409.0. "Pets at WDW?" by ABACUS::JANEB (See it happen => Make it happen) Fri Mar 11 1994 08:53

    Anyone out there know anything about the kennels at Fort Wilderness, or
    any other kennel within WDW?
    
    My friend is going to WDW in her RV and would like to take her very
    small dog.  She asked me to ask you
    
    	How are pets treated at the FW kennel?  Do they get enough
        exercise?
    
    	How strict is the campground about having pets in your unit?
    
    Thanks,

409.1put dog in kennelNPSS::BADGEROne Happy camper ;-)Fri Mar 11 1994 11:5514
    Its one campground that its a pleasure that one does not have to worry
    about the kids bringing back into the camper the 'donations' left
    behind by a camper who wanted to share his pet with the world.
    
    that said, our bird enjoyed WDW just fine in our camper.  Had he been a
    dog, he would have been in the proper place, the kennel.
    If I had heard a dog in the CG, certainly I would have reported such 
    occurance.  Dogs are just great, its only some thoughtless owners.
    
    there is also a safety concern.  If electricily is lost to the camper,
    the temperature can go up high and endanger the dog's life.
    just my fellings.

    I believe the policy is that you *must* put the dog in a kennel. 
    
    I have gone by the kennel at FW daily when down there, but have never
    kept a pet there nor gone inside.  It looks nice is conveniently
    located and I see most owners going to the kennel in the
    morning/evening to visit with their pets and bring them for a walk.

409.3It was Walt's ideaIVOSS1::GREEN_RIGod has no grandchildrenMon Mar 14 1994 10:196
    
    I remeber reading somewhere that the kennel at Disneyland was Walt's
    idea.  He couldn't bear the thought of irresponsible people leaving
    their pets in the car while they enjoyed Disneyland.

409.7FT WILDERNESS KENNELS ARE GREATNEST::DUHAMELTue Apr 05 1994 09:2516
    THE KENNELS AT FT. WILDERNESS HAVE TO BE THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVER
    SEEN.  YOU WOULD NOT KNOW THAT YOU WALKED INTO A KENNEL.  THEY ARE
    CLEAN AND EVERY TIME YOU TAKE YOUR DOG OUT FOR A WALK THE ARE IN THE
    CAGE CLEANING IT AGAIN.  THEY PUT A SAMLL TOWEL DOWN FOR YOUR DOG TO
    LAY ON .
    THE PEOPLE WHO WORK IN THERE ARE GREAT ALSO.  THERE IS A LADY WHO HAS
    BEEN THERE FOR YEARS BY THE NAME OF RITA.  IF YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH FOR
    HER TO CARE FOR YOUR DOG YOU HAVE IT MADE.  SHE IS WONDERFUL!!!!!
    
    I HAVE BEEN LEAVING MY DOGS THERE FOR 10 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER EVER HAD
    A PROBLEM.  YOU CAN EITHER BRING YOUR OWN FOOD OR HAVE THEM FEED YOUR
    DOG THEIRS.  THEY HAVE COME AND GET IT DOG FOOD.  THEY WILL FEED THE
    DOGS ONCE A DAY EITHER MORNING OR NIGHT IT IS YOUR CHOICE.
