    Dog airline carrier

    I've flown with my 9 pound dog and used a Sherpa soft sided carrier. It does not have wheels. Most airlines tell you the dimensions for the carrier PLUS the dog has to be able to stand up and turn in it. An 18 pound dog sounds a bit on the large size to fit in any carrier under-seat. They...

    Never thought I'd do it- Cancelled.

    I hear you. I came here to see the sentiments being express. Our situation... we wanted to get away to somewhere warm for a couple of weeks. We decided on Orlando, and would only do parks for 2 individual days because we had our dog with us. We enjoyed the area and weather the rest of the...

    Getting a reservation???

    I gave up for either a campsite or a cabin. Cabins are available for my dates, but the prices are obscene - as in over $500 a night plus the pet fee. I'm staying at the Grand Cypress in a suite with a kitchenette with breakfast included for far less money, and frankly, a nicer hotel. We love...

    Getting a reservation???

    I keep looking. We would love a preferred site near the marina. We loved it there. We also realize that renting an RV is nearly the same cost as a cabin, but that $50 daily pet fee is what is killing us (on principle). I'm truly shocked at the prices the rooms are going for. I tried the...

    Bringing the Doggo Along to the Fort...

    I was told all loops can be pet loops now. When we rented an RV, we paid the $5 per day. We also stayed in a cabin, and the fee is an absurd $50 per day to have a pet. Even a very small one.

    Getting a reservation???

    After a rough couple of years, excluding covid, we want to visit Disney again. Our last trip was Jan 2020 and we stayed in the cabins with a small dog. We want to go again sometime in Dec or Jan and rent an RV again, but spots seem to be sold out completely. Ditto for the cabins, plus, they're...

    How dog friendly is the fort?

    No, he was just a year old and we didn’t feel comfortable leaving him yet.

    How dog friendly is the fort?

    I just returned from staying in a cabin with my small dog, and have also stayed in a campsite with him. The fort, particularly the RV loops are extremely dog friendly. It seems everyone has a dog and everyone is friendly and courteous about it. I saw a few dogs in the cabins area and had no...

    Cinderella’s Ponies?

    They moved the entire stable to near the front entrance parking lot. We enjoyed going to see all the animals and walking around the barn, but did not this trip because it didn't appear to be as accessible as it had been in the past. From what I understand this is a permanent move. From what...

    A couple questions about the cabins...

    The cabins used to have a pack n play. I did not see one a few weeks ago when I was there.

    >> Dog-Friendly Resorts FAQ <<

    We had the same issue with our 2 year old dog at the cabins. We let him settle in for a 2 days before leaving him for an hour. We put a camera on him and saw the fuss he was making and decided to put him in Best Friends.. We chose the indoor/outdoor room and paid extra for playtime and...

    Sofa bed in cabins

    On a separate note, I make a point to go talk to someone in management about the bed situation every time I'm there. I explain we used to go to FW 3-4 times a years and have stopped doing so because of that sofa bed. This time I'm going to mention we rented an RV last year rather than stay in...

    Sofa bed in cabins

    We don't arrive until Sunday, so we may miss each other. We'll have a little white poodle with us. No matter how hard I try, only my head will fit in his bed :) I doubt the sofa will be comfortable enough - or even long enough.

    Sofa bed in cabins

    I'm 5'7" and the last time I tried to sleep in the bunk bed my feet hit the rail. But we can't sleep in that queen either for the same reason - the wall and we normally sleep in a king. We'll be there in about a week.

    Sofa bed in cabins

    The last time I tried to sleep in the bunk bed it was just a bit too short for me. But I'm going to try again.

    Late night check in to cabins?

    Make sure you tell them you're arriving after midnight. The systems process around that time and they have to get your information in before then or you may be listed as a no show. BTW - if your flight time changed by more than a few hours, the airline should allow you to get on an earlier...

    Sofa bed in cabins

    Those sofa beds are awful and one of the main reasons we don't stay as often as in the past. We rented an RV our last trip, mostly because of the sofa bed. We were there right after they refurbished and complained about how uncomfortable the bed was and they sent us over 2 mattress pads made...

    Looking for RV rental company

    I was very, very, very happy using Kissimmee Orlando RV rentals. The owner delivers, parks, and sets up the RV himself and they're very well equipped. I would definitely use him again.

    Price increase

    I stayed last March in preferred and paid the high season prices. While we really weren't trying to save money and wanted to try renting and RV, after we paid for the site and the RV, we could have stayed in a cabin, paid the $50 extra a day for the dog, and spent the same money, though we did...
