Prost!

Celebration Veterans Club Members!

This is the one you've been waiting for.


The 27th Annual Shades of Green Oktoberfest is almost here, and the Veterans Club of Celebration is rolling in with steins high and appetites higher.

Dust off the lederhosen. Find that dirndl in the back of the closet. On Friday, October 9, 2026, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m., Shades of Green turns Lake Buena Vista into a Bavarian beer hall — and our crew will be right in the middle of it. This is the kind of night where the stories get louder, the pretzels disappear faster than a formation at liberty call, and nobody leaves hungry.

The food is the real parade. An authentic German buffet is the main event: fat bratwurst and knackwurst with a snap, schnitzel that actually deserves the name, warm soft pretzels the size of a cover plate, sauerkraut, red cabbage, German potato salad, and enough sides to require a second pass — which you will take. Save room for strudel. You will not be sorry.

Then there are the beverages. Paulaner is on the banner for a reason. Expect cold German lagers and Oktoberfest Märzen poured the way they were meant to be poured — into a real glass, with a head on it, while a band is playing. Raise it. Clink it. Say Prost like you mean it. Non-beer drinkers will not be left at the wire; there will be plenty to toast with.

And the fun is not optional. Live entertainment, games, music that makes even the shy ones tap a boot, and a room full of veterans, families, and friends who already know how to turn a Friday night into a memory. Shades of Green is our kind of ground — an Armed Forces Recreation Center on Disney property — so the camaraderie comes built-in.

Gather your friends and family. This is one of the premier nights of the season, and it sells out quickly so grab your tickets before they vanish.
