The little ones are usually around the court yard ponds. There is a bigger one as you exit the resort to the right that hangs out.

I hope you guys have an great upcoming visit! Thanks for watching!

From what I found under eligibility, ID is DD Form 2, PHS 1866-1 or 1866-3 and ID is DD Form 1173 or 2765 should work. This is the number on your Government ID. If you have any specific questions, here is Shades of Green information. Reservations & General Information +1 (888) 593-2242 Hours of operation Monday - Friday 0800 - 2100 hours, Saturday 0800 - 1600 hours, Closed Sundays and all Federal Holidays I hope this helps and that you guys have a great time at Disney!!

@@peppermo Thanks for watching!

@@leedebord1284 unfortunately the bus is the only way to get to the TTC, then you can take the monorail to the resort.You can take an Uber or Lyft, but it’s a little costly just to cross the street… I hope you guys have a great visit!

Wow! That is a lot. My family and I are there about twice a month to pick up tickets, coffee and ice cream. We hope you have another wonderful stay.

I retired from the AF in 91 (Jacksonville) then the fire department in 94. Was a season ticket holder to Universal...then in 98 we had huge wildfires in Florida...Disney said..(fire) could have free entry to Disney parks for 1 year...and of course we jumped on it! Then when the free ride ended....the wife said...we are going to keep going so we have been Passholders since 99. We love it. Thanks for your videos and please keep posting....I'll watch them for sure.

@@sealspeaks4137 Thank you! I always like to do different designs.

Shades Of Green is a Great resort.. Hopefully everything changed for the better since your last stay. I hope you guys have a memorable upcoming vacation!

I wasn't concern about the grouping as much as the operation of the weapon. But CANiK does have a SFx RIVAL-s that I feel is amazing for $900! Like I mentioned in the video, everyones body is proportioned differently, so its always good to do research and try out different weapons and calibers to see what works best for the individual.

The camera may not show the malfunction of the weapon well. It was due to the slide not seating all the way forward. The gun comes with two recoil springs. So the issue would be the need of a more powerful recoil spring and the possibility of a non lubricated weapon. I just wanted to see how it performed without gun lube. I usually use excess amounts of CLP. From my experience, ammo is only the issue if the primer was struck and the round did not go off. 115 GR ammo should be sufficient enough for any pistol. CANiK had already acknowledged this issue and is remedying the problem which I am content with. Im glad your weapon is firing well.

@@jowpopper790 I have seen many videos with the same issue. Thanks for the info!!!

@@starglitter1966 Best Friends is are go to for Rocko!! They have all kinds of discounts, even for staying at a resort.

I kinda dig the DVC membership.. But Shades of Green hits different for me mostly because I enjoy seeing my military Brothers and Sister enjoying life at home... And swapping war stories and hearing where all the service members are from will never get old for me.

@@flvetsyes I mean the DVC Hilton tower design at the Riviera and Polynesian is an eyesore compared to the unique hotels on the resort. I just hope when Bob Iger finally leaves, the new generation of management there will see the long term benefit in magical places like the wilderness lodge.

@@victormartinez9312 I’ll see if I could get Denzel next time and we could do Equalizer stuff!!

I feel that Disney and the Reedy Creek oversight district do not know the nostalgia that was created by the walkway for military families.

I hope to do the next drop this Friday at Hollywood studios. Specifically in Galaxy's Edge. Every drop has been different. I'll plan on doing one a month. Possibly two. Thank you for your comment and interest in my projects!

I make a limited amount of stuff then I give em out around the parks. Im happy that you liked them because the responses were not great when I gave em out. It didn't seem like people understood what they were.

@@flvets man that’s to bad. I’m sorry. 😢 well hopefully I’m in shades whenever you hand some out! I’ll be looking for them! But if you ever get a wild hair to make another one this little guy from Kansas would love one

Thank you!

Im sorry, I don't sell them. I make stuff then give it away, usually at amusement parks. Im glad you like 'em!!

Thank You!!

They aren't going to. Too much money to build, and also Disney doesn't want the cheaper veteran guests going over to the Polynesian anymore.

I believe it was requested by DOD but denied by Reedy Creek.

My understanding is the Central Florida Tourism Improvement board (formerly Reedy Creek Improvement District) actually offered to fully fund a crosswalk bridge, but Disney said NO. That is right. They said NO to free money that would not come from the Disney pockets. In my opinion, Disney does not want the Shades of Green (military members, families, and veterans, and Gold Star families) walking from the Shades of Green and visiting the Polynesian Resort restaurants and especially to use the Monorail to the Magic Kingdom! For more info, see TH-cam videos from "WDW Pro" who details this info much better than I ever could. Bottom line, Disney stopping pedestrian traffic to the Polynesian really steams my clams!!

When we visited last February, an employee told us that an agreement had been reached to build a walkway. However, Disney and the DoD could not agree on who was responsible for maintaining the walkway for the life of the structure. As a result, the agreement to build fell apart. Not sure of the validity of this info but this is what we were told.

@@kdganske53 I know families that have entered the resort that were non military. The guard does check for military, retired, and CAC cards at the gate. Also non military families can be sponsored to stay here. If you can get on, everything on the resort is tax free! I’m sorry my answer is not as clear as I would like it to be. I show my military retiree ID when I enter and tell them I’m there to buy tickets.

@@flvets Thank you, I just checked Google Earth and it appears that the route to the Golf Course goes past the guard house. Am I seeing this correctly? Do the guards manage the golf patrons from the resort patrons and if so, how can they manage golfers from wandering over to the resort? I always wished I could visit the resort just to see what it was like. In 1974 when I first went to WDW, I tried to stay at the Polynesian Resort but it was booked, as was the Contemporary. They offered the Golf Resort but as I wasn't a golfer, so I went to a local Holiday Inn. Being from Canada, I won't be passing by that way soon but during my past visits, I stayed on WDW property and took time to visit the various resorts. Shades of Green looks like a very tranquil resort.

@@flvets When we go we sponsor my brother and his wife and my sister. They are non-military. If you are honorably discharged military, but not active duty or retired you can only go in January and September and you can sponsor two additional rooms.

So, in 2020, they expanded the guest eligibility to Veterans. If you are a veteran with a honorable discharge, you can use all the facilities there without restriction. So the exchange, ticket purchases, restaurants, etc. And during the months of September and January, you can also book a room there as well. If you are a veteran with a service connected disability greater than 0%, you can use all the facilities and book a room at anytime of the year. Disabled veterans can also sponsor non-military guests as well. You just have to be present during check-in, afterward, the non-military guests get a special card that allows them access to all facilities during their stay.

it's actually a repurposed disney hotel that was called the disney inn. Disney struck a deal with the military. it's cheaper based on rank. and it's right across the street from the poly.

We’re a military family and I literally just learned about it too

They also have Hale Koa in Hawaii. Same thing

@@markbirchfield1120 Hale Koa is Beautiful!!

There are four Armed Forces Recreation Centers. Shades of Green at Disney, Hale Koa in Hawaii, Edelweiss Resort in Garmish, Germany, and the Dragon Hill Lodge in Korea.

yeah!

Tell that to PSA...

Tell that to PSA who is selling it for 1199.
