ooooooh, you're going to love it

as jean said.: definately request VG, but i would also add: try waitlisting for BW view. it's the same amount of points, so you have nothing to lose (but the view is OMG amazing!)
and don't think of trying to leave EPCOT with your drinks - they will stop you (and downing a grey goose slushie quickly gives brainfreeze

).
do get up early to check out the BW & enjoy a bakery goodie, watch the performers in the eve (they go great with an ice cream cone, btw

), eat at flying fish and/or BRG, walk to DHS (sooooo relaxing - i do it just for fun), hang out in the gazebo, read a book on the BW back balcony and/or the secluded area under it, check out community hall (and rent a free DVD), hit jellyrolls, walk over to fantasia gardens for a few rounds of mini-golf, watch a movie on the BC beach.....there are soooo many relaxing things to do at the BWVs

DH and i are doing our annual F&W trek oct 9-18 - we love that we have a relaxing stroll to our room, as the massive hordes of people push their way to the front of EPCOT

enjoy
