Shades of Green, a third-party resort at Walt Disney World, will be closing soon due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic concerns. While they didn’t give an exact date for closing, they said they will be working with each individual guest to head home as soon as they can make the necessary travel arrangements.
Perhaps the most notable piece of news from the statement is that the resort will continue to accept reservations for new arrivals after May 15th. While Disney remains silent about extending their announced park closures past March 31st, Shades of Green has seemingly indicated that they plan on being closed through mid-May. Here is their full statement:
Shades of Green will temporarily close in response to the Coronavirus
The safety of our guests and staff is our primary concern at AFRC Resorts. Shades of Green will temporarily close to ensure the health and well-being of service members and their families during the COVID-19 crisis. Despite our best efforts to serve guests through this situation, it is now apparent that this crisis requires collective action to slow its progression in the United States. Guests will be asked to return to their home station as soon as they can make the necessary travel arrangements. We are waiving any cancellation or early departure fees for reservations during this time.
There have been no reported cases of COVID-19 at Shades of Green Resort.
Shades of Green will continue to accept reservations for new arrivals after May 15th. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and will make a determination to reopen in coordination with our partners at Disney World Resorts when it is safe for our guests and staff.
We will continue to support our staff and military community the best we can during this temporary closure. If you have questions regarding your reservation, please email us at [email protected]
We encourage all of our military guests to limit their travel during this time. All the world-class attractions, beautiful golf courses, and relaxing vacation amenities will all still be here when this crisis is finished and it is safe to travel once again. We look forward to having you stay with us in the very near future.
