Grand Floridian Rooms w/castle views

[Iluvlou]

I was wondering if anyone could tell me which is the best part to stay in Conch Key or Bocca Chica or Sanco Cay for the best view of the castle! I hear that Bocca chica has only side views. If anyone has actual room numbers they have stayed in that would be extremely helpful!

Boca Chica room #8317.

Views:

To the left: monorail line, Castle
Straight: lagoon, islands in the lagoon
Slightly to the right: Contemporary resort, top of the Wilderness Lodge buildings
To the Right: the Polynesian resort
Straight down: sandy beach between Boca Chica and the water

We enjoyed this room and view very much. We basically had a view of the entire lagoon and all of the monorail resorts.

P.S. There are some tall trees outside of this building but not directly in front of our balcony, and they did not obscure our view at all. This was 3 years ago, and hopefully it hasn't changed.

For our honeymoon we stayed in Sago Cay room 5441. This is a dormer room with a king bed and a great view of the castle. We loved this room and view! You can also see the Contemporary, the tops of Space Mountain and the monorail. It was also an excellent view of the fireworks on the 4th of July.

However, Disney doen't really like it when you request specific room numbers. Your best bet is to book the view you want, then request the building and floor preference. Nothing is guaranteed, but it always helps to list your requests.

Boca Chica rooms ending in -45 are corner rooms and offer perfect views of the castle. You get two balconies, both with lovely views, straight-on of the castle. We stayed in this room (after we gave up on concierge at the resort) a few times (8345) and the view was beautiful. The extra space was nice also.
