Looking for the Shades of Green map? This guide shows the full resort layout with wings, pools, dining, and transportation to help you navigate with ease.

Here Is Shades of Green’s Map

Finding your way around Shades of Green is easy with the resort map. This layout highlights the Magnolia and Palm wings, pools, dining, bus stops, and other key amenities so you can plan your stay and get where you need to go quickly.

Main Building

The central main area is where you will find the lobby and front desk, most of the restaurants, the ticket sales office, fitness center, conference rooms, and bus transportation.

The Magnolia Wing

The Magnolia Wing has guest rooms on three floors, both of the resort’s pools, and the Magnolia Spa. This wing, along with the main area, comprises the original extent of Shades of Green before its 2002 expansion. All poolside rooms are in this wing; all other views in this wing are either of the golf course or Shades of Green’s grounds.

If being near the pools is important to you, this is your wing!

The Palm Wing

The Palm Wing contains guest rooms on five floors and the parking garage. Views here are of the golf course and the Shades of Green grounds. Shades of Green has no parking lot or dumpster views, while the Disney resorts do.

If having a room much closer to where you park your car at the end of a long day is more important to you, this is your wing!

Both wings have their own guest laundry facility.

With the bus stop located near the lobby, both guest wings have rooms that are closer to the bus stop and some that are much further.
