Planning a Disney vacation with a military discount? You’ve probably seen Shades of Green, Armed Forces Vacation Club, and a few hotel offers. They help on price—but not always on sanity.
Instead of cramming the family into one room, crews are choosing Crewdogs: verified, military-friendly vacation rentals near Disney World with built-in savings, full kitchens, and room to decompress after the parks.

Shades of Green is the Armed Forces Recreation Center hotel on Walt Disney World property. It’s popular, but rooms may sell out and space is limited to a single room. Crewdogs homes offer multi-bedroom space, full kitchens, and built-in discounts—often a better fit for larger families.

Hotels (including Shades of Green) can be convenient for short stays, but families often prefer a whole home for extra space, privacy, laundry, and kitchens—especially with kids or grandparents. Crewdogs adds built-in discounts and a verified community.
