Hey there, hi there, Brad! Welcome to
planDisney!
We have stayed often at
Shades of Green, the Armed Forces Recreation Center resort located at
Walt Disney World. It's a lovely resort, and you get many of the benefits of being a Walt Disney World resort guest. You'll be able to take advantage of
Early Entry in the mornings, and the
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours. Another huge perk is being able to make your dining reservations
60 days in advance, for up to 10 days of your vacation. That might help you score some hard to get
dining experiences.
You should be able to link your reservation in your
My Disney Experience app using the reservation confirmation number. On your phone, click
My Future Plans, then scroll down to where you see the
Missing a Reservation message. There should be a
Link to Account button right there. Once you hit that, you'll see a menu that offers the option to Link Hotel. That's the one you need.
The next screen prompts you to enter your reservation confirmation number, as well as the last name of the guest listed on the reservation. You may want to verify with your sponsoring family whether the reservation is in their name or yours so you can successfully link the reservation.
You can purchase
theme park passes with the
Disney Genie+ service already attached, although the March 2023 calendar hasn't opened up just yet. When it does, don't forget to book your
theme park reservation once you have your tickets.
I hope I've helped with your planning, Brad!
