Red Lion Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista South is a pet-friendly Kissimmee hotel that welcomes domestic critters. Despite being just 14 minutes from Disney’s Animal Kingdom here, you won’t find guests with giraffes in the parking lot or families with flamingos at the pool. You will, however, be perfectly content with your dog in the double queen room with a view of the lazy river.

2. Maingate Lakeside Resort, for fast food aplenty

Maingate Lakeside Resort is on a mission to ensure your pet doesn’t miss out on your family theme park vacation. They’ve added a special Pooch Park to the resort where your dog can run wild. You’ll be able to go a little wild yourself if you let a cab shuttle you to and from EPCOT (the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) for a day of drinking around the world. When you return hiccuping, brimming with the mouse’s magic, you’ll be happy to see how many fast-food joints are on hand here.

3. Ramada by Wyndham Kissimmee Gateway, for Toy Story Land

Whether they’re splashing in the pool, laughing in the games room or playing a round of minigolf, your kids will have a blast at the Ramada by Wyndham – and that’s without ever leaving the property. They’ll be thrilled that you can bring your hound, too. Pick up Woody, Buzz and Slinky costumes from Toy Story Land and be prepared for them to spend hours shouting “To infinity and beyond!” as they bounce between the beds.

5. Staybridge Suites, for swimming heaven

Staybridge Suites makes it effortless for you to relax with the whole family, pets included. Don’t even think about unpacking until you’ve all had a beer (or root beer for the kids) and snacks at the manager’s social. The pool offers fun for adults and children alike, with individual splash zones for each. Add in free breakfasts and shuttle service to the theme parks and the only chore you’ll have all week is taking Lassie out for a walk.
