Yet Disney, if it's true, will not let dogs stay in only 4 of their many hotels but is strongly for Amendment 3 which will allow more gambling in the state of Florida. Wondering if Disney is thinking of placing a casino on their property.
Hope my in laws don't read this or they will start lobbying to come with us. Uhhhh no.

Saw this today, seems policy ends in October.
Just spoke with Disney guest services again...
They informed me we could still bring our dog to the cabins in December. They have not made a decision yet to discontinue having dogs in the cabins (but they were honoring previous cabin reservations that were made).
So I guess we will have one more trip with our dog.
Did they say anything about whether they are discontinuing pet dogs at YC, POR, and AoA? So far there are rumors of this, but I hadn't seen anything directly from Disney yet.Just spoke with Disney guest services again...

I wonder if you can get that in writing to take with you. I personally would feel better knowing I'm not going to show up and have to fight the battle with the resort itself. Although I do think cabins have the best bet of it being honored.
While I believe there is a place for genuine emotional support animals, I also think there are waaaaayyyyy too many people who abuse the system. A co-worker was telling me she rents an apartment that charges a fee for pets, but not for service animals, including emotional support animals. She didn't want to pay the fee, so she just got her two dogs "certified" as emotional support animals (zero requirements, just free on-line registration). She freely admits they are just pets, they are not trained to do anything special, and she doesn't have any special emotional needs; she just didn't want to pay. So, yeah, I don't take any registration of emotional support animals at face value.
Nobody loves her dog more than I do. She is four-pawed perfection. Which is why I never would have taken her to WDW even though she could stay in my room. The transport to and from alone would leave her trembling for weeks. She can stay with my in-laws who dote on her almost as much as I do. Win-win for everyone!
I can’t imagine there was a ton of demand from guests versus the expense of extra cleaning and the risk of dog bites. Disney CMs don’t like to confront guests, and people traveling with dogs adds a whole bunch of potential confrontations.
“Your dog belongs on a leash.”
“Please clean up Fido’s doo-doo.”
“Can you stop your dog from barking so much?”
“Keep the dog away from the playground. We don’t want him lifting his leg on the equipment.”
“Dogs are not permitted in the food court, and it doesn’t matter if he’s strapped into a stroller.”
A couple of weeks ago, I was at Macy’s department store, and an elderly woman got off the elevator with a standard poodle strapped into a stroller. It was like a live internet meme. Imagine dealing with someone like that if you’re in customer service?
