Hey there, Bonnie! Welcome to this happy place, and thanks so much for your question.
There are a lot of moving parts to planning a
Walt Disney World vacation, and you've hit on my favorite - food! There are a few perks available to guests staying at a
Disney Resorts Collection hotel, but one perk that is extended to guests staying at
Shades of Green - 60+10 dining reservations. You'll be able to make your dining reservations - including a dinner show - beginning
60 days before your arrival date, but as an added bonus, you can make them for up to 10 days of your vacation!Dining reservations can be made right on the Walt Disney World website by clicking the Things to Do tab across the top of the page, then clicking the Make Reservations button on the drop-down menu. For the most part, the restaurants are listed alphabetically, but you can also filter for the type of dining you want. You can make reservations for the
Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue via the website. Unfortunately, Bonnie, the luau is not currently offered.
You can also purchase
theme park tickets online by clicking the Parks and Tickets tab. You'll want to purchase those in advance, because you will need a
theme park reservation along with your ticket to go into a park. If your family is eligible for the
Military Salute Tickets, you'll have to get those either on base or through the
Shades of Green ticket office. You'll submit a ticket request form in advance to Shades of Green, and they will mail the tickets to you.
Happy planning, Bonnie!
