Hello, Betty, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel!
Shades of Green is my family’s home-away-from-home when we’re at
Walt Disney World Resort, so I’m happy to answer this question for you.
While complimentary
MagicBands are not included with your Shades of Green stay, you can still purchase them (through
shopDisney.com or any of the shops at Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks, Water Parks, hotels or Disney Springs) and link your tickets (including the
Military Promotional Tickets) to them. My family really enjoys the convenience of having our Park tickets and
FastPass+ reservations linked to our MagicBands, and with our
Memory Maker, our MagicBands also allow us to receive “extra” photos and videos for attractions such as
Slinky Dog Dash at
Disney’s Hollywood Studios and
Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at
Magic Kingdom Park.
You won’t be able to charge purchases to your room or have access to a
Disney Dining Plan as a Shades of Green Guest, but you do qualify for
Extra Magic Hours and you’re also able to
book your FastPass+ experiences up to 60 days in advance when you link your Shades of Green reservation to your
My Disney Experience account. And although you won’t have complimentary access to and from the airport via
Disney’s Magical Express as a Shades of Green Guest, you will be able to use Shades of Green’s dedicated fleet of buses for complimentary transportation to and from each of the Theme Parks, Water Parks and Disney Springs.
Please let us know if there are any other questions we can answer for you, Betty! We’re always happy to help.
Amy
