Animal safety in Walt Disney World
Animal safety in Walt Disney World
With the exception of working service animals, pets are not permitted in the parks, Downtown Disney, transportation vehicles, or resorts. Designated areas of Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground do allow pets, specifically dogs, but those areas are limited. Best Friends Pet Care operates a "pet resort" near the Port Orleans resorts, offering a variety of packages, including both day stays and overnight accommodations, with separate areas for dogs, cats, and "pocket pets" like hamsters.
Do not leave your pet in your car. It is against the law in Florida, as well as potentially fatal. The penalty is a $5,000 fine. A car with a pet locked inside will be broken into to remove the pet, and WDW will not be held liable for any damages incurred.
Service animals may not be accommodated on some attractions. In that case, they must remain with a non-riding member of your party, as Cast Members are not authorized to handle service animals.
