Shades of Green is the Military Only Resort located right on Walt Disney World property.

Let’s take a look at what the guest rooms have to offer and look like.

Shades of Green's Standard Guest Rooms

The views from most every room are spectacular. Views throughout the resort are unique and interesting. The lush tropical landscaping provides an incredible backdrop.

Shades of Green's Standard Guest Rooms

Reader Comments:

Room were wonderful. Big and spacious. Great having the separate sink area from toilet/shower area. Balcony and view were top notch! Plenty of usable furniture. Safe was good to have as I brought extra cash!

After staying at other WDW resorts, Shades is our hands-down favorite. The room size is great for our family of 5, and the trundle bed fits everyone in our family more than other trundles at WDW (i.e. Caribbean Beach).

We loved our location by the pool!! Our cleaning lady was super sweet too, I wish I remembered her name room 236

Constantly heard adults and children yelling in the hallway. Several nights children playing in the halls, running and yelling.

Loud kids and teens running the hallways, esp late at night, but you get used to it (they have had a long day at the parks! 🙂 ), We enjoy staying at SOG because of how nice the rooms are.

Need a pull out couch bed for a full size bed

7 SOG visits in 7 yrs! The only Disney Hotel that competes with the SOG is the Yacht and Beach Club at 3 times the price.

Sog is the only place we stay in Orlando even if we don’t do the Disney parks. It’s a beautiful resort and great value. Palm rooms are beautifully redone.

Could hear next door through the connecting door. Rolled-up a towel for blocking base of door – helped a little. Parents need to control their kids.

The walls are pretty thin, so you hear any noise from the hallways or the rooms next door. However, once we were moved into a different room, our stay was very quiet and peaceful. I guess you just have to hope for courteous neighbors!

We never had readily available hot water. We spoke to the front desk several times, and maintenance came twice. We were told first it was fixed… It wasn’t. Then they said to turn on the hot water in the sink and the tub and let them run until it got hot. Took upwards of 15-20 minutes! Then it was Luke warm at best most of the time. Coffee maker never worked, carpet in room felt dirty to the touch, door to the fridge was coming off the hinges.

This room was next to the playground, and a couple of nights unsupervised children playing on playground were very loud. We usually love the area because it is so quiet. however Security did run them off at pool closing time.

It would be nice to have a mirror in a location outside of the bathroom so that someone getting ready in the room would have a way to take a look if the restroom was occupied.

Family Suites

Shades of Green also offers eleven Family Suite combinations. Five Family Suites sleep up to six guests and six Family Suites sleep up to eight guests. Because the number of Family Suites is very limited, these rooms reserve quickly. If interested in making a reservation for a Family Suite, I suggest you do so as soon as you confirm your vacation dates. Guest amenities in the Family Suites include a separate bedroom with King size bed and full-size bath, living area with two queen size sofa beds and additional full bath, dining table with chairs. Some Family Suites feature a fold down Murphy Bed.

    Hi Steve!

    Great post as always :). Good luck with the transition to the new platform, look forward to your posts!

    We are big fans of Shades of Green and try to at least stay once a year.
    I noticed your post noted coin laundry – just wanted to mention, the last time we did laundry at Shades in 2019, it had converted to credit card machines only. I am not recalling how much it costs, but $1.75 still sounds right.

    (As an aside, they also now offering scent-free detergents. Great for those of us that are allergic)

      Thanks so much Leigh,

      Great catch I’ll fix it. My actual laundry post has the latest hardware. 😉

    Am I reading this correctly. You can only buy park tickets from Shades of Green if you stay on property.

      Hi Kim,

      Yes and no, it depends on the ticket…

      The Shades of Green Stars and Stripes Passes are only sold to those staying on property.

      Every other ticket that they sell can be purchased by anyone with proper ID.
