Today is our leaving day. I’ll give a brief summary of a very enjoyable trip...
June 4-15 with flights to/from Idaho on the entire first and last days. This was a multi-generational trip with a stay at Shades of Green (Dad is retired AirForce).

- We flew to MCO early in the day (arrived by 4pm) and are flying out late (leaving at 4pm), so our arrival and departure days can be relaxed. Good decision!
- Shades of Green is lovely, quiet, so well maintained! The rooms are as big as the Polynesian’s rooms and have a sofa! The grounds and pool are great. My daughter (15) felt like we were staying at a Disney Deluxe Hotel. Now that you have 60 day FP, there is NO reason to go anywhere else if SOG is an option for you. LOVE it!
- Uber is the answer to not having Magical Express. We Ubered to/from MCO and Universal - smooth and comfortable! Highly recommend. ($36-50 one way for Uber XL)
- June is indeed rainy and HOT; oppressively so at 2-6pm every day. Our solution: Table Service Dining daily at 2pm with a mandate to “EAT SLOWLY!!” 60-90 minutes in the A/C, a dose of Tylenol, and two mandatory glasses of water...ready to roll! Then off to a couple indoor rides or shows and by 6pm it was cooling off. (Daily afternoon rains and wind helped the cool-off process).
- Rain: daily showers every afternoon- ponchos people!
