Thanks sleepydog25

Have been discussing possible fireworks views from some:

I think there may be significant fireworks view for not only the five red dot cabins but also the ones near the marina. We've heard the rumor that they may take down some trees on the island between CR and WL to enhance the view. In my opinion, Disney may very well do that if they think it will help them sell the new high-priced, high-point requirement cabins. I don't think they will be quite the same view as the Poly Bungalows, but it wouldn't surprise me if they marketed them in a similar way and pumped "Wishes" sound into their rooms.

Our room at VWL last year actually had a view of the top of the highest Wishes fireworks. Before that I would have thought that no VWL rooms could see any of Wishes.

The Pearl Harbor Arizona Memorial is indeed impressive. Above is a photo I took while the Navy launch approached the Memorial. Many are familiar with iconic white Memorial straddling the Arizona, But I was not aware that it was open to the sky. I took the picture of the flag through the open top of the memorial as it was being lowered for a special memorial moment. And for those that didn't know, oil still leaks to the surface from the
Arizona . . .

Weird. I spend 6 years in the Navy, about 4 of which was in Hawaii (and other places on a submarine). When I was in off crew, I would report over at Ford Island at Pearl Harbor and pass the Arizona Memorial on the way over and back, watching the oil slick of the sunken vessel floating on the water. Even though I passed that monument a bunch of times, I never actually visited. I must remedy that one day.
 
Thanks for the warm welcome and the recommendations! So, how would you world the request? I like sending my room requests in through the DVC contact form. And I am afraid of asking for "not lake view" as I am afraid that someone reading it in a hurry might oversee the little word "not". If I ask for "bus stop view" as @jimmytammy suggested, would this work?? I have a bad track record with getting my requests, but in this case I really want to avoid the construction side and do all I can to avoid it!

Even numbered rooms are on the bus side so you could word it either just even numbered room or even numbered room bus side.
 
HI Groupies,

Saturday morning has become my check in day. I hope you are all well.

it's been a long three weeks.....dad is back in hospital, blood clots have developed now. We are just taking one day at a time.

Enjoy the weekend.
