pampering services ranging from ice cream treats to bedtime stories. The
state-of-the-art facility will be located on Bonnett Creek Parkway in the
Walt Disney World Resort, and is expected to open in mid-2009.

In anticipation of opening the new facility, Best Friends will assume
operating responsibility for the five existing pet boarding facilities in

Resort and provide both daytime and overnight boarding.

"We are thrilled to have this opportunity to come to Walt Disney World
Resort to create the premier vacation destination for pets," said Dennis
Dolan, president and CEO of Best Friends Pet Care. "This project is still
in the design phase, but our goal is to create a true resort destination
for pets. This facility will be designed to fit into the Walt Disney World
Resort vacation experience and will be unlike anything else in the
industry.

"We are also fortunate to be taking over operation of the existing
boarding kennels in January," he added. "It will allow us to get to know
the pets and pet parents who already use the Walt Disney World kennels, so
we can be sure our new facility will meet their needs."

"We are very pleased to have Best Friends working with us on this
project," said Kenneth Janik, regional manager, Walt Disney World Operating
Participants. "Best Friends is well-respected both for the quality of care
they provide, and for their innovative pet amenities and hospitality
services. We know they will deliver a unique experience for the family pets
of our guests and employees that is both fun and consistent with the Disney
approach."

Best Friends is a leading provider of pet hospitality in the United
States, with 44 locations in 18 states. The company introduced the concept
of a "pet resort" to the industry in 1996 and has been responsible for
popularizing such services and care options as luxury suites and doggy day
