I believe 4Disnee really likes the Bonita tower with the waterfall outside. She has told me that it is a lot quieter and peaceful there. It all really depends on your preference. What your own likes/dislikes are.

Originally Posted By debtee ohhh well not to be in disagreement with those above me, as it's personal choice, but we loved the Sierra Tower, 9th floor overlooking the pool. It was a GREAT view and all light up at night! We could people watch in the morning everyone heading over to the coffee shop and Goofy's kitchen and could hear the water falls as we went to bed! Ahhhh bliss!

I used to think my favorite view room was Sierra Tower DTD, and I request it every time since 2001 but only get it about 50% of the time. Last week we got 12th floor Bonita Tower (higher than the other towers) facing pools/waterfalls. It was breathtaking! Even the surrounding area for miles (including Knotts) was beautiful. We could see the top of Space and Matterhorn Mountains but I'm not sure if the fireworks would have been visible (mid tower) because we were there during the week off season with no fireworks.
Originally Posted By ezoot We were just there in the Bonita Tower, 11th floor facing the pool. I agree with nemopoppins that the view was spectacular. My husband ran the half marathon, so he stayed in the room to go to bed early on Saturday night. He said he could see the fireworks and really enjoyed them. I do believe I am becoming a "hotel floor snob". "Oh, and what floor would you be on?" "Second floor?" "Well, at least it is a quick ride in the elevator!"
Originally Posted By atinkfan We were just in the DLH from 9/23 to 9/27. We stayed in the Sierra tower, DTD view, on the 6th floor. Everyone in our party loved it! From our room, we could see the top of Matterhorn, the top of Big Thunder Mtn. Railroad, and the tip top of Space Mtn., the Grand CA, Tower of Terror, Orange Stinger, and some of the other rides in CA. At night, we'd open up the sliding doors and listen to the music from DTD. It was really nice. When we were ready for bed, we'd close the doors and hit the hay! We did not hear much noise at all with the doors closed. And on another note, the beds at DLH are way comfortable!!!! I slept better there than I do at home!!!

The view wasn't great, maybe if we had been up higher we could have seen more. All i really saw was the Matterhorn and the Rainforest Cafe. Also, I wanted Sierra Tower or Marina Tower but they were completely booked. When I booked the trip 4 months prior I requested Sierra Tower, but they can't promise anything. That long walk back to the hotel with little ones and no stroller was a big bummer. I definitely would love to try GCH next time. Love that private entrance!
