Can I leave my dog at Disneyland?

Unfortunately, there isn't a place to drop off your pet at the Disneyland Resort, and the only pets allowed at the theme parks are Service Animals. If you aren't staying at a Disneyland Resort Hotel, I suggest checking with the hotel where you will stay to find out about their pet policy.



While you cannot bring your dog into the Disneyland theme parks (except for service animals), you can utilize the Disneyland Resort Kennel Club located just outside the main entrance. This facility provides a safe, individual crate for your pet during the day while you enjoy the park. It is important to know that this is a "day-use" kennel only; it opens 30 minutes before the park opens and closes 30 minutes after the park closes, and there is no overnight boarding. The cost is approximately $20 per day, per pet. However, it is not a "pet-sitting" service; Disneyland staff are not permitted to feed, play with, or walk your dog. You are required to return throughout the day to take your dog for "potty breaks" and to provide food and exercise in the adjacent exercise area. For travelers staying at Walt Disney World in Florida, the Best Friends Pet Hotel offers a more full-service, overnight boarding experience with playgroups and grooming, but for the original Disneyland in California, the Kennel Club remains the primary—if more basic—option for your furry friends.

There are no rules against this. In fact, she mentioned she has taken her 4-year-old back to her car for a quick mid-afternoon nap break as well! I will say, though, that these parking structures are often pretty loud and can get pretty warm.
