[nagdu] Kennels at walt disney world in FL

[Jewel S.]

According to Disney World, however, this will all change as of August
27. Disney World now has a new Best Friends Pet Resort, located across
from the Port Orleans resort. It is a luxury resort with indoor
kennels, indoor/outdoor suites, and special VIP suites with flatscreen
TVs, raised beds, and other special amenities (whose dog really needs
that??).

According to the website, <http://wdw.bestfriendspetcare.com/>, "All
pet boarding will now be at our new Pet Resort on Bonnet Creek
Parkway." This means that the other kennels at Disney World will be
closed as of the opening date of August 27.

This new resort looks great, but I have yet to research their
understanding of guide dogs, how a guide dog would be handled, and
what transportation is available for getting to this pet resort (they
give driving directions, but I did not see directions via bus or
rail).

Anyone want to do this research for us all?
