Did you know that Disney is now pet friendly? Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida opened its first pet hotel for cats and dogs. The new 50.000 square foot Best Friends Pet Resort opens August 27, 2010, and they are already taking reservations for their air-conditioned rooms, “VIP” suites and private outdoor yards. Now, the entire family can enjoy Walt Disney World.

The Best Friends Pet Care resort spans 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. 10,000 feet of this space is reserved solely as a play area so dogs can run and have fun outdoors. There is also a private dog park where pet owners can come and spend quality time with their best friends while on vacation.

Just like Walt Disney, the pet resort offers a variety of room types. Some rooms have air-conditioning units while other rooms are indoor/outdoor combination, and allow pets the best of both worlds. For the A-List pet, Best Friends also have four VIP suites with televisions, luxurious bedding, and private, outdoor play areas.

You probably want to make your reservation for your pet early as the hotel has a maximum occupancy of 300 pets. The cats vacation in “Kitty City”, a residence made up of two and four room condos. These condos were built with privacy and comfort in mind so if you have a cat, he can either spend quality time with new friends or hang out alone.

The resort also offers grooming services, pet playgrounds and even caregivers who will read your pet a bedtime story. No wonder they call Disney the happiest place on Earth!
