We were booked at the Beach Club for our Land portion (Deluxe Resort to match our Deluxe Family Stateroom with Veranda). Our confirmation said "standard" view. I expected more than that having paid a great deal of money for our vacation package. I got some input from other internet sites and the DISboards regarding best rooms and locations at the Beach Club, and requested this at the time of check in. (remember, you can check in as early at 7 or 8 am, they hold your bags in storage, and you can head straight out to the parks.) They accomodated my request at check in, so we were able to get a room with a refrigerator, a full balcony and a view of EPcot.
So my experience is, once you get to your resort, they will do whatever they can to accommodate your wishes! Thanks, Disney!
