We just came back from Boardwalk, we stayed at deluxe villa studio boardwalk view and absolutely loved it
We are planning to go again next year (my wife and kids are bugging me nonstop

), so I have a question.
We would rent points again at 11 month mark to increase our chances of getting the boardwalk view. However, I understand that is very hard to get, and sometimes you won't be able to get it even if you book exactly at 11 month mark.
My question is: how does Disney honor the room request? Is it based on time of booking, like they start full filling the requests for rooms booked very early and then move on? If I don't get a boardwalk view, I could settle for a garden/pool view facing the village green, so just wondering if I would have a high chance of getting Village green or if the requests are fulfilled totally random.
Thanks
