What are your thoughts on the Armed Forces Recreation Center Resorts such as Shades of Green at Disney or others?

Do you use them?

Are they a benefit that you really enjoy?

I have stayed at Shades of Green (Orlando), Hale Koa (Hawaii) and Dragon Hill Lodge (Korea) and enjoyed my stay at each one.

In the past Shades of Green was booked almost a year in advance but I called today and they have rooms for next month, are they no longer being used as much?

I've used both Shades of Green and the Hale Koa.
AWESOME resource. If in the area of any of them, I will select over any other option. Especially the Hale Koa.

I've stayed at the hale Koa, Dragon Hill Lodge, and Edelweiss Lodge in Germany (and it's predecessors) and have enjoyed the comfort and convenience of all of them. I've not stayed in any since my retirement but if I were going to an area with an AFRC resort, it would certainly be my first choice.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Europe and Edelweiss is one of our most stop places. I didn't make it there when I was stationed in Germany.

Sir, you'll have a great time there and they have plenty of excursions offered; quite literally something for everyone! It is my favorite AFRC location of those I have been to. Shades of Green is on my bucket list - maybe take the grandchildren there.

Hale Koa with the family 2 months before I retired (had massive leave to burn up). Right on the beach and the cost pales in comparison to the other resorts. They have great deals from time to time. I strongly urge people to get on their website contact list.
