Mine was of the Dolphin's Grotto pool and waterfall with the Tower of Terror in the background!!!:D
 
As much as we love the animals at AKL, I have to say the best view was a castle view from Hawaii at the Polynesian. My hard to impress teens were absolutely floored when we walked into the room and could see the castle across the lake.
 
iw ould have to say the wilderness lodge
just looking at it, hearing the music
just gives me a good feeling, the feeling of wanting to play cowboys and indians and maybe go for a swim

the look of it gets me every time

Well, I'd say my club level room at the Contemporary. But the lagoon view rooms at the Grand Floridian and concierge lagoon view room at the Polynesian also had great views. ;) We're staying BW view at the BoardWalk next year, so I'm sure it'll rank pretty high up there. :)
 

A lagoon view room in the Boca Chica bldg. at the GF. Sitting on the balcony you could watch the EWP, the boats on the Seven Seas Lagoon and see the MK. The castle changing colors at night was pretty and hearing the music and train whistle from the MK was neat.

You wonderful smells from Narcoosees was a bonus.
 
Eventhough the POLY is not my favorite resort...

I would have to agree with the Hawaii POLY lagoon view of the castle.

and you get fireworks and the electric parade.

It has the most impact.
 
Coronado Springs, Cabanas, water view. Gorgeous!
 
The best view I ever had was a room in Aorteroa witha view of the monorail, everytime I was in the room and I would see it coming by I would think " I'm finally here".
 
Wilderness Lodge. We were getting the kids settled down for sleep and we suddenly heard music from outside our balcony window. We opened the curtains and looked out to see the water parade sailing right by ! It was beautiful ! We were all so surprised as we didn't know it even existed at the time. You could also see the gyser erupt from our room too.
 
Gosh. That is a tough one. I have two.
AKL where we had a deluxe room with one of the larger balconies under the thatched hut roof. We were at the very end of the wing sort of facing the back but could see from Arusha Savannah over into the Uzima Savannah. Near our room the savannah was not large so the animals all had to go by our room when moving from one savannah to the other. All four of us could sit comfortably on the balcony with a table to set drinks on.
My other favorite view was from room 1157 at the Yacht Club. It was a ground floor room right next to the turret and facing the lagoon. We had a nice size patio with a little bit of a garden and hedge in front and then the expanse of lawn and the walkway and lagoon and Boardwalk. It was like having our own estate.
 
Never have had a castle view yet, but hope to some day. For now though the Boardwalk view of Epcot and nightime fireworks has been by far our best view.
 
Have had the castle view from the Poly.
Animals at AKL
BWI room above ESPN facing Epcot. Great view of the fireworks

But the best, IMO, is the 14th floor of CR facing MK. We were one of the closest rooms to MK. You could see the activity in Tomorrowland so good. I believe I could see the tree in AK. Just lloking at all that WDW porperty.

We had an amazing view from a Swan studio room in the main building on the 7th or 8th floor. It was almost a panaromic view of the BW with EPCOT behind it (we could see the golf ball and the WS-and Illuminations clearly).

We also could see the YC/BC and the Dolphin and off in the distance to the northeast we could see the CR on the horizon and even the fireworks from MK.

The view was really breathtaking!!
 
Castle from the Contemporary Tower. It was great to watch the fireworks from the balcony!!!
 
Our best view was a direct view of Spaceship Earth from the fifth floor of Beach Club Villas. While a castle view of MK is magical, the castle looks small and distant from the Polynesian. On the other hand Spaceship Earth from BCV is huge, several times the size of a full moon, and impressive any time of day or night.
 
Dolphin, 17th floor.Best view of Illuminations and Fantasmic.We use to leave Epcot at 8:15 to go to our room to watch Illuminations.

Let me put it this way:
- Hotel room $154
- 2 4 day park hoppers $408
- Wine Bottle $12
- Watching Illuminations from you air conditioned room,while weather outside is 90 degrees.....PRICELESS!!! ;)
 
We've had CBR in waterview and standard. WL in wooded view. The Poly in garden view. The best has been those two times at the Poly as we got monorail view. I can't imagine anything better then sitting on the balcony and seeing those monorails whiz by! In 18 days I will have that exact same view and can't wait!!!!! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc
 
Contemporary TC Magic Kingdom View, FANTASTIC!
