We've been fortunate to try all three floors. Our favorite is the first floor because our girls loved the patio and being able run outside to the sandy area to play and hang out. DH loves it because the patio made the room feel so much bigger. The biggest advantage to the third floor is the view if you request theme park view. The elevation helps at night with viewing Wishes but we usually just walked down to sunset point from our first floor room and watched from there. If you do decide first floor, request a room as far from the lounge as possible to avoid crowd noise. Personally, I'd avoid the second floor- I see no big advantage there except being able to walk directly into the lounge without dealing with stairs.
