Well we were there over xmas and I have a blind daughter with a guide dog.. we weren't looking for other dogs but other dogs found us. Four times, while working, her guide dog was annoyed by little yappy ratty dogs IN HIS FACE. Im not talking from a distance, I'm talking IN HIS FACE SPACE. He was growled and barked at.
On a normal day ANYWHERE else DD and her dog travel this is rarely an issue so having her guide dog accosted in WDW parks four times in 5 days is odd.
It's a hassle traveling with a dog. I reallllly do not understand the peeps that feel the need to bring their pets everywhere in public. Sorry. It's weird. Emotional support dogs are NOT allowed in WDW parks.
If her dog had been bitten by one of these yappers, there would have been hell to pay. Disney allowing this dog nonsense and not asking people the simple questions is disappointing.
Here is what you forget.. Disney is private land.. They set the rules that YOU have to follow. If they say that animals.. Be that a dog, horse, cat or a bird is allowed and make that public, then so be it.. YOU choose to visit and then understand what is welcomed to their private land.
So Disney told you that if you come there, dogs are welcome. Just like a ton of other locations all over the world. If you don’t want to visit Disney due to that, do be it. But if your service animal is not trained to deal with other animals in a public arena, are they a really a service animal??
You don’t get to tell Disney or anyone else if they want to allow animals on their private land. They need to tell you the lay of the land, for sure. Nobody should be ambushed at a hotel or park and find dogs there if you were never told.
But they told you, so you are in the loop. Either don’t go or not. Up to you.. But good luck on your silly threat to sue ...
