We just returned on a teacher's discount. We were in room 654; no problems with room or location. Very quiet. We faced the entrance to the Swan but we also had a great view of MGM and the fireworks there on New Year's Eve. Just to let you know, floors 3 - 6 have been refurbised so I would definitely request a room on one of these floors. We could also see the boat coming from our room going from mgm to epcot and knew exactly when to leave for the dock. Have a great trip.
