Well, at least owning at AKV I can be sure they will never allow dogs at that resort. The first time a dog chases an antelope across the Savannah would be about 20 different lawsuits.

And a really cheap "tandoori gazelle" special on the menu at Sanaa that night

Much moreso than the seafood at cape may

There are still people like me (and I love pretty much all animals!) who won't want the possibility of disruption and will simply go elsewhere.

An adult that can make decisions/choices when faced with options , love it. A rare find these days.

Our friends stay at US with the dog, then visit WDW and US from there. They will simply try one of these at WDW now.

ugh, great dog poop everywhere.

Yep. Bad idea.

 

[lockedoutlogic]

I hope you know that they use dogs in the military.

Yeah...but they never buy anything in the PX or qualify for USAA auto insurance.

(I missed this earlier...I assume it's tongue in cheek and in good fun. We haven't treated humans like "service animals" since 1865)

CUTE! But what in the world would one do with it once you got it home?

It sits in a box in my attic like the 1.0 version I got in Anaheim last year

I suppose that's an answer. Not a workable one for those of us with clutter issues.

I think everyone is overreacting to the dog thing. They have to thoroughly clean anyway and I am suuure there are stipulations in how you are taking care of your dog on property. Further more it is almost definitely going to be on restricted wings.

You're relying on the conscientious traveler. I'm not sure that the majority of today's travelers fit that bill. The cost of cleanup will eventually be passed on to the rest of the guests who aren't compelled to travel with a pet. Next up, cat lovers up in arms over discrimination.

 

[Sweettears]

I disagree. It gives people options. Some people travel with their pets. I don’t believe every single hotel should allow them but having options is good.

Usually it's people passing through in route to another destination not necessarily as an endpoint.

 

[Roxyfire]

I don't think they'd go that small...more 200-300 rooms maybe. You need enough giblets to make the gravy.

Haven't seen rumors about new Epcot hotels but that's interesting

I'm waiting for the impending DVC conversion.

It's more that I don't trust people. The entitlement of some guests can already be off the charts. I can only imagine what happens when people get their pets involved too.

Hey now, I'm sure lots of my fellow travelers getting the room after me have no problem whatsoever with that residual litter box aroma!

I have probably 800 individually boxes Christmas ornaments...

...who are you talking too, sista?

Mine's on display in my living room. I don't have much interest in the "red accent" when it's the same mug as last year. Boring.

On display?

Who comes over and says "wow! I didn't know you were THIS cool"?

You missed my post earlier - already there.

It's next to my Indiana Jones fertily idol. Yes, I'm a nerd.

Why would you buy one to put it in your attic. If you don't want it, just sell it on ebay for $150.
