Subbing in for my August 2013 trip! I was going to go POR, then I switched to POP, but I just can't stay away from my All Star Sports!

Hi! Just switched our upcoming January trip to All Star Sports, we were planning to stay at AofA but we could not get a deal there so we switched. I have never stayed at at *** but have stayed at Pop, Music and Movies so I am looking forward to staying there. My nephew if a BIG sports fan so we know he will enjoy this hotel.
I know there have been a few changes since the last time we stayed at an All Star Resort so I have a few questions for you experts:
I actually requested the Basketball section near the parking lot since we will be driving to the parks. We probably won't be spending too much time in the food court (we usually bring cereal to eat in the room before we head off to the parks). Is that a bad choice? Do you think, if we get Hoops, we will be too far from the pool? Not sure how much swimming we will get in during January!
Is the Surf's up pool open?
Do the rooms have curtains between the bed area and the sink area (they had this at Pop)?
Also, where in the room is the fridge? Last year when we stayed at the Pop they did not have fridges.
I'm sure I will have more questions so I thank you in advance for your assistance. I tried to look in the first post but some of the information seemed a bit out of date.
I just switched from standard to preferred for the night before my cruise in Feb, as I was able to get the room-only discount in preferred, but there were no discounted standard rooms available. I was originally going to request Homerun, as my DS plays and lives for baseball. Now I have no idea what to request, as we will be in surfs-up, I presume. What should I request to avoid a parking lot view. I am thinking of requesting 3rd floor, pool view, but will that be loud? What are my chances of just asking for homeroom at check in and being able to get it? (doesn't bother me that I paid for preferred, I am still saving $$ over my original standard rate) Thanks, everyone!
Thanks for the answers to my questions. I'm thinking about doing on-line check in this time since we are arriving before check-in time. I'm a little nervous to do that since we are traveling with other family members and have requested connecting rooms. I also requested Hoops building close to the parking lot since we will be driving and want to be close to the parking lot. The CM I spoke with kind of giggled when I said "close to the parking lot". He told me that he's never had anyone request that before.
Do you think it would be pushing my luck to also request the 3rd floor? I really want to have the connecting rooms

So the Sports Resort rooms have refridgerators, coffee makers, microwaves .... in the rooms?
Only ice boxes. No coffee maker or microwave.

They now have free wifi too and you can use a corded connection the room. If they put microwaves in it will be nearly perfect.
