We have a cash stay in a 1 BR villa coming up in April, and I'm wondering what people would recommend for room requests? Will this be a pool/garden view since it was booked with cash, or a true standard? I would love a village green view, but my understanding is that there are very few (like maybe 2) 1 BRs that have this view, so I'm debating if that would just be a wasted request. What would be some other nice views? A good view is pretty important to me, it really elevates my stay and opinion of a resort vs getting a substandard view. Using TPs the canal views look nice, I'm wondering if they might be nicer than views of the main pool. I guess it's very subjective, but can anyone tell me what they have liked as far as view?
For info, I don't care about noise off of the balcony, I do care somewhat about distance to the main amenities. when we stayed on the Inn side we were 2nd to the last room above the ESPN club and I was not a huge fan of that - not a great view (we were facing away from the BW) and super long walk. When given the choice between walk and view I would choose a long walk for a great view difference, like the difference b/w a TPV and a GV, for example, but honestly I'm not sure when it would be just the difference in garden views. Some of those rooms in the second building up toward DHS look to be a looong walk from the lobby/gift shops/etc and I don't know how I would like that.
I also realize this is just a request and if I understand right it's less common to get requests for DVC resorts. I figured I could try, though, at the very least using touringplans request email.
