Shades of Green on Walt Disney World Resort Review

Shades of Green, nestled among three of Disney's golf courses near the Magic Kingdom, is open only to folks in the military and their spouses, military retirees and widows, veterans with 100% service-connected disabilities, and Medal of Honor recipients. If you qualify, don't think of staying anywhere else -- it's the best bargain on WDW soil. A $92-million refit in 2004 doubled the room capacity of the resort and added fully ADA-compliant rooms with wide doorways and roll-in showers. In addition to the added rooms and suites (housing up to eight), existing rooms (among the largest in all of Disney, at just over 400 sq. ft.) were completely overhauled. All rooms offer TVs with wireless keyboards (access to the Internet is offered for a fee), balconies or patios, and pool or golf-course views. Transportation -- though slow -- is available to all of the Disney parks and attractions.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; cafe; 2 lounges; babysitting; concierge; health club; 2 heated outdoor pools; kids' pool; 2 lighted tennis courts; WDW Transportation System; transportation to non-Disney parks for a fee

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
