Shades of Green is a resort that is open to military folks. From what I understand, it is comparable to a mod at value resort prices.

As far as ticket discounts, I don't know.

This year they have the free ticket for the military person and a discounted price for up to 5 others that are traveling with him.

They also have a great discounted rate in the resorts that are for retired military.

Hope this helps!

Does anyone know the discounted price? My dad is a retired military man and it would be nice to get a discount.
