Any contract experts out there know if there's anything stopping them from allowing dogs on DVC properties?
I don't think so - didn't they allow dogs in the DVC resorts during IRMA?Any contract experts out there know if there's anything stopping them from allowing dogs on DVC properties?
I'd have to review but I think they'd have to change the POS. In this case I'd think they could easily on their end since it would be an "enhancement" to the membership. So the bottom line is I don't see any contractual deterrent. The timeshares that allow pets normally have villas specified so this would likely take certain villas off the market for some and lock those with pets into others.Any contract experts out there know if there's anything stopping them from allowing dogs on DVC properties?
They are saying dogs can be left for up to 7 hours alone and are expected to remain silent. If you are called, you are supposed to be back in 30 minutes. Good luck enforcing that policy.Hope they don't allow dogs to be left alone in the room and glad I am not a housekeeper.
I want to see only service animals as defined by the ADA in the DVC resorts. BTW, that doesn't include emotional support animals. Disney has elected not to differentiate - leading to abuse and that is too bad.
That’s not true. You can ask two questions:It is actually illegal to ask someone what kind of support the animal provides, or what their disability is, under the ADA.
So, your suggestion to not allow emotional support animals is a violation of the ADA, which is why Disney doesn't "differentiate".

Legally? Disney could allow it. There is nothing in the contract that dictates room occupancies, including animal occupancy.
Practically, given the housekeeping issues, I doubt they would allow it on points reservations. The pilot adds significant nightly cost via a housekeeping fee, and that kind of thing is harder to deal with in DVC given the reduced schedule.
