I met a service dog yesterday at an Army Band Concert. It was a very vigorous exercise of the drum and horn section for over two hours and the dog was very still and quiet the entire time while sitting behind my seat. After the concert, my friends and I got to talk to the handler and meet the dog. It was a great experience for us all.
Sandy Lewis Wow! That's awesome! I am so glad you had such a wonderful experience and the service dog was so well behaved! Thank you for sharing your story!!!
I have a question. When you took Annabelle on the rides at Disneyland. Did you have to get a handicap pass for the rides or did you wait in the regular lines?
Laura The Doggie Diva I have never taken my dog to Disney, but I always get a handicapped pass, even in my wheelchair because I am heat intolerant and with or without a service dog, you can rest with him or her while you wait for your return time. It really makes your visit much more chill. I get to sit in a/c while I wait to ride instead in line
@@LauraTheDoggieDiva would someone with POTS be able to get a handicapp ride? What is the process of getting a handicapp line pass? And would u be able to bring the person ur with? Basically pots is an intolerance to the upright position especially standing and if u stand for long periods of time it can cause u to faint I have my service dog in order to help me avoid triggers and let me know when to sit tf down so I don't faint or anything
They also have carts to put your dog in when you go on more difficult rides and they have dog swap...your party rides while you wait in a room and then you swap with another in your party and you ride.
@@beap.r.o.9230 If you are at a ride where dogs are welcome to ride, you will have to use rider swap if you don't want your service dog to ride with your party. If you are at a ride where the service dog is not allowed to ride, they all have crates in either shaded or air conditioned areas where a cast member will stay with them.
It really depends. Can a smaller breed do what you need it to do? If so, are you able to carry the dog throughout the trip if it gets tired? Disney is big. You're often walking 5-15 miles per day, depending on whereall you're going and how you plan. That is way too much for most small breeds. Smaller breeds are easier to fit in small ride areas, easier to hold on to, and easier to maneuver with. It just really, really depends on what you need and what you're able to do.
Laura The Doggie Diva I'm fixing to go to Disneyland with Snow my service dog. She's never been in a park like that. I've never been to Disneyland either so a first for both of us.
BlueEyeDIY There are crates at most rides and you put your service dog in there and they give you a thing that says it's your dog. When you get off the ride, you show it to the cast member that is watching over your dog.
@@LauraTheDoggieDiva omg ty!!! I've been wondering about this because I would like to be able to ride rides with people but also carrying a crate or something around Disney would be a total pain x.x

Maricella Harris Regular lines. They are very strict about handicapped passes.

What if u want to be able to ride with ur party? Can u crate them at all? Are there any options for that?
Can u crate ur dog when u want to go on intense ride to ride with ur party? Do they have options to be able to do that?

Could you make a list of recommended rides and somewhat ok.., and not recommended..etc.?
Would any of this be harder or easier with a small breed?
It really depends.

What should I bring to an amusement park with my service dog?
Majestic Wolf Girls I did a whole video on what to bring to Disneyland which could also go for an amusement park.
