What do I do with my dog at Disneyland?

There is a kennel onsite for pets that are not service dogs to spend the day, while their owners enjoy Disneyland Resort. The Disneyland Resort Kennel Club opens 30 minutes prior to the earliest park opening time and typically closes 30 minutes after the latest park closing time.



As of 2026, Disneyland Resort in California does not have an on-site kennel for day boarding, as the long-standing "Disneyland Kennel Club" was permanently closed to make room for new developments. If you bring a dog to the park, you cannot leave it in your car, as this is illegal and hazardous; security and local authorities will intervene. Instead, you have several high-quality options nearby. Many guests use off-site pet boarding facilities within a few miles of the resort, such as Dogtopia or local specialized pet hotels in Anaheim. If you are staying at a Disney-owned hotel, service animals are the only pets permitted inside the theme parks. For non-service dogs, the best 2026 strategy is to book a "pet-friendly" Good Neighbor Hotel or a nearby Airbnb that allows pets. Some local services even offer "Disney Daycare" packages that include pick-up and drop-off from your hotel, ensuring your dog is pampered while you enjoy the parks.

It might be uncomfortable to wear wet shoes at the Disney Parks, especially with the rain in swampy Florida. However, it's against the Disney dress code to go barefoot at the Theme Parks. We recommend bringing spare flip flops, Crocs, or sandals to change into for water rides or rainy days!
