Agreed. To me it doesn’t seem like the kind of vacation suitable for a dog. There are plenty of places you could go and things you can do that could include the dog, but at Disney they aren’t allowed anywhere but the handful of dog friendly rooms.

Fair enough, but in my experience there are less expensive options at home where you don’t need to travel with the dog and return to the room to let them out. That doesn’t seem like a vacation to me.

The $50 is about what it costs at Best Friends to board your dog depending on the level of accommodation selected. However, the program allows 2 dogs per room so a significant savings if you have 2 dogs.

While the bored and anxious are chewing up stuff in the room, Disney may as well make everything nutritionally beneficial for the precocious pups.

I disagree, you’re not avoiding the cost at all at the price Disney charges, plus you’re still responsible for your dog. I think that qualifies as wanting them there.

I can almost guarantee you the dogs don’t care about plastic vs paper straws...they will gladly chew up and eat either if left in the room. However, the next day when they are out in the designated doggy area doing their thing they will probably be very glad they switched to paper straws ;)

It's not so much that owners want or love having their dogs along with them on vacation........Most just want to avoid the cost of boarding them while they're away from home!

The dog can feel happy about the elimination of disposable in-room plastics while they’re left in the strange room.

Yes.

Is that the sound of a happy dog who gets to go to WDW for another year....or a sad dog who is going to be left in a strange hotel room all day for another year;)

Woof. Bark-bark, growl. Whimper.

So apparently the extension is true. http://www.disneydining.com/dog-friendly-resort-program-at-walt-disney-world-to-be-extended/

I would assume the same resorts would continue. Port Orleans, Yacht Club, Art of Animation and the campground. There’s no official word from Disney except that the original pilot program ends on Oct 15. A poster here said a CM told them it was going to get extended. https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/rooms-packages/hotels-pet-friendly/
