All room discounts have been removed from Shades of Green’s website.
Shades of Green re-opened after the lock-down closure on 12 August. Upon re-opening, all previously announced discounts were cancelled for August 2020 through January 2021.
This includes:
- The various monthly discounts
- The Armed Forces Recreation Centers – Survivors’ Family Program
- The Red White and Blue Package
- The Sunrise Package
Discounts on Shades of Green’s rooms are a “relatively new” occurrence in the history of the resort. Prior to 2009 rooms were never discounted, but when Disney started offering the Disney Armed Forces Salute Room discounts in 2009, Shades of Green started offering discounts as well.
The discounts offered by Shades of Green have been decreasing precipitously over the last few years. Discounts were down to 10% to 15% off prior to the closure, down from highs of 60% a decade ago.
It remains to be seen if and when these discounts will come back.
Still advertised on the site are:
- Salute to our Veterans – September and January Only
- Disabled Veterans Equal Access Act

We have 3 rooms booked the end of October with the Sunrise Package. We’ve gotten differing answers when we’ve called about what will happen to our package which we paid extra for. Rumors say the. Real fast buffet will be available by the time we arrive. What have you heard before I have to call and speak to a foreign woman?
HI Kathy ,
I haven’t heard anything from Shades other than they have re-opened to light bookings. I did ask them if they wanted me to share their temp procedures for all this but didn’t get a n answer yet.
I will be there in a week and will be sharing what I discover over the week or so after.
