Theme Parks that are Pet-Friendly!
Despite the somewhat crazy economy, people are still finding time to enjoy life and have fun. So far this year, the travel industry has seen a spike in families wanting to travel with their dogs and more companies are having to adapt to this rising trend. Hotels and airlines are doing their part in trying to be more pet-friendly, but did you know that there are actually pet-friendly Amusement Parks?! (We can't stop smiling!). Some popular Theme Parks across the United States offer pet-sitting and kennel care for pets while you and the rest of your two-legged family members enjoy the rides, entertainment, and fun.
The most visited and well-known park Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida has 5 theme parks (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, The Hollywood Studios, & Fort Wildnerness) that will care for dogs, cats, and even hamsters for $15 a day. You'll need to provide food for your pets, but they will care for them and for additional fees they will walk, cuddle, give medicine, and even provide an "ice cream break" for your pet.
In 2009, Walt Disney World is planning to build a one-of-a-kind luxury pet resort which will provide a full range of pet hospitality services, including dog boarding, day care and grooming services, and doggy day camps. Pet guests will be able to enjoy luxury suites with raised beds, televisions and they can participate in activities such as nature walks and playgroups.
We love that theme parks are starting to acknowledge the traveling family who want to share their vacation with their pets and hope to see more companies soon follow in this trend. If nothing else, it gives us dog and pet lovers more options on how to include our furry family members more!
Here are a list of some other popular theme parks with pet-friendly amenitites:

It is great to see more places accepting the presence of pets. Unlike the system in my country, there are many restrictions when bringing my dog out for a walk.

It's good to hear that Universal Studios are letting dogs in. We're going there over the weekend and my niece wanted to bring her dog.
