The Military Star card can be used for your room charges, purchases in the AAFES Store, at the Shades of Green Ticket Office for purchasing tickets for Disney and Orlando attractions through Shades of Green, and for special events and weddings as well.
Note (Oct 2018): I’ve had reports that there are issues with the Shades Restaurants not accepting the Star Card.
This is a huge development for those who have (or will get) the Star Card. Being able to put your Disney tickets on the card and also your room to if staying at Shades of Green is awesome!

Can the Military Star card be used at the different Shades of Green’s restaurants?
Yes, resort wide as far as I know.
Thanks! I didn’t even know about the Military Star card until I read about it on your site. I got one and saved $102 on the price of our park tickets!
You bet, Awesome!
No. All the restaurants at the Shades of Green no longer accept the Military Star Card for payment. I was there for a week starting September 2, 2018. I was told by SOG reservations when I booked in May 2018 that the card could be used in all restaurants. The change happened some time after that. The restaurants told me they changed their billing systems and could no longer accept the card. So, if like me, you were planning to charge your families restaurant charges on your card, be prepared to pay with another credit card, debit card or cash.
At at the Garden Gallery tonight. Specifically asked before being seated if they accepted the Military Star card. We were told they did. They don’t. Server said they haven’t accepted it in years, and the host should have known better than to tell us that they did. I wouldn’t have eaten there had I known that. I didn’t want to pay with my bank debit/credit card, but that’s all I had on me besides the Military Star card.
Thanks for the report Peggy
Can you use it in the exchange then?
Yes absolutely.
Thank you
Can the Star card still be used to purchase park tickets thru Shades of Green?
Yes it sure can Ryan
I see plenty of conflicting information. Can you.use STAR card to book the rooms? I booked the Beach Club through gov vactions then went to book SOG and it said invalid card.
Try calling to book Adina.

My Husband and I are going to WDW at the end of January. We are staying at SOG for the first time and we are planning on paying for our room with the Military Star Card. Can we also link this card to our room for resort charges and to our Magic Bands for in park purchases?
Hi Landry,
You can make charges to your room at Shades of Green locations and pay your bill with the Star Card.
Magic Band purchases are only for those staying at a Disney Resort.
I’m confused which star card you can pay your hotel fees with. I have a generic aafes star card, I know there is another one out there that is more a credit card you can use pretty much everywhere Mastercard is excepted. I’m guessing they don’t except the OG
Hi Stacy,
I totally didn’t know there were 2 kinds. I’ve never got one.
But it’s the standard card.
