I was very pleased with our view of the fireworks from our fifth floor standard view room in May. With the recent tree removal, I'm sure it's even better now. We even saw Wishes from our balcony at Yacht Club in October!
I want to echo this! We were in a standard view room, 5050, last May. While there is a service area down below, we could see Wishes very nicely each night. Our kids thought it was such a treat!
Are the boats running from WL? I had looked up the transportation to MK from WL (which I have used extensively in the past) and they didn't show the little boat symbol.
