Can I Use the Disney Dining Plan at Shades of Green?

By Steve 3 Comments

Military-Disney-Tips-FAQ-Friday-I

This post is part of our Frequently Asked Question Series in the Shades of Green FAQ section.

The Shades of Green Resort is an Armed Forces Recreation Center Resort located on Walt Disney World property near Orlando Florida.

Can I Use the Disney Dining Plan at Shades of Green?

No, unfortunately you can not.

While it is located on Walt Disney World property, Shades of Green is not a Disney owned resort, it is owned by the Department of Defense.

Only those staying at Disney owned resorts can take advantage of the Disney Dining Plan as it is added directly to your room bill.

However Shades of Green does offer some packages which include either breakfast or breakfast and dinner for short periods during the year.

They also offer year round packages that include either breakfast or breakfast and dinner, but these are not a very good deals.

You can check out our Shades of Green Discount Packages page for more info on all Shades of Green’s discounts.

If using the Disney Dining Plan is a big factor for your family, perhaps you should consider staying at a Walt Disney World Value or Moderate Resort using the Disney Armed Forces Salute.

The Salute offers eligible military members up to 30% off of the regular Value price and 35% off at the Moderates.

If you are set on staying at Shades of Green, they do sometimes throughout the year offer monthly packages which include 2 Free Adult Breakfasts per day.

Kids under 2 eat for free with an adult at the Garden Gallery Buffet.

    Hello Sir! I received your “Walt Disney World for Military Families” as a Christmas gift. I’m really enjoying the book, thank you for writing it!
    I have a question about Dining reservations. “I’ve read ahead in the book, but couldn’t find what I’m asking”
    I read on a Disney help site that if you stay on property you can make your reservations for your total length of stay, up to 190 days out , vs making them 180 days out and having to call daily to make your reservations. In this instance is Shades of Green considered “on property” for the 190 option?

    Thank you so much.

    ~Jennifer

      Hi Jennifer,

      I’m so glad you are enjoying the book!!!

      Guests staying at Disney owned and operated resorts, which Shades of Green is not, can make their dining reservations 180 days prior to check in for their entire stay (up to the first 10 days of the stay, this is how some people say 190).

      All others such as Shades’ guests must make theirs 180 days prior to the desired date (day by day).

      Hope this clears it up.
