That's tough, kinda like asking for ice cream flavor recommendations. What are you looking for? What room type did you book? What's important to you?

I’m confused. What do you mean? I didn’t ask about ice cream

@dansdad asked you:

Pretty easy questions. Do you want a lower floor, upper floor or don't care. Did you book a Standard view or a Water view? Would you like to be near the magic elevators or at the end of the hallway?

We have a standard view. Do not know if we want upper or lower floor (pros and cons to each?). Pros and cons to being close to or far away from elevator?

The higher the floor your room is on, the more view you will have out the window, they lower your floor is, the quicker your trips up and down the elevator will be. So what do you value more, a more broad view out your window, or a shorter trip on the elevator?

As for distance to the elevator, if you are close to the elevator you will have a shorter walk, which can be nice after a long park day. However, if you opt for a room far from the elevator, it will most likely be quieter and more peaceful as you wont be hearing everyone walking to and from the elevators. So do you value a shorter walk, or less noise?

On my honeymoon they stuck me in a room facing the parking lot on the fourth floor. It was like 430 something. It legitimately was 60% obstructed at the bottom from the covered drop off area near the lobby. I complained that I paid for a view and got in the 600s and it was much better.
