenance every day and schedule the maintenance check.

    Walt Disney World Hotels Welcome Pups!

    I was so excited when I found out last minute Disney world now has select locations that allow pups! The staff was amazing and so kind! The pups are allowed everywhere except the dinning areas, pool, fitness center, Disney transportation (unless in carrier) and the parks! To make it ever better Boomer was gift a welcome bag with bowls, potty bag holder, a Pluto place mat, and an adorable collar “charm”! Will definitely consider brining my dog to Walt Disney World again. There is also a boarding and day care place right across the street!
