Lulu the beagle shows her Disney Side at the Magic Kingdom

If your dog had a Disney Side, what would it be?
 
Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida hosted a Disney Side Dog's Day at the Magic Kingdom. For the first-time ever, non-service dogs would be able to go to the Magic Kingdom. But you had to submit a photo of your dog, costumed, showing her Disney Side.

As a Disney nerd, I knew I had to get Lulu in. But we didn't have much time to construct a costume for her, so the above picture is what I sent in: me as Peter Pan, Lulu as Tinkerbell.

Lulu and 100 other dogs got selected! (101, get it?)

I got a green Thundershirt for Lulu to wear, since I knew she'd be needing one anyway, and we got up bright and early for a couple of hours at the Magic Kingdom.

We walked the "green carpet" to Cinderella's Castle.

We got to meet some characters. Goofy, Pluto, Bolt, Stitch, Dug and Cruella were out. Lulu's met Pluto before and by this point the overstimulation was getting to her, so we skipped Pluto and Goofy. No Mickey though.

Then we went on a doggy parade to see some of the park. The parade took us into Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square and some of Fantasyland before letting us out through Cinderella's Castle and back on to Main Street.


I got to take a photo with her in front of the Haunted Mansion Pet Cemetery!

Casey's Corner wasn't open, so we couldn't share a hot dog.

We all got treat bags to take home, and some other goodies too.

    1. Dug was probably the best with the nervous dogs. Lulu was just a little uncomfortable.

  3. I read about this and really really wanted to go but since I live in NY, that was not an option. I'm so glad Lulu got picked, and her Tinkerbell costume is adorable! Thanks for sharing the photos!

    1. I'm hoping they open it up to more people and do more of them. And give people more notice.

  4. What a cool event! We saw the message go out about selection and thought it was all crazy-short notice, but looks like it went off without a hitch. So glad you got to participate!

    1. It was crazy short notice! And I had to go to Disney Saturday night, so I had even less time to throw something together. I'm hoping they do it again, because people really loved it!

    1. Lulu wasn't as into it as she could have been. I think it was a lot to take in. But she wasn't the only dog, so that was good.

    1. She did not bark at Cruella, but she clearly wanted nothing to do with her!
