How is Shades of Green? I've only visited there a long time ago and can only vaguely remember it

Shades of Green is for military, active and retired. Rooms are like suites and room charge is based on rank structure. I pay $93 a night, with no tax. The hotel has a Starbucks, first on Disney property since 2007-08, has a military mini shoppette where you can even purchase wine and beer and assorted liquors. It has a free computer room with a handful of the latest video games, courtesy from Ratheon.

The resort has the only parking garage on Disney property and it costs $5 a night to park. Shades has a nice sit down Italian restaurant called Manginos, an ice cream shop, a quick service counter, a casual restaurant, and a sports bar near the pool called Evergreens.

I knew it was the military resort. It doesn't sound like that bad of a resort. Maybe I should look into it for future trips!

I really wanted to rent points to book a villa, but DH doesn't want me booking anything yet. I would assume you'll be doing a TR when you return :D so hopefully that will help me make a resort decision. Have an awesome trip!!!:happy:

That is if you are military, retired military, or stay with someone who is. Shades of Green is a very nice resort. It has its charm but it is not overly Disney. It has a few Disney touches, but it looks and feels like an Air Force Inn.
