Be aware that a courtyard view can be a room overlooking the VWL courtyard and quiet pool

I personally would take a courtyard view over the studio for a variety of reasons:
Newer rooms at the WL and the decor there appeals to us more than the VWL. We like the new flat screen TV and headboards and find the villas to be a little too "corny" on the nature theme. They remind of the cheap cabins we used to rent up in NH. The WL decor is a little bit more tasteful and appealing (Thats of course our opinion)
I prefer being in the main lodge as well, especially for having easy access to the main pool, dock and beach area, and quick service eateries.
The views can be "better" depending on where your room is; but most CV rooms do in fact face the pool area and bay lake. Waking up to the view each morning would be amazing! Though some VWL do have a nice view!
For a special occasssion like that, we would still prefer a studio to a standard guest room. It's nice to have a seperate seating area to sit and relax and not be forced to sit on the bed all the time to watch TV, eat, etc. Again though, we do prefer the WL over the VWL, and the pluses of the lodge (room decor, amentities, etc) outweight the amentities of the villa. The difference in decor is just too drastic for me, and I feel there is a major difference in quality.
Either way though... your a disney bride

Congrats!
