Any hints as to how navigate this system? We are trying to plan a Disney trip. It is all a bit overwhelming!

P.S. Yes, we are military!

I don't quite understand your question.

Shades of Green website: http://www.shadesofgreen.org/

Go on the site and request availability.

I'm unclear as to what you're asking, too. Would you clrarify what you're finding difficult, and maybe we can help?

Go to www.armymwr.com, click on AFRC.

When I booked our last trip, I used the shades of green website to check availability, and then called the reservations line to book the dates I wanted and confirm the rate. I did not have to wait long on the phone, either.

B/c the rates are based upon rank, active/retired status, etc, sorting thru the categories can be a little confusing. Its well worth it, though!

Also, if you are Active Duty, save a day for Sea World- its free admission for active duty military and 3 of their family members as part of the Anheuser Busch "Salute to the Heroes" program- we loved it!
