Resort Layout
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 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 the 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.

Which building at Shades of Green would be nearest to the path that leads to the Polynesian Resort?
Steve says
Hi Lisa,
Both wings are off of each side of the lobby. The path originates at the lobby. For the Magnolia Wing it is possible to go around the outside of the building to the path where it passes the Golf Course parking lot. So for there are 3 ways to go.
From the Palm Wing from the elevators through the lobby it is about 555 feet to where the 3 routes all intersect
From the end of the Magnolia Wing through the lobby it is about 650 feet to where the 3 routes all intersect
From the end of the Magnolia Wing through the lobby it is about 760 feet to where the 3 routes all intersect
So not much difference you see. To be closest the key would be to ask for a room as close to the lobby as possible when making your reservation.
