Would you pick the Dolphin with the military discount over Shades of Green? We aren't sure we are going to rent a car which will make getting the tickets a bit harder.
I like both resorts but for opposite reasons. S&D is great for if you want to feel like you're there in the action. It's terribly convenient for both Epcot and HS. since it's right there in the group of resorts and parks it's a pretty high energy feel. SOG feels more like a wilderness resort, really low key and restful. The downsides are the food and less convenience to the parks (though the walk to Poly to catch the monorail felt comparable to the S&D walk to Epcot, IMO), the upside is the peace. If you prefer to hit the parks hard, enjoying the Boardwalk in the evenings, and feeling like the world is right there the S&D. If you like your vacation to be about taking it easy, beautiful nature walks, and sitting by a quiet pool the SOG is perfect. Personally I like SOG best but I'm a slow vacationer and love the quiet. You milage will vary!
