Hi Penelope!
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question - I'm happy to help. Your stay at
Shades of Green sounds like a magical getaway for you and your lovely ladies!
The resort is more than just a place to stay, as it’s exclusive to active-duty and retired military personnel, veterans, and certain other categories of civilians and their families. Shades of Green celebrates the service and sacrifice of those who have dedicated their lives to protecting our nation, with various touches such as the display of flags and occasional events or services that honor the Armed Forces. As the daughter of a veteran, I am thankful for a place like this where families can relax, recharge, and enjoy the magic of Disney in an environment that honors their service.
I’m happy to let you know that Shades of Green does indeed provide complimentary bathroom amenities, including body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and hand soap. That means you can save a little extra space in your suitcase – for souvenirs!
As for room upgrades, it never hurts to ask! You can certainly request an upgrade to a
poolside room with a patio, perfect for those cozy nighttime readings, card games, and splashes in the pool (that sounds like Heaven on earth). I recommend
calling ahead or asking at check-in to see if such a room is available. Any upgrades would have to be based on availability and occupancy. My fingers are crossed that you’ll get a sprinkle of pixie dust and the perfect room for your vacation.
May your stay be filled with magical memories, and remember, “To all who come to this happy place: Welcome!”
