Where can I walk my dog Disney?

Lake Louisa State Park You and your pooch are invited to explore 20 miles of unpaved trails and a half-mile nature trail at the Lake Louisa parking lot. Dogs are welcome as long as they are on a leash under six feet. Please note that dogs are not permitted in the lake.



At Walt Disney World, you can walk your dog in designated pet-friendly areas located at four specific resorts: Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort - Riverside, Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. These resorts feature specific "pet relief" areas and walking trails away from the main guest corridors. It is important to note that dogs are not allowed in the theme parks, water parks, or Disney Springs (unless they are service animals). If you are staying at a non-pet-friendly resort or spending the day at the parks, you can utilize Best Friends Pet Hotel, a luxury boarding and daycare facility located on-property that offers playgroups and "doggy ice cream" breaks. For 2026 travelers, remember that there is a nightly pet fee (ranging from $50 to $75 depending on the resort tier) and a limit of two dogs per room. You must also provide proof of current vaccinations and ensure your dog remains on a leash at all times when outside of your guest room.

There are sidewalks and lights, so it's safe and pedestrian friendly. It's about a 10-12 minute walk, at most, I would think. In terms of safety, going to Disney is safe. I have never used the shuttle, but I've traveled to Orlando and visited the parks with my own son and we were fine (we had a car).
