New Disney pet poll!

[P'colaBeachBum]

I guess I should clarify. You can complain but likely NOTHING will be done. I disagree that the pet policy will make it worse b/c ppl like this aren’t going to pay the pet fee, they’ll continue to lie. If the policy brings more dogs to WDW, it will actually make it easier to spot violators. She can’t pay the pet fee as a pet when she checks in & then claim it’s a service dog if caught outside of the designated areas. If she wants to lie, she has to say it’s a service dog from the beginning. And, ppl like will continue to do this either way. I would argue your energy to affect change would be better on your legislative members to change current ADA laws to protect from abuse. Otherwise, IMO continuing to complain to WDW will be a waste of energy especially while on vacation.

It's in Disney's best interest to check out violations like this. If a wavier is not signed than Disney can be held responsible if a dog bites someone or damages property.

Actually, she absolutely can pay the $50 or $75 per night fee and then say her dog is a service animal elsewhere in order to have the dog granted admission to restaurants and parks. What is stopping her? If she is staying at the YC and then walks her dog over to the international gateway...security asks if it is a service dog, she says “yes” and enters the park. How do they know that she is actually paying to keep her pet at her resort.

I meant in this situation where she was reported & confronted. Think WDW would be more suspicious & confrontational with her if she tried to claim now it was a service dog. I just don’t understand the logic that the policy will bring more ppl pretending to have service dogs. Ppl who were going to do this were going to regardless of the plan.

Agreed. But check them out is different from actually doing anything.

I think they would do something. PR is high on their list and with this roll out they need to be more vigilant.

The OP has gotten the information they wanted from the poll by now, and so this thread is closed.
