We stayed over Christmas last year, non CL TPV, and requested high floor away from Chef Mickey's, with the beds facing the MK. It didn't feel like a parking lot view to us, it was magical seeing MK the last thing before sleep and the first thing when you woke up! Youngest is here just staring...

Now I will say if you are coming from someplace where you are used to a white, winter Christmas, it can be disconcerting!! But I've lived away from my childhood "Norman Rockwell" Colorado Mt snow Christmas for a long time now, so that no longer impacts my view of Christmasy.
