Shades of Green Guests Eligible for 60-Day FastPass+

I’m getting reports from the field that Shades of Green Guests have successfully linked their Shades reservation number to their My Disney Experience Account, thus making them eligible to make their FastPass Plus reservations 60 days prior to check in.

(Updated 12/31)

This has now been confirmed by Shades of Green and Disney.

I have been contacted by very many of those who have done this.

It has been news on the web for a few weeks that Disney would be extending this ability to other resorts on property.

This is a huge change for the military community, which bumps Shades of Green up in priority for their accommodations decision.

How to do this

Please see our WDW technology overview for all of our FastPass related posts. When reading all of the linked material please understand that any references to Shades of Green and the 30-Day FastPass+ window are now obsolete. Understand that Shades’ Guests are now considered Disney Resort Guests!

There are a huge amount of pages and posts that I need to edit, and I’m TDY with a full schedule, in a time zone that puts me at odds with a normal schedule. I will get to them as I am able, most likely this weekend.

Reports also seem to suggest that because this is new program (as with all software) there are issues…

• Linking with your computer works fine
• Linking via the phone app does not
• Linking vis calling in to to tech support does not
• It seems to take from 24 to 48 hours after making your SOG reservation to be able to link your reservation to MDE

(Reports indicate that the bugs have been worked out!)

Dining Reservations Also

Now reports are also surfacing that Shades of Green Guests are also eligible for WDW’s 180 Day plus 10 Dining Reservations.

This means that you can now make your Advance Dining Reservations 180 days prior to check in for up to 10 days of your trip. Previously Shades Guests could only make them 180 days out from the desired date like all other non-Disney guests.

Please note: Free magic Bands are not a part of this program! If you would like to use Magic Bands you’ll need to buy your own. Also this does not add other Disney Resort only benefits such as free theme park parking or the ability to add the Disney Dinning Plan to your Shades reservation.

Note: that Dave at Your First Visit is reporting that starting 1 January 2018 the Disney Springs Resort Area Resorts will Extended Evening Hours and then on 10 January they will also get 60-Day FastPass Plus.

Your 60-Day FastPass Window

For those who stay at Shades exclusively and might not be familiar with how the 60-Day Window works, check out our post on how it is different:
