I, too, am glad to see the selfie sticks banned. I can't count the number of times I've had to duck to avoid someone sudddenly extending a stick to take a picture as I was walking along. I can imagine the problems they could create on a ride, although I haven't encountered that yet.

I'm glad to hear you and your family have benefited from Shades of Green. It is a wonderful program, but is not a Disney program; it is funded by the Armed Forces Recreation Center Resorts (AFRC) and operated by the Army in support of all branches of the U.S. Military. Disney benefits substantively by the proximity of Shades of Green to Disney attractions. The discounted tickets are tax-free, as are accommodations at Shades of Green. You may be right and I may be just cynical about Disney, but I am not convinced their motives are in the least bit patriotic.
I do, however, agree totally about the selfie-sticks!
