...furthest from elevator, upper floors (4 & 5) have best views of illuminations. some of the 2nd floor rooms have huuuuuuuge balconies.
there is only one bank of elevators (near lobby), so if you have a stroller or someone who finds stairs difficult, request near elevators.
there are many stairwells throughout the resort, which we prefer to elevators when on the 2nd or 3rd floors.
i would recommend first time BW view-ers request upper floor; the near/far from elevators is up to you ...
