The ability to travel with our critters was a large factor in our decision to get an RV. Back round info during our second trip to WDW my wife swears I would sit upright in bed and call for my WookieBear and not lay down and go back to sleep till she came. Next trip we had our 1st coach. All 4 (2 dogs. 2 cats) came with us. The Girls, WookieBear and Maggie were older (9 at the time) loved it. We took time before hand to get them used to the coach by taking them out to it just to be in it and did a number of short trips so they loved it. We took them for frequent walks around the full hook up loops and along the canal which added to our down days and let us meet some really nice people. The cats enjoyed hanging out at the windows watching the squirrels and turkeys.
Jump ahead 3 years and we added the Kids, Sky and Katie shortly after we lost Maggie. Five days after they came to adopt us they made their first ADVENTURING trip. They loved it. This past Dec/Jan they made their 1st ever trip to Ft Wilderness. They had been on a number of other trips and as we bought our current coach in Tampa a year earlier we had a good idea of how long we could go before they need a stop.
At the Fort we took them for regular walks and Golf Cart rides to the Dog Park (Katie every morning exited the coach and jumped straight in the Drivers seat of the GC) Yes we adjusted our touring plans to accommodate them but having them with us was so worth it. We had more down time to enjoy the Fort , met so many great people and enjoyed ourselves more that a trip without them would be a serious let down at this point.
