I always request to be away from the elevators because I like the views much better. It is of the waterway, bridge and front enterance in the front of the resort and the waterway to MGM on the side. You can even see TOT and the Fantasmic fireworks and hear the music. There are plenty of birds, ducks and other assorted wildlife in the grass and water, it is very quiet and in all reality the walk is max maybe 5 min from the fartherest room to the lobby ,in very nice air conditioned hallways that even has hidden Mickeys for your entertainment! I will admit that first walk to the room when you are just eager to get in your room seems like you are walking and walking but once you get the lay of the land and figure out alternate exits and routes it is a breeze and it is a very nice room location.
