I prefer that you find a friend or relative to care for your
pet at home, there will be a lot less stress.
But, if you must take them with you, you can now plan to board the
family pet in fun, luxuriously new accommodations. This
one-of-a-kind resort comprises more than 50,000 square feet of indoor
and outdoor space, including 17,000 square feet of air-conditioned
indoor space, 10,000 square feet of covered outdoor runs and play areas,
and an expansive private dog park exclusively for the use of pet resort
clients and their dogs.
The facility can accommodate up to
270 dogs and 30 cats for both daytime and overnight boarding. A wide
selection of suite choices for dogs includes air-conditioned indoor
rooms, 48-square-foot indoor-outdoor suites, and four expansive VIP
(very important pet) suites with television, raised bedding and private
outdoor yards.
Feline Guests will spend their
visit in the separate “Kitty City” pavilion -- away from the dogs -- in
two and four-room condos. All suites and condos are designed to provide
comfort and privacy and will be cleaned daily with hospital-grade
disinfectants.
The resort’s exclusive dog park
features a fenced walking trail bordering the natural wetlands around
the park. Inside the trail, Guests can choose from a variety of
different play areas, including a 3,300 square-foot area covered in
artificial turf, a 4,500 square-foot area with shade trees, and a 1,300
square-foot “canines only” water park. There are several large areas for
owners to sit, relax and watch their dogs play. The entire park is
secured from outsiders and is illuminated for use after dark.
Other features of the resort
include: a grooming salon, which will provide go-home-fresh baths and
haircuts for pets; two 1,100 square-foot “camp rooms” for play group and
doggy day camp, each opening onto an outdoor play-yard; and a special
facility for the boarding of “pocket pets,” such as hamsters, guinea
pigs, rabbits and ferrets.
Pet parents can choose from a wide
range of a la carte activities for pet Guests from one-on-one playtimes
and social playgroup with other doggy Guests, to cuddle time and bedtime
stories with staff. Additional amenities and upgrades include Ice Cream
Treats, Bottled Water and Premium/Orthopedic Bedding. Feline Guests can
also enjoy private playtimes, activity toys in their suites, and treats
such as Cookies and Milk or Tuna on a Ritz.
Camping with pets is welcome at
designated Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground campsites.
Should Guests choose for their pooch to "ruff" it, there is a fee of $5
per day, per campsite. Guests can specially request a pet site when
making reservations at 407/W-DISNEY.
