[Travelandtourism] Waiting Kennels

[Peter Donahue]

Hello Cheryl and everyone,

    I was under the impression that there were kennels at guest services 
where one could leave their dog while taking in guide dog-unfriendly 
attractions. If this was the case it would bea no-go with me. My idea is to 
place waiting kennels in the loading areas of designated attractions where 
someone could leave their dog while enjoying the attraction and pick it up 
when they're ready to move on to another part of the park. The best solution 
is to have someone "Sit" the dog while you're getting your thrills. I've got 
this one covered as Mary doesn't like to ride rollercoaster's. I was 
thinking of the situation where someone shows up unaccompanied and wants to 
go Sorrin!  Perhaps he can clarify this for us.

They used to have this at the parks, but unfortunately the dogs were not 
watched, or the gates were not locked, whatever have you and some dogs got 
hurt, I think Disney got sued or something and don't want to go in the route 
again.
When we speak again to Mr Jones, we can bring this up.

> Good evening Cheryl and everyone,

>     Since I did not want to monopolize the call an idea came to me while

> choose to go on a ride or visit an attraction where the dog cannot go or
> where you wouldn't feel comfortable taking it. When at Islands of 
> Adventure
> last year I rode the "Jurassic Park River Adventure." The ride attendants
> insisted that all of us in our party ride together. Since this is a
> floom-type ride there's no way I would have been able to
> secure Johnny on it. They showed me to a kennel on the boarding platform
> where I could leave him while I rode and could pick him up after the ride
> was over.

>  We could suggest to Mark the installation of waiting kennels at those 
> rides
> and attractions where the dogs can't ride or the owner chooses not to take
> it in to the attraction. This would relieve the guide or service dog's 
> owner
> of having to kennel the dog at a remote location, the expense of kenneling
> the dog,  and having to be totally without it on days they wish to get 
> some
> thrills, chills, and spills, and still be able to use their dog during 
> their
> visit to the parks.
>
>     In conformance with park policy it would be the owner's responsibility
> to kennel the dog prior to boarding the ride or entering the attraction, 
> and
> removing it when the ride is over or when they wish to move on to another
> part of the park. Please pass this suggestion on to Mark for Disney's
> consideration after it gets a round-robin from list members. All the best.
