I asked questions about bringing a dog (we have an adopted greyhound and worry about leaving her at home) to Disney on this very site about two months ago. I got many great responses from people. There are several kennels at Disney, and they have crates large enough for a greyhound. However, there are no reservations taken, so it is first come, first serve. You need to go to the kennel at least once a day to walk your dog. As I understand it, the Epcot kennel has the nicest dog walking area. For a small fee, kennel walkers will also walk you dog for you. I didn't know if I thought this was a good idea with a greyhound-you know-never leave them off the leash, and they are very quick to lunge. Disney will feed your dog their own food, or you may bring your own. The brand name of dog food the woman at the kennel gave me was not one that was good for greyhounds. The people will also feed snacks if you leave them. My best source of information was the Disney website, which gave facts about the kennels, and, I believe, a phone number to call (f not, I got the phone number from one of my Disney books). Anyway, I called the number, which took me to the kennel outside the Magic Kingdom. I spoke to a nice woman, and then I called back several days later to confirm all of the information she gave me. Probably the best bit of advice I was given that was not understood by many people that e-mailed me advice, was that the kennels are open 24 hours a day to dog owners. You can go to the kennel, show identification that you are the dog owner, and there is someone there 24 hours a day to let you in. The kennels do "open and close," but I was assured that dog owners can always get in. Best wishes on this.
