Pets
Yes, Grasshopper Lodge is pet friendly. We do request that you tell us something about the pet you intend to bring with you – how many, what kind, size, behavior. Dogs absolutely love it at the Lodge. We do expect you to manage your pet, clean up after it, and be responsible for its behavior. You should not leave your pet alone at the lodge while you are gone for any significant amount of time – dinner out, yes; all day at Disney, no. Also, bear in mind (pun intended) that you will be staying in a wildlife preserve, so it’s not a good idea to let your pet roam. In particular, be aware that as with all wild lakes in Florida, there are alligators in Grasshopper Lake, so keep your pet away from the water there.
In spring, summer, and fall (which is most of the year at Grasshopper!), there are ticks that will be glad to hitch a ride on your doggie. Be prepared to check your dog for ticks regularly, and to remove the ticks you find. Also, visit your local pet supplies store and bring some tick repellent for your dog with you.
