[Travelandtourism] Dog Sitting

Tue Mar 27 22:40:05 UTC 2012

Hey, I'd rather carry around the disney thing than some map.  No way.

and, didn't Mykka Pykala--not sure how to spell his name--use it too last 
year?

>> Hello Margo and everyone,
>>
>>     At the end of the day there are multiple approaches to addressing 
>> what
>> to do with your dog if you wish to take in an attraction where the dog 
>> can't
>> go or if you don't feel comfortable taking it with you. It's a matter of
>> finding the one that works best and you're most comfortable with.
>>
>>     Since Mary doesn't like rough rides she waited in an air conditioned
>> area with Johnny while I, and several others in our group rode the Spider
>> Man Ride at Islands of Adventure.
>>
>>     Bush Gardens has a very good accessibility brochure that has
>> descriptions of all the rides including advisories concerning taking your
>> dog on each one. Perhaps Mark should take a look at these and see how the
>> service animal access information could be rewritten to be clearer to 
>> park
>> visitors who use them.
>>
>>     They have a ride I used to ride as a kid. Back in Massachusetts we
>> called it "The Swiss Alpine Lift." Bush Gardens calls it the "Sky 
>> Ride."It's
>> best described as a skilift type of attraction that carries passengers 
>> over
>> several areas of the free-running areas populated with African Animals.
>> Since this type of ride vehicle has floorspace your dog can accompany you 
>> on
>> it provided you and the dog can be seated comfortably in the ride 
>> vehicle.
>>
>> Another variation of this ride is similar to Sorin at Disney World and
>> Disneyland where your feet hang out. There's no way you could get a dog 
>> on
>> this type of ride vehicle hence the need to have someone watch the dog 
>> while
>> you ride or use a waiting kennel.
