At 455 square feet each, the 586 guest rooms at Shades of Green are larger than those at the Grand Floridian.
While the rooms are certainly large, nicely appointed, and immaculately maintained - not to mention a great value for those who qualify to stay here - they are indistinguishable from the rooms at any number of decent midpriced hotels; there's no discernible theming or wow factor.
Restaurants include Mangino’s, an Italian eatery; the Garden Gallery buffet; two quick-service options; and a sports bar and grill.
Amenities
SWIPE TO EXPLORE
The Iconic Mill Pool has a children's splash area and three-level play zone with waterslide The Magnolia Pool might be a little more active, with water polo and volleyball available.
There's an arcade next to Evergreens near the Mill Pond Pool. It features relatively recent video games of all kinds.
The Ship Shape Fitness Center has weights, treadmills, and other equipment for your workout. Hours are typically 6 AM to 9 PM. Joggers will enjoy the 0.8-mile loop around Crescent Lake too.
Shades of Green has a nice children's playground next to the Mill Pond Pool, with cushioned landscaping, picnic benches, and lots of shade.
Shades of Green resort guests get into each theme park 30 minutes earlier than off-site guests, every day.

All other parks can be reached by bus, though it's probably faster to drive.
All Walt Disney World destinations can be reached by Shades of Green's bus service. It's probably faster to drive everywhere except the Magic Kingdom.
Except for the Magic Kingdom, it's probably faster to drive to your destination than take a bus.
The Magic Kingdom is accessible via walking path - you'll cross Floridian Way, then walk through the grounds of the Polynesian and Grand Floridian.
You can take the monorail from the Poly or Grand Flo to save some walking. The monorail will take you to the Magic Kingdom, TTC, and EPCOT.
The easiest way to get to the Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower is by taking the resort monorail from the Polynesian or Grand Floridian, which are walking distance from Shades of Green. For all other hotels, it's faster to drive or use Uber/Lyft/taxis than to rely on Disney's bus service. If you must use Disney's bus service and the Magic Kingdom is open, it's probably fastest to walk to the Magic Kingdom bus station and take the bus going to the resort you're headed.
if you have a car, the easiest way to get to Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and other tourist destinations is to drive. Alternatively, Mears Transportation operates shuttle services between the Disney hotels and other theme parks.
