How much does it cost to board a dog at Disney World?

Pet-Friendly Policy at Fort Wilderness Until now, Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground has been the only pet-friendly Disney resort. Their pet policy states that you may bring two dogs of any size for an additional fee ($5 per night for the campsites and $50 per night for the cabins).



Boarding a dog at Walt Disney World is primarily handled by Best Friends Pet Hotel, a luxury facility located on-property across from Port Orleans Resort. In 2026, the nightly cost for boarding depends significantly on the level of luxury selected. A standard Indoor Suite starts at approximately $48 to $55 per night, while "Vacation Villas" that include a private outdoor patio and a "playtime" session range from $85 to $95. For the ultimate pampering, VIP Luxury Suites—which feature flat-screen TVs, specialized bedding, Petchatz webcams for owners to check in, and multiple daily walks—can cost upwards of $115 per night. Disney Resort guests typically receive a small discount (around $2–$5) on these daily rates. It is important to note that all dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations, including Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Because this is the only major boarding facility on Disney property, reservations for peak holiday periods often sell out months in advance.
