Hi
I've stayed in the villas twice and once we had a quiet pool view that had a slight view of the lake - (and could see a peak of the water parade at night) and the other time we had a horrible view of the dumpster - these rooms were all the way at the end of one wing and faced out towards the driveway coming into the resort. BUT - we stayed in on NYE due to the rain - and we did have a pretty good view over the lodge of the MK fireworks - as well as part of the Epcot ones. I don't know if it was because there are bigger fireworks on NYE - I didn't notice them on any other night we were there. You could also walk over to the lodge and go up to a higher floor and watch. Basically you have woods view or pool view. I thought the pool view was nicer, and not such a hike back to the room. If you want a shorter walk back to your room after a long day, ask for a room closer to an elevator.
The villas are beautiful - you'll have a great time there regardless of the view I think!
VWL is one of the resorts I don't care about the view at, since they are all so similar (trees). However, there are a few 2BR's with pool views, which would probably be great.
