Because Shades of Green is not owned and operated by Disney, its guests don’t have all of the same amenities available that regular park owned restart guests have. Resort guests are not eligible for the Disney Dining Plan, and the resort does not participate in the Magical Express program which transfers guests and luggage directly to the Disney resort from Orlando International Airport, skipping baggage claim. The resort is not on the disney monorail route, and Disney does not provide transportation. Shades of Green provides their own buses for the resort.  

Shades of Green is considered a Disney-owned resort for purposes of Extra Magic Hours/Early Entry Hour at the theme parks. Eligible guests may purchase discounted admission tickets for the Walt Disney World Resort parks and other Orlando-area parks and activities at the Shades of Green Attraction and Ticket Sales Office which is located on the lobby level.
