Hi Rachel! Welcome to planDisney.
Your visit to the Walt Disney World Resort is coming up in just a few days! Woo-hoo! I know you are counting down the minutes at this point. You are going to have an epic summer vacation!
As a military spouse, I would like to thank you for your family's service. Shades of Green is a fantastic resort hotel option for our military members, and the location is positively dreamy. I hope you enjoy the lovely pool, gorgeous grounds, and walk to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort for my favorite treat, the iconic
DOLE Whip. Swoon!
At this time, Guests staying at Shades of Green may not use their
Magic Bands for charging purchases in the Disney World parks and resorts. This privilege is only available for
Guests staying at Disney Resorts Collection hotels. An alternative option is to load money onto a Disney gift card to use for your vacation purchases - there are cute options available in the gift shops that even have wristbands attached, making it even easier!
Rachel, did you know that eligible military members may purchase
Memory Maker at the discounted rate of $98 (price subject to change)? My family just returned from a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, and we took full advantage of this great deal. We have so many fun family photos, including some hilarious attraction photos and Magic Shots, where Disney magic appears in your photos through the wonder of pixie dust!
Thanks for stopping by with your question. If you think of any further questions as you count down, please come back and see us. It's always a pleasure to help a fellow Guest with their Disney dreaming.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
