Is anyone been to sog lately? Could you tell us if everything is up and running, is everything falling into place? Come on, someone tell us!!

caseywirth, it has been at least two years since we were there, just for my husband and son to play golf. The course was fun, though not as difficult as Osprey Ridge and Eagle Pines, and not as Disney-fied as the Magnolia, Palm and especially Lake Buena Vista. At that time, Shade of Green was a military hotel (I have no idea if that has changed). But since we are not involved in the military, we weren't able to participate with a lot of the stuff going on in the hotel. However, all the military families seemed to be having an absolutely terriifc time!

Yes it is a military facility. You pay according to your rank. It was closed for about a year but I believe it is back open now.

SoG is open and from what I have been able to read things are going great. We have a member here at DC, Franco54, who just returned. Hopefully he will see this and add his thoughts. He did write a trip report you might read as well. I will be at SoG in early/mid July so I should be able to answer future questions too.

There are some trip reports on tripadvisor.com. SOG appears to be fully operating now. My family is staying there May 21-26, I'll post a report when we return. We're non-military (my sister is sponsoring us) and used to the Disney hotels so I'm anxious to see how it compares.

Yes, non-military can stay at SoG. Only DoD/military can make reservations but they can book up to 3 rooms for friends or family. The friends/family do not have to be DoD. We are able to stay at SoG because we are going with some good friends who can book at SoG because of 100% disable vet status.

Only if you're traveling with someone who's eligible to stay there (military, certain government employees, etc.). We can't even check in without my sister, she has to be with us to show her military ID. An eligible person can sponser up to three rooms in the same stay, which is what my sister is doing.

My family and I will be going in December and I just can't wait! My husband is retired military and we have always stayed at sog. I love it there and can't wait to go. I would never stay anywhere else when I'm at disney. Im' just hopeing everything has fallen into place and everything is up and running!
