Walt Disney World did! With the newest addition to the Walt Disney World Resort, guests will now be able to bring the family pet along for the vacation of a life time! It was just announced that Disney will be presenting a new luxury pet resort, to open in the year 2010 at the Walt Disney World Resort.

The soon-to-be pet resort located along Bonnett Creek Parkway, will be the premiere location for guests to the Walt Disney World Resort area to keep their dogs and cats while on vacation. At the resort, family pets will be given special additional levels of service and amenities while their owners enjoy the Disney attractions and Orlando theme parks.

Built and operated by Best Friends Pet Care, Inc., guests can know that their pets are in good hands. Best Friends Pet Care, Inc. has taken over all responsibility for pet care on Disney property, assuming responsibility for the five existing pet boarding facilities located at Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. By assuming full responsibility for these facilities, Best Friends Pet Care will get the opportunity to better understand the needs and wants of pets and pet owners before the grand opening of the new pet resort.

“We are thrilled to have this opportunity to come to Walt Disney World Resort to create the premier vacation destination for pets,” says Dennis Dolan, President and CEO of Best Friends Pet Care to examiner.com. “This project is still in the design phase, but our goal is to create a true resort destination for pets. This facility will be designed to fit into the Walt Disney World vacation experience and will be unlike anything else in the industry.”

The current kennel services provide both daytime and overnight boarding, but the new pet resort will feature top of the line care for those wanting nothing but the top-of-the line for their little (or big) Fido! The full-service luxury pet “resort” will feature luxury suites for pets with televisions and raised bedding. It will offer the best-of-the-best in pet hospitality services, day care, grooming, and doggy day camp. There will also be a full array of activities, such as nature walks, pet playgroups, ice cream treats, bedtime stories, and more! The services will be available for not only park and resort guests, but for Walt Disney World employees, as well.

So, while you spend your days at the Disney theme parks (with discount Disney tickets from OrlandoFunTickets.com, of course), send Fido and the family cat off to a day at the spa…Err resort…with all of their furry friends. It will be a vacation you, and your pet, will never forget!
