Is Swan and Dolphin pet friendly?

Pets are not allowed at the Swan or Dolphin wings with the exception of guide dogs for the visually impaired. Best Friends Pet Care — operated by Best Friends Pet Care, Inc. — is located across from Disney's Port Orleans Resort at 2510 Bonnet Creek Parkway, Lake Buena Vista, FL, 32830.



In 2026, the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin (and the Swan Reserve) are not pet-friendly for traditional domestic pets. While they are located on Disney property and offer many Disney-like perks, they are managed by Marriott International and follow a different policy than the specific "Disney-owned" resorts that allow dogs. Only service animals, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), are permitted at the Swan and Dolphin. If you are looking for a pet-friendly stay at Walt Disney World, you would need to book at one of the four designated Disney resorts: Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside, Disney's Yacht Club Resort, or The Cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. These locations offer a "Pluto's Welcome" kit for canine guests. For those staying at the Swan or Dolphin who must bring a pet to Orlando, the Best Friends Pet Hotel located nearby on Disney property provides high-quality boarding and "day camp" services, allowing your pet to stay close by while you enjoy the resort's premium amenities and proximity to EPCOT.
