Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
Specific areas of Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground have been made available to Guests with pets. These are full hook-up campsites (Pet Loop). There is a $5.00 per day pet charge. (This is a per day, per site charge only, not per pet.) Sorry, Guests in tents and pop-up campers may not keep pets at their site - they must be kenneled.
The Guidelines for Guests with Pets are as Follows:
- Pets will be restricted at all times to the designated pet loops during the Guest's stay.
- Pets must be walked on the pet path along the canal only. The owner is also responsible for picking up and disposing after their pet.
- Pets may not roam freely in their campsites. The pet must be kept on a leash when being walked or tethered when on the site. This tether can be no longer than 8 feet.
- Guests may not leave pets unattended in their site, which causes them to bark or whine, disturbing other Guests.
- Pets will not be allowed on pargos (electric carts).
NOTE: Pet owners not following these policies will be asked to kennel their pet.
Disney Tails Caters to Pets at Downtown Disney
The Walt Disney World kennels aren’t the only places that cater to pets at Walt Disney World Resort. Disney Tails at Downtown Disney Marketplace is a pet store that’s all about pampering pets. From dog and cat perfumes to Snow White and Minnie Mouse costumes for pooches, Disney Tails stocks everything. Guests can even purchase a personalized Mickey Mouse-shaped ID tag, fresh animal treats or a designer carrying pouch for their pet. Guests will have to shop on behalf of their four-legged companions though, as pets are not permitted at Downtown Disney with the exception of service animals.
