Money Grab pure & simple. Since I don't see a cap on the fee, it will cost a guest $350 - $425 for a weeks vacation to bring a dog and probably cost Disney $25-$30 at most for what is being provided and the additional cleaning cost. That's a nice chunk of change in pure profit if even only a few hundred nights worth of reservations per year are made for these "dog friendly" rooms.
Between these resorts, there are approximately 5,000 guest rooms. If 10% of them are available for this purpose and only 20% of those rooms are occupied at any given time year round by pet owners, that's over $1.8 million in fees. Take out overhead and it would be at least $1.5 million in pure profit. From a company standpoint, that's easy money.
That being said, as a guest, I don't like it.
