This beautiful, calm resort has the amenities of a deluxe resort with bigger rooms than most places on DW. It has it's own busses and is a short walk from the DW ITT and The Poly with all of its transportation, food and drinks! Shades is a gem.
Pros:
huge rooms, beautiful, parking garage and practically a Monorail resort.Cons:
fewer hidden Mickeys... I guess that's a con and the only con I can think of.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 06/02/2021

10 mins into this stay...pissed!
Pros:
NoneCons:
If you order from the same restaurant, but your children want food off the To-go menu, then your family can\\'t eat together! For over a $100 meal, we should all be able to eat together! This is a stupid rule and should be done away woth!Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 05/08/2021

I would only recommend Shades if green if you are wanting a cheap place to stay on property.
Pros:
Cheap rooms on propertyCons:
Rude and incompetent staff. They are unable to answer basic questions. The property is showing its age. Loud. Nothing is clearly marked.Reviewed by James Review Date: 05/02/2021

We have stayed here over 10 times. Very few complaints. Biggest standard rooms on property.
Pros:
Great location. No matter what people say the bus system they have is outstanding! It only serves SOG. Plenty of dining options. Golf next door, it has a NEX. Discounted tickets and rooms. Based on your rank. Low cost to park on site.Cons:
Sometimes people get loud but that is just like every other place you go.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 03/21/2021

We just got back from SOG...probably the 5th or 6th time we've stayed there over the past decade. We've never had a bad room or a bad experience. During the ever-changing COVID protocols, here's what you can expect..
No housekeeping. You have to call for clean towels and other stuff. The Galley is not open...only the pool bar and Manginos. Masks at all times except if you're on pool furniture, eating or in the water. Exchange and coffee shop are running regular hours. Busses tend to run every 30 minutes and they pack them full. That said, for the price and comfort, it's the best deal going. We've stayed at several resorts and the only plus to that is more transportation options. Additionally, the guests at SOG are generally more polite and better behaved.

We have stayed there 3 * total on trips to Disney. When you ask a question about the theme park or transportation to it and back in times, they could not give answers the hallway smell like barf out beer. My daughter only had a couple grapes and a piece of fruit and they charged her full price of 14 something for breakfast I believe what's the price. And I got charged twice for my vehicle being there part at their facility when I had already paid upfront they charged me on the way out at the machine before they would let me out. When I called them they wanted me to verify it and I asked them can't they do it because I was almost back home over 200 miles away. It took this long just to get through their phone and to get an answer from them on the trip back. I find trying to communicate them is pour at best. That Society feels this is the best we deserve as veterans more active duty military members
Pros:
You're with like-minded military individualsCons:

I am a US AF veteran. I heard you can buy tickets at Shades of Green but I don't have an ID Card. I asked if they will allow my DD214 and VA disability paper showing I have a service connected disability. I even have a VA medical card but they said no. They only allow you to come in person twice a year to purchase tickets with your DD214. Well thats great but I dont live in FL. How can I come to FL to buy tickets in person if I dont live there. There has to be a better way.
Pros:
A discount is available for ticketsCons:
You can only get tickets with a DD214 in person in FL twice a year in Jan and Sept.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 01/05/2019

I had made reservations almost a year ago and shades of green had changed my dates without permission or notice. Definitely not a reliable place and I have heard plenty of people having issues with this resort. They will have my business ever.
