I stayed in a lagoon view room in Tuvalu and loved it! There isn't a beach right outside so the longouse looks like it's 'perched' over the water. Makes for very nice views of Wishes and the Electrical Water Parade at night. It's about a 30 second walk to the GCH (you have to go around the marina) and you enter right where the arcade and Captain Cook's is. There is also a beach right next to this longhouse where you can sit in a hammock and watch Wishes with less of a crowd like those at the main beach.
Also, you can hear a bit (the sound is faint) of the luau at night. Really adds to the atmosphere of the place! Plus since you're right at the marina there's the boat launch to the MK and the Grand Floridian.
Here are a few photos from our room.

My only cons about this longhouse is it is a hike to the TTC--probably about 5 minutes, and I wasn't too enthused about the garden views from what I could see. The garden view of Tuvalu looks right across into the side of Fiji.
