For many Disney goers, the only exciting thing about going home is reuniting with the four legged member of the family. All of the magic and memories are priceless but sometimes you just miss your dog. If you’re in the parks open to close without a break, you may not want to bring your pet to Disney World. However, if you’re flexible on your trip, always take a midday break or would like to try something different, it’s possible to bring a dog to certain Walt Disney World Resort hotels. What are the dog friendly DVC hotels? Disney Disney Vacation Club allow pets?
DVC and Dogs: Does Disney Vacation Club allow pets?
For the first time, Disney Vacation Club does allow pets but only at The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort. This is the only dog friendly DVC property. These have been pet friendly since before the Disney Vacation Club takeover.
Does DVC Allow dogs?
DVC does not allow dogs at any other property as of now. It’s unlikely that Disney Vacation Club allowing dogs is the new norm. It’s more likely that the Fort Wilderness cabins home resort is an exception. It is already a very pet friendly location with a dog park. The accommodations are spread out, providing ample room. We don’t anticipate all DVC resorts going forward to allow dogs. Maybe we will see more at some point though.
What Disney resorts allow dogs? Dog Friendly Disney World Hotels
There are a few Disney resorts that are not DVC properties that allow dogs. There’s actually one hotel in each of the categories. For example, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is the value property that allows dogs. Disney Port Orleans Resort – Riverside is the moderate resort that allows pets. Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is the dog friendly resort in the deluxe category. Then there’s Fort Wilderness. It’s always kind of seemed in a category of its own. Now with the conversion of the cabins to DVC, The Cabins at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort becomes the first and only pet friendly stay on points.

You take over a contract for an owner who no longer wants theirs. It becomes fully yours but the price is much lower than if you were to buy from Disney directly.
