The Ultimate Guide to Bringing Your PET to Disney World in 2024

Who says Disney World has to be just for the humans?

Best Friends Pet Resort!

While the parks are for humans only (other than service animals), many locations around Disney World property are actually pet-friendly! If you can’t bear the idea of leaving your furry best friend at home, you can always bring them with you on your next Disney trip. We’re big fans of pets at DFB (we often have a “furry friend Friday” with the team!), so we wanted to share our guide to bringing your non-human family members to Disney World.

Best Friends Pet Hotel

Perhaps, you were unaware that there is a special hotel just for pets in Disney World! The Best Friends Pet Hotel helps to create magical experiences for your furry, four-legged friends (and more).

The pet hotel offers lots of great services for your pets and can make your (and their) vacation a little easier. Here is a list of everything the Best Friends Pet Hotel offers!

Transportation

The cool thing about the Best Friends Pet Hotel is that you don’t even have to take your pet there — they’ll pick them up! The hotel offers transportation for a round-trip fee of $25!

This service is offered at numerous Disney World hotels including Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground, and Disney’s Yacht Club, and now they have just begun offering it on January 15th, 2024 from Disney’s Art of Animation and Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside! There are scheduled times for pick up and drop off for each resort. If you’re interested in having your pets picked up and dropped off at daycare, call (407) 209-3126!

Overnight Boarding and Daycare

Pets of all kinds, cats, dogs, and pocket pets, can stay overnight or join daycare at the pet hotel! You can choose from indoor or outdoor standard rooms, villas, and luxury or club-level suites. There are several pages worth of options for your furry friend.

Their goal is to ensure your best friend is comfy and safe! They will even board your parakeet!

Doggy Day Camp

Your doggo can do what dogs do best — PLAY! After an initial interview to ensure your four-legged friend is a good fit, you can pick from a membership package that spans from 6 days to unlimited camping.

Your puppy dog can have their best day “playing, snacking, napping, and loving life”. The daycare is available Monday through Saturday. You can schedule an interview right on the hotel’s website!

Grooming

We should really have titled this section “Spa Day” because that’s what your pets can have at the Best Friends Pet Hotel. The hotel’s grooming slogan says it perfectly, “From a bath to a full day of pampering, our groomers will make your pet “paw”sitively gorgeous!”

There are so many options for pampering your pet! There are packages from the Royalty Package to the UnTangled Package and many more. You can get basic grooming services like baths, brushing, and haircuts and select from a variety of fun add-ons from nail trims to facial scrubs. Just head to their website to book your pet’s spa day.

Pet-Friendly Hotels

While you can keep your pet overnight at Best Friends Pet Hotel, there are a few pet-friendly Disney World hotels. The list is short, but it is always an option if you prefer your extra family member stay with you! The following 4 Disney World hotels allow pets:

  • Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
  • Disney’s Port Orleans Resort — Riverside
