"We arrived at the Shades of Green and I was amazed I could
not wait to go up to my room. We got to the room and it was huge
(480 square feet) We had a great view of the Mickey Mouse Pool.
I loved the room it was spacious, big bathroom,double sink, nice
closet, it was also very clean and felt like home.
The resort had a very nice restraunt with a buffet that we ate breakfast
at every morning. It was a great restraunt and had awsome food.
Overall the resort was great. It is catagorized as a Disney Deluxe
Resort. If I were to give this resort a rating out of 10 being the
best it would be a 10. I loved this resort. I believe it is a 4
star resort. The pools are awsome." (12/01) Jack
"I visited the Shades of Green From 1-1-01 till 1-5-01. I
have only stayed in one other Disney hotel the Wilderness Lodge.
Unfortunately I noticed a difference.
SOG is laid out much the same as Wilderness lodge with a Y shape.
The Mickey shaped pool and a wading pool is in the U part there
is a square pool near the left hand front of the building that also
have a hot tub near it. The Rooms are Much more spacious than the
WL The room size is a nice perk. The Tv has an internet option on
it i did not use this service. Be warned the Tv only has coax on
it no RCA jacks to view Videos or pictures (bring a converter).
The beds are Queens size and there is a sleeper sofa . The bathroom
has two sinks. The room has a safe, and Iron/ iron board, a coffee
machine with coffee supplies refilled everyday, and a hairdryer.
Room Service was great and fast. Pizza can be ordered but no delivery
you have to go down to the bar to get it both are easily billed
to the room. The full service restaurant is nice. It is not themed
but it is inexpensive! There is a cart outside where the buses come
that has lots of snacks , drinks, ect. The lady there is a peach
:) The 2 buses : One to the TTC and one to the Animal Kingdom/Blizzard
beach. It was pretty annoying going to the TTC every time but at
least it only a 4-7 min ride. the lobby is small and there is a
shop right there at the lobby.
What I did not like.... I missed the Disney feeling / themeing.
Don't get me wrong the Cast members at SOG treat you as nice as
any Disney CM; However this resort has no theme. It is kind of regular
Joe. I missed the Disney channels (closed circuit or not). I missed
the Disney soap and lotion. I missed the Mickey mouse wake up call.
There is no Valet parking.
I highly recommend this resort mostly for the price per location
and size of room. Do not expect 100% pixie dust as at the WL more
like 70%.....from the room balcony I could hear the howling form
the haunted mansion, and the train both at the Magic kingdom and
the room was in the back farthest away from the park." (1/01)
