We are in the process of getting a service dog for our DD in the near future. We travel to Disney once a year (August). We have gone for the last 13 years, but never with a service dog. I am nervous about what we need to do/bring for traveling. I want to be prepared in advance. I know that traveling in the heat, we will also have to be especially concerned to give our dog breaks. Can you please help us out?
Border crossing - we come from Ontario, Canada but drive to Buffalo to fly out from here
Plane - we fly Southwest (dog will be a smaller breed and will be crate trained)
Hotels - we usually stay 10 days PORS and 4 days BC.
Restaurants - we usually do the regular dining plan
Parks - do all 4 parks - DD will skip any rides dog can't go on and stay with dog
Disney Springs - we go here a lot when we are at PORS
We don't do water parks.
Do I need to change any of our usual plans or destinations? Can you please let me know what I need to make sure we have with us? Specific papers? Do I need to contact hotels, restaurants, parks etc in advance? Do I need to book anything / space for plane (I'm thinking dog can be in crate at DD's feet? I just want to be sure that when we get DD her dog, we make sure we have what is needed for traveling. And, we want our vacation to be as smooth and as worry free as possible. I'm sure that we will know more once we get her dog, but right now I'm just looking for advice. TIA
