Shades of Green - Walt Disney World - Orlando, FL Review

What a wonderful place to stay!  This was recommended to me by a friend.  I took my mother there to visit WDW for a week during our spring breaks.  We woke up in the morning to singing birds and quacking ducks.  The view was beautiful as Shades of Green is located in between two golf courses.  Transportation to the TTC was by shuttle bus that ran on a timely manner.  The staff was very helpful and friendly.  The rooms were spacious and comfortable.  It was cold outside, but I still took a wee dip in the heated swimming pool in the shape of Mickey's head.  The bar and grill has great food and reasonably priced.

 Our first night there, we saw the fireworks in the distance at Magic Kingdom from our balcony.  Fortunately, there was a family underneath our balcony, and the child was giving the running commentary of who came out when.  It was great.

Shades of Green is only available to military members (active, reserve and retired) and their dependants and government employees.  If thinking of staying here, be ready to put in a reservation a year out.  You may have to get on the waiting list, but this place is SO worth it.  I talked about it so much, my husband made reservations for us to stay for our honeymoon.  We stayed 10 days!!!

Oh, their gift shop is tax free and has things in there that you cannot seem to find in the park. 

 I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!
