We've stayed at WL every year around Christmas for about the last 15 years. The 6th floor standard rooms offer a view of the fireworks over the treetops. You can also barely see the monorail, Contemporary, and MK through the trees that time of year while the trees are partially bare. We had the same room the last two years and it was lined up with the smokehouse where they do the Bar-b-que for the Whispering Canyon Cafe. Excellent aromas when you swing the balcony sliding doors open. If you get a room on the fourth floor directly over the restaurant it gets kinda noisy from the craziness in there. This year we're doing a Woods view and requested a room facing the lobby. The big Christmas tree is right outside the room, as well as carol singers and bell-ringers. As you can see from the map on my earlier post, all of the standard rooms are close to the main lobby , the restaurant and roaring forks, which has quick service and snacks. You'll have a short walk to get to the boat dock, but it's a Scenic walk, especially if the Geyser is going off. Have fun!
