I've always wondered how the room views work out, as someone said they had a savannah view and didn't see any or many animals... I would be really annoyed about that if we spend more money or points and didn't see any animals.
My FIL and MIL will be joining us next month, and he has been wanting to have a savannah view, he's been talking about it for years. So I booked the savannah view and spent the extra points to gaurantee it. I booked DH and I a value room, we've seen our friends value studio before and they had a great Sunset savannah view, only difference is the sq. footage of the room. We've been so many times that the room doesn't really matter much, as long as it's nice and clean.
I wanted to save the points, but I didn't want to take the chance, I've heard there are value rooms that are parking lot and pool view as well. And I have also read you can't make any room request, which is understandable, no one would want the parking lot view if there was a choice.
Just hope that the savannah view is really that and not just some standard room or value room that they end up charging us higher points for. I'll have to search and see if I can dig up a DVC room chart.
On a side note, we recently were at BLT at a standard room, and I was pleasantly surprised we were on the 2nd floor with a limited view of Magic Kingdom. I'm pretty sure we would have been able to see the fireworks okay from there.
At WL, I've always wondered if the studios all have non-pool views, we've always been on the bus stop side of the villas.
