Kennels at Walt Disney World

A while back, Walt Disney World kennels were taken over by Best Friends Pet Care Inc. The kennels at WDW are still located at each park and at Ft. Wilderness campground. Plus there is a new addition over by Port Orleans Resort. The new facility has a separate area for dogs, cats and pocket pets.


The kennels are located at the entrances to Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom there parks. The kennel closest to the Magic Kingdom is over at the Ticket and Transportation Center. Plus, as said above, Ft. Wilderness campground and on Bonnet Creek Parkway opposite Port Orleans.


The kennels at the TTC, Epcot and Ft. Wilderness include 2 walks and 2 feedings per day. From reading, it appears that the same will happen at Port Orleans area kennel too. Unfortunately, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom kennels, you will have to walk and exercise your dog 2 times a day. The kennels have a fee for each animal boarded for each day there. Reservations are not a guarantee for a space, and may have to be at another of the kennel choices. I would think that the kennels at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom would be the ones with more openings.


Documentation of the following vaccinations is required. No exotic animals are allowed in the kennels.
