December in Orlando is chaos in the best possible way.

Holiday travel. Theme park vacations. Christmas parties. ICE! at Gaylord Palms. New Year’s Eve events. Family visiting from out of town. Last-minute travel plans.

And while Orlando fills up with tourists and holiday traffic, dog owners all ask the same thing:
