Those are the two times of the year that we travel to WDW. The Food and Wine Festival, the weather, the lack of crowds all make late Oct one of the best times of the year.
The Christams decorations, the extra activities, the weather, and the lack of crowds make early December the other best time of the year to go.
I think your chances of a std view are nill, I also believe that you may have a difficult time even for a prefered view. The Food and Wine festival is a big draw for BWV at that time of the year.
Please let us know what you find out about availability.
Good Luck!!
