Wellness
Make sure to schedule an off day from the parks to relax by the pools. Shades of Green has two active pools to enjoy all the water play you can handle.

History
Shades of Green originally opened as a Disney-owned resort known as the Golf Resort in December 1973 with 151 rooms. The Golf Resort was located in the middle of the Palm and Magnolia golf courses. The resort was built of wood and volcanic rock in the style of a country club. The core building of the resort was opened in 1971 as a two-story clubhouse for the golf courses and did not actually have guest rooms.
