A great benefit to staying at Shades of Green is the complimentary bus transportation to the Walt Disney World Theme Parks and to the Transportation and Ticket Center.
The bus loading area conveniently located in the front of the resort on the lower level.
In order to get to the bus stop you need exit the hotel lobby through the front doors.
As you exit you’ll see a large central area with a stairway leading down through a beautiful rocky waterfall area. the stairs are to the right as you exit the lobby. If you would like to use the elevator rather than the stairs it’s located on the left wall when exiting the lobby.
At the bottom of the stairs is the entrance to the Express Cafe, a great place to grab a quick breakfast or lunch on the way to the theme parks. Also at the bottom of the stairs to the left is an ATM machine.
In order to get to the bus stop walk straight through the Express Cafe. The bus stop is just out the opposite door.
Looking up the stairwell from the lower level
