I figure the first ones to allow it will be the Vacation Club villas at Animal Kingdom, Saratoga Springs, the Contemporary, etc. since you "buy" into those spots. Then I figure it will be the deluxe resorts (Grand Floridian, Contemporary, Polynesian, & Animal Kingdom Lodge), then the moderates (Caribbean Beach, Coronodo Springs, etc.) and then finally trickling down to the value resorts (Pop Century & All-Star Resorts). I love Disney, but they always do everything like that strange, so I figure they'll try it at the higher end resorts since many couples stay there who have pets that are their "children" and that don't have any or few skin kids. Just my observation!

HOWEVER, the new Hilton Bonnet Creek Resort that will be within Disney property is allowing pets to be in the room. It is NOT a Disney Resort hotel, but it is in the resort property and will provide Disney Transportation. If I remember correctly, it is right inside the entrance to the resort property and right before you get to the entrance to the Caribbean Beach hotel. It's opening Oct. 1 and we are considering staying there for our first night at Disney on the 12th to check it out. Sophie is actually staying with my dad at my house while we are gone, but we are going to go over to the kennels at the TTC to check them out and ask questions. I'll report back with what I find out!

Thank you for the information!! I definately want to hear back after your trip and see what you think of the kennles and possibly the Bonnet Creek Resort. Fell free to PM me also with what you thought. Last year when we went I boarded the dogs with our, who had a great facility and they got tons and tons of love and attention, but now that we have moved to a different state I have not found any place I would be comfortable with and we have no family here. Plus I really worry about them and miss them when we are gone so hopefully by 2011 when we go back there will be a place they can stay with us!!
