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.
Does Shades of Green Participate In Disney World’s Magic Band Program?
No, Shades of Green is not a Disney owned resort, rather it is a DoD facility.
What does this mean for you?
Unlike Disney Resort Guests, Shades Guests are not given the opportunity to purchase discounted Magic Bands as part of their reservation. Those who desire to use them on their trip will need to purchase them ahead from the Disney Store online of once they arrive on vacation.
Buying your Magic Bands
As mentioned above, you may buy your own Magic Bands for 12.95 plus tax. You may do so from most Disney World gift shops once you arrive or ahead of time online from the Disney Store.
What can you use your purchased bands for?
First you must link them to your My Disney Experience account. Then you can:
- Use the Band as your Park Ticket (if you’ve linked your ticket to My Disney Experience)
- Use your Band for your Disney Genie+ reservations
What you can’t do with your purchased Magic Bands:
- Charge Disney World purchases to your Shades of Green room
- Use your Band as your room key

If we will have the tickets 30 days in advance and link tickets and get fast passes, how do we get magic bands linked? Do we buy them or does Disney give us them?
Hi there,
When staying at Shades you need to buy your own Magic Bands if you want to use them.
You can do so ahead of time from the Disney Store, use the link in this post (the pic of the hands w/ magic bands). Then link them using your My Disney Experience.
Or buy them after arrival from any Disney merch store. Then link them using your My Disney Experience or as a DIsney Guest Services location to do it for you.
