Good Lord, I hope not. Why? Why not make Copper Creek?Interesting! IF they make any DVC "pet-friendly", I predict it would be OKW.

They are providing hang tags for the door knob so no one opens the door while you are gone from the room and your dog is still there.Hope they don't allow dogs to be left alone in the room and glad I am not a housekeeper.

Disney is allowing guests to leave their dogs in the room, when the guests leave to spend the day at a park. The rule is that the dogs can be left for up to 7 hours. But since there isn't any way to enforce that rule, guests can effectively leave their dog all day.Most high end hotels allow dogs these days. Never had a problem with cleanliness or otherwise. It makes a ton of sense on a business level and I’m glad to see this change. My only concern with DVC would be the infrequent cleanings. That will become an allergy and odor issue.
I'm not sure about Kimpton but neither Lowes or the Four Seasons that allow pets (not all do) allow them in the room unsupervised from what I've seen.Four Seasons and Kimpton are the only I’ve used personally with a dog but I know there are more and more. I personally would not fly a pet ever unless it were an emergency. But many people do. I have used DLR kennel before and its just a cage ( like a vets office) that you visit a few times a day to relieve your pet in a run. And that’s cruel for too long or for many days. Period. I have no intention of taking my dog to WDW but having taken dogs to other resorts and hotels and still being able to book a decent place was great. The dog who stayed in hotels is now pretty atrthritic (15 year’s old) so we leave her with sitters in her comfy home. Our other dogs were huge and so we always got them sitters. BUT one day, when my kids don’t need me so much and are in their teen years, I’ll get another dog (how I survived the first time) and be glad that many businesses have adapted to the reality that dogs are family if not children to a good chunk of their clientele and that its mutually beneficial to cater to or at least accommodate those folks.
Disney is not taking on an experiment. This has been done in many nice hotels and clearly the profit outweighs the risk.
Dogs are allowed to be alone in a room for seven hours,but who's counting?Hope they don't allow dogs to be left alone in the room and glad I am not a housekeeper.
I don’t know fans of anything quite like Disney/Parks fans who complain, lament, deride and second guess every.single.change and decision. I’m sure Disney has it figured out. I’m sure it’ll be fine. Just like Pandora, just like Magic Bands, just like DVC prices, just like the shampoo bottles, just like Riviera will be... the same thing on every outlet about everything. So don’t bring a dog, so stay at one of the 20 other resorts. Personally, I’ve never wanted to take a dog anywhere more in my life than the Yacht Club at this very moment.
