Shades of Green Guests have several transportation options available to them to get to Walt Disney World’s theme parks.
Shades of Green has its own fleet of Buses which transport Shades guests to Disney’s theme parks, water parks, and the Transportation and Ticket Center.
Guests can also walk from Shades of Green to Disney’s Polynesian Resort and catch the Resort Monorail for the Magic Kingdom or to the Transportation and Ticket Center where they can transfer to the Epcot Monorail.
While the walk to the Poly isn’t too bad, about 10 minutes, it can be very hot in the Orlando summer heat.
Guests can cut this walk in half by taking the Shady Shuttle to the edge of Shades of Green’s property.
Just stop by the bellman’s station located outside the lobby front door and ask for a lift in the Shady Shuttle.
The bellhops will drive you to the end of Shades’ driveway, where you can cross the street and follow the path to the Polynesian’s lobby and monorail station.
NOTE: As of October 2021, both golf carts are “broken” and no replacements have yet been received.

How much should I tip the Shady Shuttle each time they take me to the edge of Shades?
I’d do a dollar or two per person, up to 5 dollars Ben.
