on our last trip (april) my parents and my family stayed that the WL we ended up with the views of the dumpster/ unloading area well my father who was at Disney under protest anyway (he came for my son's 7th b/day but had a great time once he got there.. go figure) took one look at the room, calculated how much he was spending a night on the room and pretty much went through the roof 
. He was very nice to the bellman that brought thier rooms belongings and our rooms belongings up but then asked the man, would you pay xxxx amount of dollars a night to look at dumpsters? The man started laughing and said "no" so my mother came to my room and said "your father is not happy about the view you might want to explain the type of room you got us" so I told him that it was standard and that it said that it could be a view of a parking lot. Well he still wasnt happy about it, he called the front desk area and the person that spoke to him stated that he could upgrade for another 300.00, needless to say this did not go over well with him so my mother went downstairs and spoke to the mgr. there, she explained the situation to him and he told her that he would see what he could do but couldnt promise her anything (this was easter weekend by the way) she told him she understood and went on her way. A little while later she called my room and told me that the mgr. had found another room for them it was very far away from our room but it was not over looking dumpsters, this room ended up overlooking the pool area. He was happy with this and ended up speaking to the manager and thanking him for making the room change during such a busy time. The mgr. told him that he understood and that actually a lot of people complain about that row (area) of rooms and their views. Parking lots are one thing but dumpsters blah!! we didnt move rooms though it wasnt a really big deal to us, and we got to see some fireworks over the trees which was pretty cool.
