I wonder what would be harder on a pet, being boarded for a week, or flying to and from Disney to be boarded in luxury for a week?

I don't think most people would Fly a dog to FLA and Then put them in a kennel for a week. I think this is a place more for the dog to stay during the hours the family is actually IN Disney.

$76 for all that since it includes a bath is very reasonable. A regular boarder costs about $20 a day and a regular bath is at least $30 so there is $50 of it right there w/out all the other special treatment. I would leave my dog there!
