When we stayed there last year I asked for a room on a higher floor so I can get a better view of the entire savannah. I don't remember the choice for the best online check in but I did like the higher view. The one thing to know about this resort is that the walk from one end of the resort to the other can be a bit long. One night we went to the pool and we were on the complete other side of the resort from the pool. It seemed to take forever to get there. You may want to ask for a room closer to the elevator as well. It will save some walking at the end of the night when you come back from the parks and you are tired from all the walking.
