There Has Been A Miracle !

[terri01p]

For all you pet loving folks out there ( which I am one), I have found another option for us and I wanted to report for others to know :

www.tropicalpalms.com

Tropical Palms resort and campground allows pets in their standard fully furnished cabins! They allow up to two pets and charge a flat 25.00 fee for each pet. You do not have to kennel them during the day.

The campground is right outside WDW and it is nice, we have stayed here and we were pleased, the pool is 24 hours.

So check out the website and see if this might work for your family and take that furbaby and let them sleep on the couch ( that's what mine does)...haha

Wow Tropicana Beach,

That's nice !
So, now I can take my pet with my Disney Land trips.

That's great news.

Ewww I've stayed there. Not a great place!

We stayed in some dingy hotels, but this place took the cake.

When we went they didn't have tv's or phone's. We even made a lovely song about them. This might have changed.

It also smelled of charred remains. Ugh.

This is awesome! When did this happen? I know they used to not allow pets. We've stayed there, when we still had our RV. Our experience was very nice. I don't know anything about the cabins though. I'm off to check for reviews.

 

[tarheelmjfan]

The reviews are not so good. I'd love to see more recent reviews to see if the new management has made positive changes & refurbished the cabins. This would be a great option, if they have.

Oh geez don't crush the miracle people please!!!!!!


I stayed here in my Rv and the campground was the nicest next to FW that we saw...and we looked at the cabins and really liked them but they didn't start allowing pets until this year, I beleive.

Has anyone stayed here recently? We need real live pictures, I really want this place to work for us but if it has went down hill in the last year or so please someone report, I need something clean, I live in a dump, I don't want to vacation in one

Let me get some feedback from my people over on the camping board and I'll report back my findings. Some folks had a grand gathering there recently...let me see what the real deal is.

Have you heard any more recent info? I'm excited about this option, & would love to hear recent reviews from those who've stayed in one of the pet friendly cabins.

I have to think that any place that allows pets is going to pretty much become a place that's exclusively used by people with pets. I personally don't like dogs, and would be thoroughly grossed out at staying someplace and sitting on a couch that a dog had slept on. We had this happen once at a Best Western... We made up the sofa bed with sheets for my son and noticed there were little hairs all over the sheets. So, we got another set of sheets and the same thing happened - that's when we discovered it was dog hairs all over the sofa cushions. Just nasty.

I think pet lovers must be used to this and just aren't bothered by it, so I'd quickly see a place like this only being used by pet owners. Maybe that's the market niche they're going for!

Nope, this is a pet lover that would be grossed out as well.

We went to the beach in NC over the summer. We took our two small dogs and walked in to our pet friendly beach house and were totally digusted! The rug in the living room was caked with dog hair and most of the comforters as well. I called management right away and made them come remove everything and wash it.

I am a pet owner and take my dogs with us were we go but I don't allow them on my furniture, beds etc. or anyone elses and they sleep in a crate, I can't stand dog hair everywhere.

I looked up this place after seeing it is pet friendly but I would rather pay the same amount for many of the pet friendly villas I have found in my search.

I'm with you on that. I allow my dog on my personal furniture, but I'm vacuuming it like every other day and my dog is NOT allowed on my sheets. I traveled down to Orlando in March when I was looking for a house to purchase for my move and we rented an AWESOME house in Kissimmee from a British guy and he allowed me and my sister to bring our dogs. He does not rent it very often and we were only the second family that brought a dog since he had bought it in 2004. We did not allow the dogs on the furniture and I quickly folded their comforters and sheets up and put my own sheets and blanket down so theirs wouldn't get dog hair on them. He told us not to clean before we left but we vacuumed several times during and before we left and I don't think he could tell our dogs had been in there.

Not every animal owner is nasty, and not every animal owner likes pet hair.

I think you'd all be surprised with the luxury chains that allow pets. But wait...... That wasn't what this thread was about. If I'm not mistaken, it also wasn't an open invitation for unsolicited opinions either. Let's get back to what the thread is about, shall we?

 

[terri01p]

You got to love the dis. where else can you start a pet friendly thread to let people know of an option of somewhere else to stay with their pets and it turn into a thread of all pet friendly places being nasty, seriously you have got to love it.

Not all dogs shed, I have a cockapoo that I can honestly say does not shed, if my dog did shed he would not be allowed to sleep on the couch, really it's just that simple.

I have never stayed at a pet friendly place that was as gross as the post above mine refers to, if I did, I would just ask for my money back and go somewhere else. Also, really if you have such a dislike for animals by all means go to a hotel or beach house that is NOT pet friendly, it's once again just that simple.

Although I did have three strips of bacon underneath my bed once at the AlStar Music

I have owned a dog for my whole adult life and I'm years old now and I don't have dog hair on my couch or in my beds or my sheets or all over my rugs, I think daily cleaning will take care of these problems should they arise.

Why rain on my parade, just skip over a thread if your not a traveling dog owner, or if you disagree with the thread,.. move along...nothing to see here people.


Ok back to my original post, I have asked on the camping board about the cabins and Donnie has stayed at TP recently and said the campground and cabins still look good, but I'm waiting on someone with pictures, that has actually stayed in one of the cabins. So I'll update as I get info...

I'm always happy to hear about pet friendly places. Not because I use them but because I am severly allergic and can't even stay at them. I've also had to delay/change flights when someone with a caged doggie is on the same flight.

(Ok sometimes I risk it and pet cute little dogs ..... but I pay for it!!!)

I have cousins with two dogs, when they come over to visit I put sheets on the couch because they just naturally bring their dogs dander and hair with them. I also work with a woman who has a dog that sheds big time--I ALWAYS drive when we go out to lunch--her car has too much stuff in it from the dog.

So OP thanks for the information.

 

[terri01p]

So OP thanks for the information.

I'm glad I could help some, see it really does work both ways. I understand where your coming from, I too suffer from allergy, albeit not pet related...thank goodness! Godspeed to you!

 

[momto4obkids]

Actually I didn't skip over this thread because I was hoping it would be a nice CLEAN place for us to go to WITH our two dogs, as I haven't had much luck obviously with a few of the places we have gone with our dogs.

I thought the same as you, just because it is pet friendly doesn't mean it is nasty. But, so far I have had no luck.

Hopefully you will get a few pics of the place that confirms it is nice!
