We do not spend too much time hanging out at the resort so the view is not a big deal for us. We had Epcot/Illuminations views the two times we've been there and have been very pleased with the view. The first trip we had a top floor Epcot view and we were right over the canal. Nice view of Spaceship Earth right there in front of you when you open the drapes. Road noise was not an issue for us. Our second trip was again a top floor view of Epcot. For our Nov 2003 trip we've requested top floor pool view just to find out what that's like. We've requested top floor Epcot view for our Jan 2004 trip. Both of the Epcot views had good views of Illuminations though the room over the canal had a better view.
