Last January Shades of Green, the Military Resort on Walt Disney World property opened it’s doors to those who severed but didn’t stay in the military and retire.
Shades allowed these Vets to stay in the exclusive military only resort during January 2011.
Now the “Salute to Our Veterans” Program continues and Shades of Green is again accepting reservations from non-retired US military veterans for stays in September and January.
Vets are eligible for the same discounted room rates that current and retired military members pay, as well as military discounted theme park tickets.
Eligibility Requirements are: Those who served in the military for less than 20 years and received an honorable discharge are eligible to stay at Shades of Green during the months of January and September only. Proof of honorable discharge (DD-214) is required.
You may obtain a copy of your DD-214 by clicking here.
