Get Around Easily
One of the best parts of Shades of Green is the convenience of our complimentary bus transportation to the theme parks. Bus pick-up and drop-off is located in the lower lobby, just past the Express Cafe. Don't forget to grab yourself some snacks at Express Cafe before you head out on your adventures.

Our drivers do everything possible to ensure buses depart on time. However, there are times when they may run behind due to inclement weather, heavier than usual traffic, or other unforeseen issues. If a Shades of Green bus has a mechanical issue procedures are in place to ensure our guests are picked up as quickly as possible. Shades of Green is not responsible for taxi or rideshare fees if you choose not to wait for the bus.
Starting Monday, May 1, 2023, the World Drive Expansion Project will begin between Shades of Green and the Grand Floridian Resort. The walkway from our hotel to the Polynesian Village Resort will no longer be accessible.
We're adding extra buses to the Transportation and Ticket Center route, so you can still easily get to your destination.
If you prefer to use your own vehicle, you can still do so, but please note that you will be responsible for the parking fee at the theme parks. Alternatively, you could use a ride-sharing service like Uber, Lyft, or the Minnie Van™ service connected by Lyft - all available within the Walt Disney World Resort.

Polynesian Walkway Closure FAQ
1. Will the walkway closure be temporary during the road construction or permanent?
No, the walkway closure will be permanent. At its conclusion the World Drive expansion will be a four lane highway with no crosswalk.
2. How long will the construction project take?
It’s projected to be completed in 2027.
3. Can’t we just walk alongside the road to access the Polynesian?

If you have a dining reservation:
• You can drive and park for free at the Polynesian
