I consider the last room I had a "courtyard" view which was overlooking the back entrance to the YC. It was great and very close to the elevators which take you to the lobby quickly. The room was also just down the hall from one of the secret entrances that takes you out to the gazebo area where you are only steps away from the dock. Across the hall from this room would be a gazebo view. I also had a gazebo view room which was just a little further walk from the lobby but just as close to a secret entrance that we used most of the time which took us to the boat dock or we just kept going straight and we were on our way to Epcot. If you look at the map of the resort (page one of the thread) you can see the area I am talking about. I think either is just as nice but "gazebo view" would be what I have put on my requests. Just make sure you don't do on-line check in and when you are at the desk, be sure to find out where the room hey are putting you in is at (as well as which side of the hall which was my mistake the last time) and if it isn't what you want, ask if something would be opening up in the area you are interested in and tell them you don't mind waiting for it.

Great advice!! Thankyou again. I am making notes in my Disney binder with all these excellent tips.
I do actually prefer traditional check-in vs. online anyway. I feel like the checkin process is part of my overall Disney experience....
Maybe I'm a dork.
