Shades of Green Resort Discounts Specials and Packages

2 May 2026 by Steve Bell 7 Comments

Shades of Green at Walt Disney World offers some Discounts and Packages during slow periods.

On this page, you’ll find all of the current Military Discounts that are available from Shades of Green.

In recent years, these discounts have diverged from their original large discounts of up to 40% and have settled at 1-% to 15% off rooms. Room and meal packages that were offered in the past have also disappeared.

The room-only discounts are a great complement to the Disney Armed Forces Salute Ticket Discount.

Shades of Green offers varied short-term discounts to fill their rooms as needed. Some of the recent discounts have been for small blocks of days rather than long periods, and they’ve been discontinued as soon as the time frame they are trying to fill is full.

Shades of Green’s Discounts

Shades of Green is currently only offering short-term discounts for short periods of days during a month. their old long-term permanent discounts that ran continuously are no more.

Note: Something to be aware of is that Shades of Green constantly changes the dates and amount of discounts offered on their specials and packages. They will make the initial announcement, and then as rooms begin to fill up, they will reduce the available dates and/or the amount of the savings. I’ve seen month-long specials at 40% off be reduced to a smattering of days at 20% off. I do try to keep up with this, but they make no announcements of changes, so I have to discover changes as they come out.

Shades of Green is the final authority on the discounts they are currently offering!

If they tell you there is no discount available, then there isn’t. Do not say, “But I saw it on Military Disney Tips,” and demand it. I just might not have seen their change yet. If you do encounter this, please let me know if the discount has changed!

Shades of Green’s Short-Term Discounts

Shades of Green used to offer long-term discounts (they were offered all year, permanently). These were discontinued after reopening from the 2020 shutdown. So all discounts are now the short-term ones.

New for 2026 – Shades of Green has started offering 2 different discounts for the same or overlapping time periods, one discount of the room only and the other for the room and breakfast. They briefly experimented with this in September 2025, and now it’s back in 2026 in April, May, and August.

If you are interested in these dates, act fast, because Shades does modify their discounts (not for the better) the longer they’ve been available. Those who book early will get the best discount! You will see the changes below indicated by the crossed-out percentages and dates.
