Attention Campers with Pets, some changes are coming your way!

[mickeysaver]

I just thought that I would let you guys know that the kennels are changing a bit. I am particuarly pleased to hear the news about the new luxury kennels that are coming. Maggie

Beginning January 10, 2008, the Walt Disney World Resort will transition its kennel operations to an industry expert, Best Friends PetCare Inc. Best Friends is a national provider of pet hospitality in the United States, with 44 locations in 18 states.

Conversion of Walt Disney World Resort Kennels to Best Friends will occur in phases throughout the months of January and February 2008 with the anticipated transition schedule as follows:

1/10/08 - Transportation and Ticket Center and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground Kennels

1/24/08 - Epcot Kennel

2/7/08 - Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom Kennels

Best Friends is also slated to build and operate a full-service, luxury pet "resort" at the Walt Disney World Resort. The one-of-a-kind pet facility is expected to open in mid-2009 and will be located on Bonnet Creek Parkway. The luxury pet "resort" will cater to park and resort Guests and will provide a full range of pet hospitality services. Note, with the addition of this facility, there are no plans to allow pets in Guest rooms at any of the Disney Resort Hotels with the exception of designated service animals.

Interesting...I don't think I want my dog leaving the FW property...but I would LOVE it if they did a dog walking service so we didn't have to leave the parks midday just to come back and walk him. It's the only kennel I know of that does NOT have separate indoor/outdoor facilities for each dog.

That sounds like great news, for some reason I cant leave my dogs they would howl if I left them LOL they miss us after 10 min.

One of our three Bassets (Little Jack) cute little boy and can howl with the best of them!!!!

Are there currently any dog-walker services in WDW FW? I believe Disney Land has dog walkers available.
