ooops... forgot to report back.
We did get a dedicated 2BR Lake View from June 12-19 at the 7month window. They had both MK and LK view available but no SV. I called right after 9am on Nov. 12 and she said I was the 3rd one she had changing a reservation to BLT.
Based on the pictures I've seen of a MK view, I didn't think the extra points for a MK view were worth it. If we want to view the fireworks from our resort, we'll just go on up to the TOWL.
Chic, did you make a room request?
